I'm enjoying the heck out of this (picked it up in the Ukraine bundle) and I found the premise adorable. Did notice a bug with my very first play through, though. The party I picked at random was Husky, Corgi, Pug, when my Husky and Corgi were defeated their health icons changed to Pug (0), which is a cosmetic bug and so no big deal. However, after soldiering on for a few levels more with my lone pug, I was fighting the second boss when I finally lost my last hp and I didn't get the game over I should have. It just made a ping sound and then respawned me with 1 hp. This happened over and over again and I quit playing because if defeat is impossible then victory is meaningless!
Feels like a mash-up of NES classics like Ghosts 'n Goblins and Silver Surfer (and the Zelda influence in the graphics is hard to miss) but much more forgiving than either and thus more fun. Love that dog music!
(A long time ago and under a different name I made what could be the direct turn-based RPG equivalent of this game. It is much wordier, and equally but differently silly. You might like it. It's free.)

Thank you for the tip on the bug! There's a chance I'll go back and soup up this game into something bigger in the future, and I'll have to tackle as many of these issues as I can.
I'm really glad you liked the game <3 And Doge Saga looks really cool! I missed Swap In The Middle but I was around on RMN at the time, and I remember thinking it was really cool idea for an event, and it looks like some cool stuff came out of it :D
