Originally this was supposed to be a puzzle game, so having a dog sit and stay on a button or avoid spikes would have been quintessential to the overall level design. But then we ran into some snags during development and had to abandon almost all of that. The Stay! mechanic is a vestige of that older design that we decided to keep for posterity. Thank you for such salient game design critiques!
Thank you very much for playing our game! Your feedback is definitely fair and we'll be retooling the game design post-jam to address the intuitiveness and engagement of the mechanics.
I'm elated to see that so many people liked the concept of our game, and I can say for certain that we'll be retooling the game design post-jam so the mechanics are more engaging and intuitive :)
I'm happy to hear that you liked the game's concept! Me thinks we'll be retooling the game design a wee bit post-jam so the mechanics and tutorial are clearer
In the original concept you could only weaken the enemies as the little dogs, and then you'd finish them off as Cerberus who couldn't damage enemies without them being weakened. Needless to say, we didn't make it that far in development, so you're super right in that there's no real reason to rejoin other than to get to the next level. Thank you for playing our game!
I'm glad that you liked the concept! I think the team will be retooling the concept post-jam so the mechanics are more clear and the levels more engaging :)
It was a pleasure having you on stream the other day! With all this supportive feedback that we've been receiving, I think we'll retool this concept and let the game really shine :)
Originally this was supposed to be a grid-based puzzle game, if you can believe that! So the Stay! was kind of a vestige of that old concept. Thank you very much for your kind words :)
