Great game for this theme! A little difficult trying to control both puppers but its was fun none the less. Great art and sounds. Well done Foozle!

Oh the massacre!!!! So many dead kitties...

Very fun game! Love the theme and the challenge. I'm going to have to get the wife to help control one because my brain struggled so hard to guide these dogs at the same time. The amount of kitten blood left on the field is unfathomable. 

The controls felt good and the level design was laid out well.  There were  many features I appreciated especially in a game jam setting. The cats following and sometimes getting lost along the way, the blood and the sound design were all well executed. Super fun to play! Great job Foozle.

I really enjoyed this game, nailed the theme and the game was just overall really fun, Thia would also make a very fun multiplayer game.

It fun to play, but very hard to control both dogs and to keep track of all the cats at the same time. Good job on the game!

Really fun idea! Very chaotic. I wish the screen was a little less cluttered-- trying to control both dogs at once, while keeping track of where the cats are, and which dog they need to go to, along with all the pumpkin targets all over the screen, it can get overwhelming.  Maybe there could be higher contrast between the gameplay important stuff and the other details?

This would definitely be fun to play with a friend.

I liked your use of theme as well as since I saw the dev log on discord how it turned from a game about particles to cats and dogs.

I wish that maybe this was a more level-based game so you start just needing to herd a couple cats and then ramp up the challenge. But I also know endless style games are sometimes easier for game jams. Especially when on a dead line!

Nice use of theme and fun game.


Nice job!

thanks for playing! Was certainly a different game from where it started on the discord lol.  Wish I had some more time to do some build up levels but real life kept the scope limited.  Cheers!

this game was both hilarious and fun,  I had a blast playing! unfortunately i did have issues with the cat AI, was frustrating at times, when he wouldn't follow me, but it didn't take me away from the entire experience, great job

thanks for playing! One thing for the AI likely not realizes is that all those the same color also repelled each other… so the black dog scatters black cats away who are chasing the white dog.  It’s all just a sum of the forces of every other “charge”.  Cheers!

This game is hilarious especially if you play it with someone else together. We got a highscore of 34! It could use a bit more polish but it was a lot of fun!

Developer

nice high score! Yeah the polish was certainly not really focused on.  But wanted to at least submit it :) cheers

This game was a little chaotic which ade it a little fun. But the cat AI was so janky that it wouldn't follow the dog it was supposed to follow which made the game frusterating. 

The concept is good and I could see this turning into a fine little mobile game.

Developer

Thanks for the play! The cat AI is a bit goofy but one thing which may not be realized by people is that the opposite colors also REPEL each other… so the black dog while scatter all the black cats chasing the white dog.  Cheers
