Hah, this was great. It's almost like a spin on an on-rails shooter but with more player agency. Hilarious concept, great execution. Nice work!

Very cute and fun to play with. The idea of the dog dragging you around is quite cool and fits the theme very well. I just wish there was more to do in the game than just shooting. Perhaps the weapon upgrades as the level progresses or collect stuff to upgrade something (scatter gun? laser?) or the other so that I can look forward to the next wave. I suppose given the timeline squeezing in all this would not have been feasible, but something to think about for the future...

Out Of CTRLHey KnightOrc, thanks a lot for your detailed feedback! We do agree with everything, we spend a lot of time trying to polish the movement and the basics of the game, our biggest mistake was the scope for sure. That being said, we are probably going to add a few extra things like the ones you suggested after the rating period is over!
This is one of the best and most original game I've seen so far.

Haywire Toy FactoryWow, this was very polished for a game jam game. I'm surprised at what your theme was able to accomplish. Your take on the theme was definitely original and great. Good job~

Keyboard DancerAs a dog owner, I believe this game is an accurate depiction of what would happen if we were attacked by evil slimes during a walk.
I also love what you did when the ctrl key is pressed
Only bit of improvement is I wish there was a fullscreen mode
First game I give a full 5/5 to, I love the concept and the execution

Control Is An IllusionThanks a lot for the feedback Jean. The game was kinda too much under the scope creep umbrella, I didn't had a good time programming this whole movement from the doggo, so things like a better wave balance or other enemies/stuff to make waves more fresh were not possible on time. But we completely agree and hope after the rating period is over, we can go back and add a few small tweaks to make the experience overall positive!
Again, thanks a lot for the feedback!
So many great little details, I really admire the level of polish. Game was simple and fun, too!
