Nice little game. Good start that could be taken deeper. My first owner was killed. :( But eventually I was deemed a Good Boy. First time through the controls weren't working but I think that was related to screen size. After a page reload and restarting the game in full screen they worked fine. Enjoyed playing. Nice job.
Thanks! I don't know why it does that, after the jam i will be updating this with more, robust ccode ;)
I thought this was pretty cute riiight up until I failed to stop the thief! I like the effect of the mixed 3D and 2D. Would be interesting to see how you plan on expanding on the concept!
Oh the things i have planed for this game... ;)
I liked this game.
The Rotational Effect (...when you reach a corner) is very cool (I don't know if it is 3D or a simulation by using 2D sprites, but overall I can say it was well done).
It is fun to go out there scaring cats and thieves XD
I am glad you liked my game. The house is a 3D model in Blender ;) very basic to be honest. Somehow managed to f**** up the UV's and that's why it looks weird in some places and couldn't add more "paint" without affecting other areas. I see it as a learning experience ^^.
I will be updating this to do more objective and add mechanics and levels.
Cool idea,
I hope the cat didn't die. xD
You could animate the arrows at the start to show the alternate control too. (ASD)
The cat is fine ^^! Animating the arrows, that would be a nice addition indeed.
so cool
Thanks!
good 2d mix 3d idea!
Thank you!
I liked the camera shifting and the way it played with flattened perspective. Very on theme. :) I do wish there were more game in this game, though. Right now it's just bark at three things and you're done. Also, music please!
Thanks I will be updating this in the future so give me a follow if you like!
nice art! too bad that the thief kill my owner haha.
Thanks! That took a dark turn didn't it?
cool game, nice art
Thanks!
cool game, nice art
A fun concept and nice camera shift.
(btw, Έλληνας είσαι;)
Thanks m8!
( Yes, είμαι Έλληνας!).
Extremely short, but with a very cool shifting mechanic. I only wish there was more to this game as I was able to finish it under 3 minutes. Good Job thought
Thanks for checking my game. Indeed its a short game, the idea was to make the player think playing a 2D game that is actually a 3D world. I will be updating this in the future if you are interested.
the 2D spinnig around the 3D was a great idea - sadly the rest of the game is a little too little...
You are right, it is a short game.
I think the art style is very unique, but the gameplay and mechanics are too simple. Maybe adding new mechanics and challenges would be a good idea.
Thanks for checking my game, I will add more stuff after this jam.
Very nice! It fits the theme perfectly and I like the noise ambience + the black and white color palette
Thank you!
simple, but very cute and the 2D 3D shifting is pretty nice, good work.
Simple yet effective, really lovely graphics!.
Thanks!
This game me some Fez vibes. I like the 2D with the 3D spin mechanic. The controlling a dog was a fun thing. Rick would love it, should have put a draggy button in it. LOL. The bark mechanic is nice idea. I think I would have like to have seen maybe a jump of something to make travelling a bit more interesting. That is where I think you could take it next. Needs a bit more and you would have a really great game. The black and white aesthetic was charming as well.
Thanks for the feedback. Fez was exactly the inspiration as i spent one day on what to make and i said f**** it lets make a cutsy fez game!
I do intent to put jump and bite mechanics.
Love the 2d to 3d aspect switching!
Thanks!
Such a cute game! It's nice to be a good boy sometimes.
Thanks!
