Ranked from 21 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
You play as a dog who must literally risk it for the biscuit while their human is gone. Bad Dog is a game about a sneaky dog raiding their house for snacks, but not all snacks are good for you, some make you sick or sleepy and breaking any furniture leaves evidence for your human to find.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We reused some UI/transition scripts from our last jam entry, and used some open source shaders. This was our first 3D game, and we all really wanted to learn blender, so all 3D assets (besides the house's windows & doors) were made by our team.

How many people worked on the game?

Fun game, fun art. I felt the time until the owner shows up was too short.

Very cure concept and fits the theme so well.  I had a lot of fun hunting for bones while trying not to make a mess.  Well done!

I was super interested in playing it because initially we had similar idea about a cat sneaking in house for snacks)

Despite being in 3D the game plays very smooth in the browser, the only issue is when some objects drops, game freezes for a second.

Two meters in the bottom corner shows something, but I didn't get what is it or how it affect the game. The tutorial said that some buffs might be helpful, but it's not properly communicated to the player what the buffs.

Would be nice to have a timer that shows time left, without it the pacing for the first round isn't good as you don't feel pressure. For the second run it's better as you know you don't have much time and try to find bones faster, the game is more fun at this point.

Objects breaks way too easily and sometimes it feels impossible to get the bone without breaking something (like bone on the table, didn't get how to get it without dropping a chair.

At the end, then the owner comes, it's a bit disappoint when you loose when the only one thing is broken. It means that when you play in broke something you have to restart to complete the game, and this feedback about failure you only got at the end of run. Would be super cool if you can restore broken item, but it would take time, so it would add more pressure on you, no instant loss.

Also, would be cool to sniff so it gives you a hint where is the closest bone, more feel like you are a dog.

 The art is well done, it's simple and stylish, a bit dark for my preference, but it's not bad.

Overall, well done, I enjoyed playing it.

Fun game, and nice work on all the assets! Was fun getting to destroy everything in the house. Agree with other comments about maybe including a timer.

Cute game. It is impressive you made all the art during the jam, and the 3D main menu looks great. The first thing I did was to rebind some keys, so thanks for including that.

It took me a while to realize that although one of the outside doors could not open, the other one could. Ultimately, I managed to get all 15 bones but not without ravaging the house, haha.

Well made game and it's clear where the inspiration came from 😂 the song felt a bit out of place for me but other than that, everything was spot on!

really well made game

That was fun.  Couldn't get all the bones though.  Kept flipping the couch!  Would be nice if there were a timer so you knew how much time you had left before the owner came home.  Not a critical bug, but there were several times over a few games where "E to pick up" was still displayed after I had backed away from it the extent that I couldn't pick it up.  Maybe some items were supposed to be that way so that the player is aware of them?  No idea, but I had fun playing this.

Awesome! The visuals are great and the gameplay is very neat. In the browser version, using Opera GX, I had some crashes, but it might be the browser's fault. Very enjoyable, and I think I understand my dog's destruction around my house better now. Congratulations!

What a cute game with a great artstyle! Broke everything in the house but at least I got my tasty bones lol

Submitted(+1)

This game is so fun and the art style and graphics fit perfectly with the vibe, and it’s impressive how polished it feels for a jam entry. Even more impressive knowing your team was just learning Blender! the 3D designs look great and add so much charm. Good job!

This game really make you feel like a bad dog.
Wish there was a Windows built tho, my pc can't handle most 3D html games very well.

Submitted(+1)

I managed to collect 8 of them :)
Graphics are really awesome. 
though it was hard to get the one under the shelf and on the dining table 
Overall, it is a great game. 
Nice work, devs!

Really liked the graphics! Somewhat simple, but still really fitting to the gameplay. The gameplay was super fun, and the little speed buscuits also. I accidentally ate a plant :I

I managed to get 13 bones before the owner got home, which was also really cool with the top down view of the house. Good job!

Would love it if you tried my game as well :)

Always impressed with 3D games for jams! I could only manage to find 11 of the dog biscuits, so I ate a bunch of books instead and puked. 10/10.

Might be an issue on my browsers end but I could not move once in the game. If there is a windows version add I will gladly come back and try it out. I can at least comment so far that I love the art style!

Should be fixed now, thanks so much for noticing that! We were still adding sound effects at 5am and that seems to have been the culprit lol

Works great now and super fun! Like I mentioned before, love the style and shader work and a fun game. Thanks for putting it together!
