Guess who's a good boy? Yes, you are, Groggo!

On a more serious note, it would have been nice to have more control over the leash. The way it feels now, I can't contribute much to where Groggo gets to. The only option I managed to figured out is to use myself as bait to get Groggo away from people.

Developer

You have to press space to pull groggo towards you, otherwise the leash has no effec, txs for the comment anyway tho

Well I'm an idiot. Thanks for telling me. The game makes a lot more sense now. :)

Developer

well I could've done more to make sure people check the tutorial

Submitted(+1)

It's hard, but has interesting concept! I like the way you made the tutorial😂

Developer(+1)

I mean... I threw the tutorial together at the last minute…

Submitted

Nice concept, fits the theme perfectly ! Also, is it just me or is this super hard ? ^^'

Developer

Everybody says it's super hard lmao

Submitted

Pretty fun. Kind've hard but I discovered a couple good strategies. I also noticed the timer doesn't reset when you die so it just builds up the more you play which is pretty unfortunate for seeing how good you are actually doing. Good idea and good execution!

Developer

Txs a lot! about the timer, read the desc...

Submitted

Oh I didn't see that. Still a fun game!

Submitted

Very fun, if perhaps a little difficult.  What a naughty doggo...

Developer(+1)

yep, hard to keep the difficulty in check during a jam...

Submitted

Really interesting, surprising you made it so fast!

Developer(+1)

Did it fast but i barely managed to submit in time lmao

Submitted

Man, Groggo is naughty! I'm so bad with dogs apparently... :(
Good job!

Developer(+1)

I mean i also would be bad with dogs if said dogs tried to kill everything they saw move…

Submitted

wow this game looks and plays very good, simple yet effective concept very well implemented!

Developer

txs! it's amazing how a simple colorpallette change can improve the look of a game, simply changing the background from gray to green made all the difference for the looks of the game.

A goofy game with a fun mechanic, love to see it hahah Seriously though, good job on the implementation, it's fairly basic, but can certainly be expanded to add events  or maybe a periodic ability to yell and scare people. That is if you wanted to make a post-jam version with the functioning timer and all some extra tidbits.

Good job!

Developer

txs! i actually am planning on making a post-jam version with the rough edges smoothed a bit 

Submitted

Very cool concept! Groggo is such a nasty boi. Very hard to last more than a minute! Great job

Developer

txs! groggo is quite nasty...

Submitted

the game doesnt load for me. i just see a black screen even after a few refreshes.
i use chrome.

Developer

yea... this has already happened with my other games, maybe it's something with the Godot engine

Submitted

Sorry to hear about the timer bud, good game!

Developer

rip timer...

txs for the feedback tho :)

Is it ok the fact that the seconds I survived don't reset every time I die but instead they stack? Despite of that, really cool idea and execution!

Developer

yea about the timer... red the description of the game
