The game looks very impressive. The Martian wasteland has lots of big rocks to climb and flat areas to sprint. While it doesn’t have any sort of quest, I don’t think it necessarily needs one. If the jumps felt less tethered and there were variation in the height based off the physics of the jump I could see myself spending time trying to get bigger and bigger jumps.

This would be really fun if there were quests! It would be cool to learn more about this dog and what he's suppose to do. Great job!

Harvest HavenThis is actually one of the best looking games of the jam. Unfortunately, while it is simple, there really isn't much of a core gameplay mechanic - there is no challenge of any kind, you just exist and wander. Unless I missed the objective. Game feel could be improved considerably: tweak the speeds compared to the animations, add some dust particles when I run, add some audio and ambient music or wind or something, tighten that jumping because it feels like I float like a feather on the way up, and crash like a rock on the way down. Great work on the terrain and on getting the dog working and climbing!
A simple dog walking simulator. I like that you implement Feet IK for the dog. But sometimes i can even walk up a cliff which is too steep, I feel like a spider dog. Good start to a animal walking sim game like the First Tree.

LumberjackDog! on Mars!
Really missed opportunity not giving the doggo a round fish tank on his head.
Not sure if I was ment to find my master, or just run a round like black labs do (probably just that), but I am sure, that this extraterrestrial doggo was the bestest boy right until he fell of the face of the flat Mars into the vast void of ifinity.
