This is an interesting one. The art looks really good, sound is nice. There's a song too damn that must be a first I've seen in a jam game. The concept is interesting, but sadly it's a tat bit too short to fully realise it. It ended even before I understood what was going on. The dialogue is really funny and I had some laughs reading it, though they are in a really awkward position, and for some reason it's hard to read. Maybe it's being too quick to disappear after a quick text, and the lack of text-spawning animations. But overall, I think this is really nice and unique, well done.
Other things I like:
- The pixel art again looks so good
- The game mechanic is really unique, and I love the fact that you can *destroy* a duck when being very hydrated
- The dog bouncing off in the intro cutscene is super hilarious
Suggestions:
- The pawprint storyline is a bit strange and I don't think I totally get it, it's a bit too easy to accomblished too as a game. Would definitely need some buildup and explanations in the game
- Water seems a bit underused, and it's 100% possible to complete the game without drinking water once you get them all out of the dog. Would definitely love to see some puzzles require the dog to be very hydrated/hydrated
- Softlock needs fixing, where you can be stuck if you skipped the 1st or the 2nd pawprint and directly goes to the 3rd
