Visuals and audio are really good. Historical aspect of the game is breathtaking, I utterly enjoyed it. Game is really quick and fun to play. Overall, fantastic job invoking the feels in players. Great job!

I'm generally a big fan of war portrayed as the horror it is, as opposed to glory, and this game captures that pretty splendidly. Took me a while to figure out the use of fallen pooches as makeshift bullet-shields, but this adds a layer of strategy to the proceedings.

It's stark, bleak, and very well-executed.

The presentation for this is so good! It's like I is was in a Band of Doggos. :D Nice simple easy to get into game. Well done!

Developer

It looks great and sounds great.  I like the world building thats going on, it feels like something I want to explore more.  It took me a while to realise the bodies would block the bullets, but it was cool once I realised that. I wasnt able to beat the game though, is the objective to push to the top of the screen?

Developer

Thank you! Yes each level is completed by pushing to the enemy line, or "trench entrance" at the top of the screen.
