What a cool game! 5/5 across the board, no notes.

I really love the music in this game. It's way more difficult than I was expecting, but I'm going to keep going and hopefully I can eventually win.

Developer

Thank you for playing!
I'm working on a newer version with more hints for the mechanics now that I have more time, it will make the game easier to understand

The puzzles are well thought out, had me calculating how many moves would it take for every dog to keep their eyes off me when walking past them. The bird definitely gave some challenge as I sometimes lost my acorn to it. Overall it was fun and challenging. Nice Job!

Nice game! Even though there’s a lack of contrast in the color theme, which causes some troubles with player’s vision, i still like these colors of autumn evening idk. I’ve really enjoyed the process of playing. It takes some time to understand how it works, but after that you don’t want to quit the game. Good job!

Thank you for playing!
I'm working on ways to highlight better the other animals, I just didn't have the time, the newer version I'm working on should be better on that.

Very nice game!  It was only at board 3 where I noticed the dogs were what was taking the cans on earlier levels.  The animations were so fast on boards 1 & 2 that I didn't know what was wiping across the screens.  I could see the sight-line squares on the ground, but until board 3 didn't know what they meant.  I think the dogs blend into the background a lot and are hard to see. 

The audio was all well put together to give the game atmosphere.  I think the color scheme was a little too mono, but that is a question of style.  The puzzles were well thought out...and you even need to use some of those cans.

Nice submissions.

I am working a little more on this game, the lack of animations was mostly because of the time and high chance of creating bugs , I have a new version with better animations on some parts, and some other fixes, I will try to get a more complete version then use it as a base for another future project. I also want to adjust the colors and shadows to highlight the other animals, and implement proper animations on the bird.

Thanks for that feedback, that really helps me!

Entertaining puzzle game, It took a few tries to understand how things worked. I think the graphics/colors made it a bit difficult to see, also with the resolution. but overall I mean the gameplay was great and the puzzles were engaging so great job!

I'm working on the colors and animations, the newest version I'm working on should be better on that

Excellent game! I don't quite agree with the colors, but the game is cool, puzzles are interesting and overall idea is great. I made it to the end and I had great time playing your game. 

Thank you for the game!

Thank you for playing the game, and thanks again for the feedback! Really appreciate it!

The colors were inspired on Lavender town from pokémon, at lest how we remembered it, and some other games from that time. We still want to improve the visibility on the game as this color scheme make things harder to see, maybe some animations and shadows... We will see what we can do.

I really liked to work on it and we want to do more things with it, add more mechanics levels and improve the game play, you can check it again after some time, maybe we have something new until there!
