I love the intro movie! So much personality and so beautiful... but it makes me not want to play to keep the dog safe! I'm not good enough to prevent that horrifying 'splat' noise. 😱 Great job!
I cant believe you were able to make such gorgeous digital paintings in a short amount of time. I do think it would be a bit nicer to at least sort of keep the warm tone in the game as well (even though it is sorta morbid) because it felt like the beginning frames and gameplay had a weaker connection. Like if the street scene was at least in the day time maybe? But otherwise the game is nice and the artwork is gorgeous!
The opening scene was absolutely amazing, it's impressive what a couple of good hand-drawn frames can provide story wise. The spite animation of the dog and girl was really good too! I only wish the environment of this endless runner was a little more colorful, and a lot less morbid, holy crap XD. Maybe having the dog chasing the squirrel through a park with mud puddles and bees or something? The game turn a dark turn pretty fast there, but very fun and true to the theme. Nice work!
I couldn't agree more. We have some tiles made of a forest but for some reason thought cars were the best fit. If we fix this down the line and have more time, we will put in the forest art. I think the 48 hour grind was giving us goofy ideas. Thank you for playing the game and for the kind comment as well :).

I really enjoyed the art, and the soundtrack isn't too shabby! The game itself is pretty simplistic but gives off a very arcadey feel. Pretty solid.
Really fun game, and a good take on the theme. The art looks really nice
Amazing high level art in this jam!! Gameplay is also funny.
Tiny hint : Cars are harmless to the girl. XD
GREAT art. I like the interpretation of the theme in the gameplay. Good stuff, guys!
This game fits so mutch to the theme. Simple idea, but well made. Whene the dog was hitted with a car for the first time I was so shocked, after that cute intro it really hits me. (Highscore 500). Nice Game
Wonderful art, really sells the game!
Gameplay is fun.
Very Possitive and great game !
Brilliant! This game is astoundingly addictive. Sometimes a simple game really is the best!
Thanks! We worked very hard and the positve comment means a lot.
