I really like rythm games like this and it was very fun to play. I wish I could also play with the arrow keys.

Noted! I thought about adding control options but wasn't able to make it in time for the jam. Will keep that in mind for a future update.

Really really fun! The sync was perfect and the doggo has really fun expressions, the music was really cool too and also the art style. It has been very charming to me. Are you planning on releasing more of these?? I would love to play them!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much!! I’ve considered expanding it into a full game. It might take a while since I’m on a few other projects, but who knows!

I'm pretty bad at rhyme games but Dog is just so handsome I couldn't resist playing.

Love a rhythm game, I like how you spun the theme in. Visuals were great, maybe was just the browser version but audio would overlap sometimes, 

props for going for a rhythm game, nice job

Developer

Thank you! The browser version can lag a bit sometimes, which causes the audio to overlap. I’ll look into that for a future update. For now, the downloadable version is the best one in terms of performance.

The premise of the game got some chuckles out of me. I loved it! I suck at rhythm games so I missed like half of the notes on the first go lol. It's a simple and solid game. You could try to throw some new and interesting gameplay elements in there but for what it is and what it's trying to be, you definitely nailed it.

Developer

Thank you! I kept things simple for the jam, but I did have some more complex ideas that didn't make the cut. Maybe on a future update!

'Mum, what happens when we die?'

'So there's this dog...'

This was fun, and an absolutely hilarious take on the theme. And the dog god art? Incredible. I have no notes.

Developer

That's exactly how my momma told me when I was little :O

This game was hilarious and guess the benefit of dying is having this dog drop some jams!

Developer

He sure does drop some funky jams!
