Cute little game. A great tribute to your dog. 

Developer

Thanks for playing my game. He was a great dog, so he deserved a great tribute :D

Really sorry for your loss!I loved the game so much,would love to see more of it if you have plans of developing it further,only that the controls were a bit hard to get used to...but really a well fitting game for the theme!Well done and RIP Sonni.

Thanks for your kind words. Besides some bug fixes, I don't think I will do anything more with the game after the jam. I have another game I am working on. The controls can be a little too funky sometimes. Again thanks for your kind words and for playing my game.

Good take on the theme, not necessarily 100% original because it does the same thing than the goose game, but with a dog. While the art is not yours, it is well integrated and used. My only grip is with the music who loop to quickly, so it become rapidly annoying (luckily we can close it). Try to take more tune and string it, or just a longer one, that definitely help. Didn't found any bug, so it is well coded, but I would made the control from the perspective of the  camera instead of the dog, it really make the control feel clunky.

Other than that, I really liked the humor! And being a dog owner, I really appreciated your homage to your own dog. Good job on your 48 hours !

Developer

I am glad to hear that you like the humor :) I often find music in games annoying after some time which is why I always try to have a mute option. I don't want the controls to be perfect, but right now, they are a little too clunky sometimes. Thanks for playing and for your comment :)

Submitted

Sorry to hear about your dog :(((( This is a fun game though, and I'm happy your dog will live on in memory in this game :)

Developer

Thanks for your very kind words and for playing my game. I am glad you think it is fun. Your comment is much appreciated!

very cool and enjoyable game , the task was funny ( specially the remote tv :D ) very colorful and pretty art -Ivory-

Developer

Thanks for taking the time to play my game and to write a comment.

Submitted

poor doggo. 

I managed to get the first 3 tasks but didn't know how to trigger the rest

Developer

Thanks for playing. Maybe it was a bug that made you unable to complete a task, or perhaps I just didn't make it clear what to do. No matter what, I appreciate you taking the time to play and write a comment.

Submitted

I jumped all over the computer and games console and tv remote and they didn't do anything unless that's not the solution

Submitted

This is a really sweet way to remember your dog, and I like that you were able to incorporate that into the jam theme this year. The controls are a bit tough to manage, but with some more tuning, this would be a really fun game to just sink some time into running around causing mayhem. Nice job!

Developer(+1)

I am pleased I managed to submit a game. I was very close to just skipping this year. Yes, the controls can be a little tough sometimes. I had hoped to fix it before submitting but ended up not having time. Thanks for playing and writing a comment. It is much appreciated :)

Submitted(+1)

Of course! It was cool to play and I'd love to play again if you decide to do any updates. We'd love to get your feedback on our game as well, if you haven't already. SpaceBus

Very charming art and the tasks were really funny! Sorry for your dog.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. I appreciate you taking the time to write a nice comment. Thanks :)

Submitted

Im sorry about your dog, but his presence is known to so many people now, RIP sonni.  This game is really fun and I would play a lot more levels of this! There are some obvious issues in terms of the dog's head going through walls and stuff but this is the kind of game where that stuff almost adds to the charm and humour of it. The set dressing/level design is really nice and the game was an overall good time! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your kind words; it means a lot! I am glad you had fun with the game. The collisions could use some work when the jam is over. Thanks for playing and for your comment.

Submitted

Fun game, the music and the art are well fitted, a little bit buggy tho but that's nothing annoying :) Good game !

Developer

Thanks for playing my game. There are some bugs with movement and collision I would have liked to fix, but unfortunately, I did not have the time. I am glad they are not too annoying :)

Submitted

Fun! like an "untitled dog game".  Though I know you said the asset's weren't made for the jam, the level was laid out nicely and I know the effort that takes.  Good job, and good dog!

Submitted

Sorry for your loss. A fantastic game in all regards. 

Developer

Thanks for playing and for your kind words. It means a lot to hear.

Submitted

Oh man I didn't expect to see a Gooselike in this jam but I love everything you've done here! Lots of nice subtle little touches (like that the video game the dog plays is the video game you're currently playing). Great job! And RIP Sonni. Good dog.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. I am glad that you liked the game. You are the first person I know off who have noticed that the dog is also playing "Dog Home Alone"

Submitted

Love the idea of this! The dog was at times frustratingly out of control, but I guess that does fit the theme!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. The controls can be a little too much sometimes. I would have liked them a little less slippery but was running out of time. I still want the dog to feel a little out of control, but sometimes it gets a bit too much.

Submitted

Nice job! It's a very sweet and cute game with the dog and I enjoyed the relaxing gameplay. Well done! :D

Developer

Thank you very much for playing and I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the game :)

Submitted

Why would we play duck simulator when we have this, awesome game, sorry about your dog

Developer

I am glad you liked the game. Thanks for your nice words, they mean a lot.

Submitted

Extremely fun and charming game. Very slidey and a little chaotic. The art used was adorable and I could easily tell what everything was and what I was supposed to do.

Very simple, very fun, and just a little janky on the jumping and collisions. Good job

Developer

Thanks for your lovely comment. The movement was meant to be a little chaotic, so I am glad to hear it worked as planned. The jump and collisions needs some improvement and were the main thing I regretted not having time to fix. Again thanks for your kind comment and for playing.

Submitted

Pretty nice game! I think it's really original, I love the visual art. It was very fun! Keep creating games!

Developer

Thanks for playing and for your comment. I am glad that you like the game. I have no plans on stopping making games any time soon :)

Submitted

Wow this was super well made!  I really like the 3D artwork and out of control movement.!  This idea is clever, you should keep working on it!  Great job submitting to the jam, and I hope you learned a lot of new things!  If you have time, please check out my entry :D

Developer

Thanks for playing. It is great to hear that you liked the game. I will check out your game tomorrow.
