It seems like the crank controls are a little sensitive, it kept honking my poop trombone without me pressing any buttons or cranking the crank. Couldn't tell how to activate d-pad/A button control scheme.
Personally I'd say have the dog jump a little higher and only allow the jump if its feet actually touch the platform, it felt a little unpredictable to basically aim for hitting the platform with the dog's torso lol
Anyway it's doodle jump with a poodle! Does exactly what it sets out to do
