the art is great, specially the dog it looks really good. The game just lacks SFXs and music but even so, great game! (the dog missing was also a great change of pace)

Art style wise, I love the simplistic pixel art, it's very cute (also I love Tony's design, very cute^2), obviously it's a short game BUT I do wish I could do more with Tony, maybe some other fun minigames with toys and whatnot or like a dog park (some ideas for a fuller developed version of this game). I honestly expected by day 7, Tony was either going to spontaneously combust OR we would have to John Wick our way to save him. Overall, very cute game :D

Yep that's a good base. Dogs are cool too so bonus points. Small tip other than the ones others have pointed out; seems you have some "mixels", which mean you're using different pixel resolutions for different objects. For instance, the player has bigger pixels than the dog which looks kinda weird. It's a small detail but makes all the difference!

Good job on your first jam!

Has a dog

Maybe add some less repetitive mechanics and some audio. The art though is very nice!

I completed all the days! Nice job on your first jam!

i could see this being a really fun game if more added tasks! love the dog animation too

Submitted

Neat game, like the art but the gameplay is lacking and there aren't any sounds, which makes the game feel boring.

Submitted

The idea is pretty cool, although gameplay wise, a bit lacking implementation. The sprites for everything are good though, the game looks good, but absence of music or any sounds is quite noticeable. Solid first try, good game idea, need to polish a bit more and you will have a really enjoyable task management game. Really like the dog.

Very nice dog sprite and animation

This was very cute. I loved when the dog would follow me around on the walks. Great work!

I really liked the pixel art, very good job on that!  However, I feel the gameplay was much too basic to be very fun.  Still, congrats on making your first game jam game!

Thank You! This was my first ever game I made without strictly following a tutorial.
