Very interesting idea! I included it in my Nordic Game Jam Online compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

The best thing in this game is art. You choose the right art direction and the sprites look pretty. I like the atmosphere a lot.
For 2D platformer it's really important to get the character movement right. Unfortunatelly controling the dog in your game is often times really frustrating. The level design is really boring for most of the time. It's nice that you can play in the browser but the framerate is just not acceptable.
Really cool realization. I liked the atmosphere and the variety of the level parts :)
The art is so pretty! And the boss fight music is pretty dope too XD
I'm a sucker for games about dogs. Lovely art, very nice game you've made.
I always missed the rockets at the end, but was really fun to play this game. The art and music was really nice :)
Awesome game you and your girlfriend made there! Really enjoyed playing it :)
I love this concept and art, I just suck at games so I couldn't play too much of it without "dying", haha. I really appreciated the "tutorial" for that reason, too! I will train my hand-eye coordination and come back to this game. The sound was also good. :) For a first game, you guys did phenomenal work!
Thanks for the kind words! We were going for the "Most Intense" category so I completely understand if you find it too difficult to play. I've made a video so everyone can enjoy the full game :)

i like the game art and concept but the hitboxs are sometimes really frustrating :)
Really loved playing this Game <3 ... loved how the dog sniffs and it shows the direction...
Very traditional platform game most of the time. What really stands out is the graphics. It's just beautiful. Feels like a lot more could have been done with this art.
