I did not quite get how the points were calculated, but have chased some ducks!

I think we can both agree that the music wasn't that good, but it was an interesting idea! Well done! :D

I usually don't like to comment negatively on games' presentation, but I was really glad you included the disable sound button. I just couldn't handle that grating noise.

Overall, I think the game mostly felt frustrating. I just tugged until I got free for a few seconds, rinse and repeat. I think it needs more mechanics to be a more engaging game.

Nice work, I loved the art! Not as much of a fan of the sound personally but I really like the concept and the execution was good as well!

I love the positive reinforcement for bad behavior because being a good dog and walking with the owner lowers your score!

This game was so sweet and a lovely interpretation of the theme. A doggo is always a win!

Very creative idea! The balance between the dog and the walker is an interesting mechanic that leaves room to be expanded upon.

Cute game! I found it confusing that the score goes down so much, for a while I thought it was just randomly changing. The sound effects were fine, but you would have been better off without the music.

Good to start with but needs something to change as the game goes on to keep it interesting. And yes my dog is just like this.

Loads of fun! Great for people who don't like to do what they are told! Getting away from the guy was the best part!
