Very creative! I wish controls were a little bit snappier but that may be just me being bad at platforming :P Also, loved the dog!!

Developer

Happy to hear you enjoyed it :)

And yeah the game was rushed so the controls are a bit finicky, planning on fixing it in a future update though 

Submitted

Nice concept and music :D

A little bit too short but it was a good experience!

Well done!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you, I appreciate that :)

Submitted

Love the idea of having the blackout room to navigate, though the jumping felt a little off to me, I regularly found myself hitting the jump button first and then directing myself in the air which took some getting used to. but otherwise great job!

Developer

Really happy to hear that :)

And I am definitely planning on fixing the jump glitch in a future update for sure 

Submitted

short but sweet! a little bit rough when I do a bad job at remembering the layout of a level and then am fumbling in the dark -- maybe dying should have shown you the level again (then you "forget" the level and have to prove you remembered it).

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it :)

I’ve gotten this critique a lot so I’m thinking when I expand upon the game after the jam of adding a hint feature after the player fails the level 5 times or so

Submitted

Very unique concept and implementation of the theme! Controls well, graphics are cute, narrative is silly and charming. Only wish there was more levels!

Developer

Happy to hear that :)

Planning on adding more after the jam period ends

Submitted

Really interesting mechanic of having to remember the level :D
ruff ruff!!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it :)

Submitted

What a cute pupper! I like your music :) A few more levels would've been nice but better too short than overstaying its welcome.

Developer

Really glad you liked it :)

And yeah I also think with a more expanded upon game the more levels would work better than just repetition of a relatively simple mechanic 

Submitted

Short and sweet. Only issue I have is the jump button seems to have a delay but maybe that's must my keyboard.

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked it :)

And yeah I noticed the jump button glitch as well

Planning on fixing it in a future update after the rating period ends

very cute and fun game, i get why it's not that many levels, but i enjoyed it. i was surprised by the loop mechanic of making everything black and found myself relying on the music cues to jump! look fwd to more :D

Developer

Really glad you enjoyed it

The music cues is actually something unintentional, but I do find it interesting how that works?

Submitted

I like cutie dog and gameplay so simple to play for me. 

If possible, can you please rate my game and leave a comment too.

Developer

Really glad you liked it, 

I’ll be sure to check out yours as well :)

Submitted

Such a sweet concept <3 got me feeling maternal for a fake dog! GOOD GAME!

Developer (1 edit)

Really glad you liked it,

Derrick fr do be a little guy

Submitted

Nice! The dog is very cute. Could've done with a couple more levels, but overall was a creative concept and enjoyed the levels I did play. Made me realise how bad my memory is 😆

Developer

I’m glad you liked it, this one was kinda rushed but I’m definitely planning on expanding upon the idea in the future 

Submitted

I really liked the art is so good and Derrick is soooooo cute (what was I going to say OH). The audio is crisp and sounds really good and the platforming fits the game GOOD JOB

Developer

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it :)

Submitted

Cute, short game — clever way to implement the concept.

Developer

Appreciate it :)

Submitted

Have already commented on page, but this was great, highly recommended to try it :)

Developer

I’m glad you liked it :)

Submitted

This is a nice Short game, I would enjoy the game more if the Jump is more responsive.

Developer

Yeah it was a bit rushed as I didn’t have time for the whole jam, so it’s a tad buggy. Really glad you liked it though.

Submitted

Good job! Very interesting game! 

Developer

Appreciate it :)

Submitted

Loved it, already commented on the main game like 6 hours ago but i'll just add a comment on the submission too.

Developer

Appreciate the support 🙏

given how bad I am at platformers no chance I beat all the levels but fun concept

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it :)

Submitted

GIVE ME MORE LEVELS! Oh sorry got a heated there.

Developer

Lmao, I am planning on it after rating period ends
