- Good doogggooo! Very cute art and themes, more hints for casual people would be nice <3
- This is a very charming game with a dark tone which I love. What a cute lil' limb retriever! The game is overall well polished and well scoped and the art is perfect. I would have loved to see more animated elements and some work put into post processing and smoothing the camera. The gameplay is entertaining, I'd love to see some more depth to the mechanics. The GDD shows solid planning and organisation. My main criticism is that it doesn't do much work exploring the jam's theme. The theme should be a central point of the game to get points in this category rather than loosely tied to the lore.

Great vibes, really pretty graphics. I got stuck finding a cutting tool(
A very somber story about a dog who wants to hear his masters final words.
Not sure why the master couldn't have written them in either of the 2 letters he wrote for the dog but that would have ruined the point of the game haha!
The pixel art is fantastic throughout I really enjoyed how the game looked. The body parts were a bit difficult to tell apart but once I figured it out it wasn't a huge issue.
Audio was a little stale with just the same BG music repeating over and over and with no SFX. Not a huge issue though.
The gameplay was simple but progressed well. I liked having to get the final words of the other 2 people to unlock the required items to finish the game and speak hear the masters final words.
I'm not sure if I missed something after hearing them but nothing seemed to happen to end the game so I assume you just ran outta time.
Overall a somber and sometimes witty little story with some really nice pixel art that I enjoyed :)
Delightful little game! Great atmosphere and I was not expecting that ending after rebuilding bodies haha. Very sweet, nicely done!
Nice really liked the atmosphere of the game and the art style!
Goodest of games. I loved Aurus, and the art style so much. The ending was an emotional nuclear blast. Wonderful job 🌼

Love the art style you've got going on, I couldn't quite find my way to all of the items I needed to find after 5-10 minutes of running around. Would love to see this game to the end and witness the shadow elements of the jam.
