No dog were harmed during the creation of this game... but after a few games I reconsidered.

Fun idea, well executed

Developer

Thank you!

If only people knew what's behind this... brrrr!

I liked this! I got a 220 something, I like that I had to work against the doggo that wanted to chomp zombies, I feel like that added a layer of complexity that helped make the game feel fun & challenging. In playing, I found that at some points it was beneficial for me to go backwards & do a turn to help pull the doggo away & get past the zomboes. I enjoyed it a lot :)
If you could stop by and rate ours as well, we'd appreciate it!

Thank you for your comment.
I'll go get drunk (yes, this is a pre-requisite) and then check out your game! :D

It was a cute idea! My score was 221, I played really bad at first, but then got more or less the hang of it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!
Izzo, one of my teammate, made a whopping score of 306, with pic to prove it and no cheat (that I'm aware of).
Do you dare to beat him out from podium? :P

The theme is cute! The strategy was a little unclear -- I couldn't figure out if there was a way to control the dog, since they have a large aggro radius, and then they hold you back and you get bitten, so I couldn't figure out a way to keep going without at least some luck.

Developer

Thank you!
This is interesting: you are not supposed to control the dog directly, but it might be misleading as it happened for you.
Yes, a bit of luck and a bit of skills are required, that's kinda the point of every endless runner isn't it?
I hope I find the time to implement all the ideas we had during the jam later.

Funny concept, nice presentation. A bug here in there but really really impressive for 48 hours. score was 269

Developer

Thank you for your comment.
Only one bug here and there?
That's better than I thought! :D

Nice, like a cuter I am legend haha. I enjoyed the music and sound effects, not to mention this is a pretty accurate summary of what it's like to walk an overly friendly dog. 

Developer

Thank you!
Our artist appreciate your comments.
After the jam I'll make a new version with all the missing SFX and the right mixing.

The game is a fun idea and is pretty fun, however I can see it getting stale really quick as the only thing that seems to change as you go on is the amount of zombies.  Fun idea though

Thank you.
Yes, unfortunately we spent most of the time on boring stuff like... make it work.
After the jam we'll make a Director's Cut with all the ideas we come up during the jam.

I got 229. Really challenging game. I had some diffuculty with my dog being stuck behind sandbags. Overall this game is a good representation of this Jams theme.

Developer

Thank you!
