The start music is awesome, absolutely on the nose, it took us back to the 80s for sure. The fonts were very good and we especially like the wobbling on the characters as a bold/italic alternative for things like "MY" and "TRILBY". The duality reveal was good and overall it met the jam duality theme very well. We wondered what was going on until we realized we were a dog. Combat took a long time to get to but was a very well presented rock paper scissors, although it did get a bit stale towards the end. Sniffing the scent was a great idea. We wanted to be able to "use" the lampposts as well - maybe there was a hidden key for that? We managed to finish the game in about 20 minutes so it was a bit short but then it kept our interest to be able to play for 20 minutes so it's not all bad. Great idea, well executed. Good job!
Thank you! Using the posts was planned but scrapped for time. You would gave been able access your “pee-mail” and get info that other dogs left, as well as save at fire hydrants. But that just how jams go :) thank you for playing it!
Didn’t intend of facing a sentence that just resonated with me seconds into the game.
Oh, the writing in this is really good and funny!
The “and use my…” NEONnose with game logo flashed on the screen was great.
The text speed is fine, but could also be a little faster / have a fast-forward type of mechanic.
Switching to Blake and the battling is really fun! I like essentially rock, scissors, paper the battle. And telling a story from two different sides with different, connected characters was really good! I really enjoyed the game!
Haha, I’m glad you enjoyed the story! You’re absolutely right about the text being a little slow. Pressing Esc or B on the controller instantly displays the line, but I never mentioned it anywhere. I’ll update the game page to mention it. Thanks for playing and I’m really glad you enjoyed it.
Pretty cool game. Quite a bit of walking but the combat is fun, with a cool story.
Thanks so much for playing it!
