How does your game represent "Power"?
PugAgainstWavesofEndlessRisks, represents "Power" through its wave-based action where the pug continuously overpowers enemies with unique abilities and upgrades. The concept of increasing strength and dominance is central to the gameplay, aligning with the game's title and theme.
Also the game name is like "Power" but "PAWER", I thought its interesting take

I didn't have high expectations from the thumbnail, but this was actually really well done!

The controls are fantastic - it feels really good to run around, pick the bone and throw it. The enemy wobbling, the vfx and sound - all great. I've finished 14 risks, and the only thing what was missing - some upgrades. If you've added some cool upgrades etc - I can easily imagine myself spending a few hours on this game.

And kudos for godot!

Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, didn't have time for the upgrades, it would be cool tho, yeah.

I like how “to-the-point” this game is. You get into the action right away, it’s easy to understand, and fun to play. A simple idea executed well!

Incredibly cute, curving the bone to hit more enemies is satisfying. I really enjoyed it, it really made me feel like a pug.

Cool game, I just wish there was more reward for getting multi-kills. Like a sound effect or extra points. But it was still a very satisfying game!

there are more points for multi kills though its not properly delegated to the player. Thank you very much for the feedback and for playing!

DeathiplyxSubmitted29 days ago(+1)

Sorry, I didn't realize while playing, it was not clear that I was in fact getting extra points.

This is super cute! Really fun, nice art style, the music was pretty cool, it escalates pretty quickly! By Risk 15 it was a total bullet hell, awesome stuff!

Nice! I really like the boomerang mechanics I think it works well. The difficulty curve also ramps smoothly so you don't feel overwhelmed!
