This reminded me of a game I used to play in 1995 and brought back a lot of memories, the controls on this game area actually pretty fun I loved the fact you can jump off stuff and get a boost it really made the game feel like a puzzle where you have to thing, and the whole thing with the platforms appearing and disappearing was pretty cool! Also loved a lot of the pixel art, good stuff!
I'm a big fan of The Hounds of Tindalos, so I really liked the idea behind the game! The platforming is quite challenging, and it would have been nice if the parry jump allowed you to see the screen better so you could control where you land, but other than that everything seems to work well. As others have said, the sound of the dog is quite torturous-
I'm so bad at it, it's concerning xD I like how creative you get with the different paths and how various the platform elements were !
This was a very interesting game. The sound the dog made caught me off guard at first lol. I really liked the music, that was very well done.
Honestly, it was a place holder sound that we never got around to fixing.
I was mind-blown by your animations as soon as I started the game! Loved the dog (of-course) and the level design. I did find that the parry-jump was a little difficult in terms of timing, especially whether I had to press it one at a time or together. Really cool tho!
Thank you! Our main artist put in a crazy amount of work!
That poor dog has seen some crazy shit
Definitely challenging! The jump phasing platforms made for fun brain fart moments but my favourite was the animation of the dog at the dance party. So good!
I can't believe how good the animation was for such a silly game lol.
I would have preferred if the dog barked instead of whatever noise it makes haha
That's your punishment for getting hit. You know what they say, if you don't want to hear my awful sound effect, you just gotta "git gud".
Crazy stuff!
Being yeeted into the air after parrying, those phasing platforms, and that story... good stuff!
I got frustrated at the second level, but I'd say you got the "losing my mind" part of cosmic horror right.
