How does your game fit the theme?
Our game is about a very long dachshund with a passion to sniff their bottom in order to finish an agility course! By ending each stage with the dachshund's head meeting it's tail, we create an adorable loop, as is the theme of this year's jam

Sniffing my own hound rear to win... what a life <3
Enjoyable little game thanks for sharing on stream!
Adorable wiener dogs. Loved the concept.
Aww the dog is so cute!! I really like the style and gameplay. Lots of great details, like the tail wagging animation on the level victory screen, the camera zoom out so you can see your whole route, and dog customization. Excellent job!
good job!
What a funny little game. Nice art as well. Absolutely smashes the creativity and enjoyment scale... WELL DONE
This is such an adorable game!
This was great! What a fun idea to mix something almost like Snake but with objectives, a racing timer and the goal to complete the loop. Love it! It definitely took some getting used to the delay/timing of registering inputs on the grid properly. But I still had a great time!
Wowzers. I like a lot of stuff from this game wow. First is nice cute spin on ouroboros xd. I liked that you allocated some time and made it possible to have some self expression with the doggy colors. Arts were very cute.
2 things i kinda didn't like:
1 is input latency (but as i understood it is only a problem on browser)
2 not sure whether it would be better to just be able to straight up restart the game as soon as you failed the time, because playing after this felt like a chore, but i most likely just not seeing something. Would be cool if you could explain the idea behind it
Thanks for playing and for your feedback!
1. unfortunately some people are experiencing input latency, that's just part of the surprises you get with WebGL especially in game jams, in the windows build this doesn't seem to happen
2. we decided not to reset the game when going over the qualification time mainly to let the player experiment with the mechanics, either for practicing a route or just jumping around haha, we had a couple of playtests where the player wanted to try and fill the grid with the doggo :D
Adorable take on a snake-like! good stuff!
Realy cute and nice game. I love the idee that you have to return to the end of the tail.
really cute game! i love that you can name the dog, i like the art style and the way the story fits into the gameplay
the stun from being hit feels a bit too long, and it's kina hard to judge when you need to jump sometimes
also there is a bug where if you restart at the right movement you get to go before the time starts
good job!
Super adorable and a good amount of variety! Love all the little touches like the wagging tail in the back. Really well made game!
A cute and fun lil game with a simple premise that's executed well!
Ah I love this! The art is so adorable and I love the setting of the dogshow too, its like the perfect low stakes competition haha. The take on the theme was really cool, having to make it back to your tail gives a bit of strategy to planning your route through the map and the timing of the jumps was right in the difficulty sweet spot where I found them really engaging.
Just a great entry, thank you for making it!
p.s. I would die for the dog
Such a cute game with a really interesting mechanic! The grid on the grass is a great idea, it honestly saves you in tricky moments. And the dog is absolutely adorable!
I watched this game on stream and had to try it myself — it’s so silly yet surprisingly creative. The UX is well thought out and really helps guide the player, making it easy to jump in and enjoy the chaos. Super charming and fun experience!
i adored this game, loved the art, was intuitive to play, and a great take on the theme! awesome stuff!
Love the art. Controls took a bit to get used to but I really enjoyed it!
Really cool take on the theme. I also appreciated the use of the "mowed grass" to visualize the movement grid.
