This was so much fun!  I loved that you would upgrade your sled and weapons between runs.  I really enjoyed this!

really like the look you went with for this game. I sucked pretty good the first 2 tries ran into trees

Wow, super interesting idea! I loved the music and art, well done! My only complaints are that I would like to be able to shoot without aiming directly at something, and a fullscreen mode would be nice.
Also, I seemed to be able to buy rockets for 10$ instead of 20$.

This was a fun one! I love the artstyle and the whole concept of buying/upgrading your dogs. It took me a while to get a hang of controlling the sled and I got stuck on a wall unable to move at one point but the game was lots of fun! The gamestop dog got a laugh from me too :D Great work!

Good concept, it is fun. Once you restart the game, it prompts you to the "no dogs left" message but then when you try it again, you can play again. Little bug I guess.

Really enjoyed the game. Fun Concept. Even mild difficulty was hard for me xD. For some reason my cart was not moving sometimes and stuck on flat ice. But, yeah, it was a lot fun.

10/10 would catJAM dogJAM to.

i don't know if it should be like this but every second start of the game it says 'no dogs left' and you die. should it be like this?

It's a bug I didn't track down before the end, glad you liked it though!

This game was lots of fun. I adore all the models! Each and every dog is so cute and good.  I wish the gameplay was faster, but its really impressive how much work you put into this in such a short time.

Really nice graphics and gameplay, but the controls are a bit janky. 10/10 :D
