How does the game fit the theme?
We incorporated the theme by designing a game where you play as a dog, avoiding obstacles and protecting your owner from objects on the sidewalk. Neither you nor your owner can collide with anything in the game.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Only SFX e ST

The visuals and music are simply stunning! I think it would be cooler to bark at grandpa for dashing up/down rather than dog jump, that is not very useful. Anyway, RUN GRANDPA, RUN!!!

A Simple Fishing DayVery nice visuals and solid gameplay! I would have loved to see a deeper exploration of the dog and owner being separate entities. Perhaps and obstacle that the dog can only jump over but the owner can go through, or even an obstacle the owner can go through but the dog can't at all. Overall, well done!
Great job! The visuals look really good and the concept is wholesome! Maybe you could add more variety of obstacles.

Cleaning UpGreat job ! The low poly design is cool, miss a bit of content and to bounce a bit with someone else comment, i think the delay with the owner following the dog could have been the mechanic that makes it original. I think it lacks others traps that can happen in the street like a manhole cover, guys with a plexiglass or other non lethal obstacle like a banana that slip the controls, a bypasser (moving) and after that you can increase the difficulty and diminish the speed increase to avoid the motion sickness of the player (or make it later at least).
Still funny to think the blind guy has a thermonuclear engine for running at such speed x)
Super great job, i repeat !

Nothing can break my strideMade it to 114! Very simple, but not bad for a typical endless runner. I think it could have been a bit more interesting if the old man lagged behind the dog a bit, that way you had to move in advance. Not bad!

Alfredo FishingI love the idea about playing as a guiding dog.
Gameplay is simple but well done. Movement is smooth and navigating between obstacles was fun for a while.
The fact that dog owner moves exactly where dog does instantly, felt a little bit "unnatural". Some small delay or even momentum might make it more "interesting", but maybe it would make the game unplayable.
On higher speed, I was experiencing some motion sickness (I had to focus my eyesight to dog and his owner and feel the obstacles only in peripheral sight) , but it might be subjective for each palyer.
Visually - I like the low poly models and pastel color pallete. Music is chosen well.
Overall great job!

Dredged UpThis is very cute. I like the characters and I love the music. It took me a few rounds before I realized I could jump. My best score was 62M.
