I love the idea, and I like the simplicity of the layout. That's why I clicked on the game! Even without a tutorial, it wasn't difficult to understand, which is in contrast to a lot of the games on here that I played.
In fact, I think I prefer it without a tutorial, because I enjoyed trying to piece together what I was supposed to do. That was a big part of the fun for me.
When I figured out what I was supposed to do, it felt a bit too easy. If there was more of a puzzle to it, such as "Only 3 Treats", I think it would make the game even more interesting :)
Nice idea, but using treats is sort of makes it too easy.
Cool idea. Treats are OP and there doesn't seem to be much AI predictability with the dog's actions and the effect of the items (well, except the aforementioned treats). I believe Mark Brown talked about AI predictability on one of the videos (maybe it was one of the videos about stealth?). It should give you a good idea if you find it.
Congrats for getting the game out, though, gamedev is no joke
Nice game, the idea of using different items to get the dog to the car is really fun. I also rated your game, so if you could try out and rate my game that would mean a lot :)
No problem, tried yours and rated it too, good work! Thanks for playing!
cool game but i just found myself spamming treats you should have added added a limit to treats
totally agree! Thanks for playing and for the feedback 😄
Very nice idea! The dog was cute too!
thanks! Wish I could take credit for the art, but I do love it!
I really liked the concept here, and it's really easy to understand what to do since herding an unruly animal is a common challenge. Would be great to see it fleshed out with some more levels!
thanks!
