Really charming game! The art was really great, and the sounds were neat too. I think the idea of losing power as you move is misplaced though, I would recommend flipping it and making it so you gain power as you stand still, because as it is now it feels like I'm being punished for doing something that I HAVE to do. I think fixing that would also fix a few of the level design issues too. In the end it's a really good game though, good job!

Nice stuff!  The walk to the end was a little on the long side, but I appreciated the tension of hoping I was going the right way :D  Very cool song too!

Fun simple game. Cute art, and everything functions well. I restored the 4 cores and was expecting another video but nothing really happened, was not sure if their was an ending aside from this. Took me about 15 minuets Well done!

Did you try the path to the right? *wink wink* Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed it!

:D missed it.

The presentation was quite good, but the level design was lacking in some major ways

Really cute art! I missed some staff to bark at in the labyrinth at the bottom.

Haha thanks! I did that intentionally, I tried to make some variation in the challenges for the power cores. 1 is all combat, 1 is all navigation, and 1 is a mix of both. But I agree, in a more fleshed-out version perhaps I would have some doors or something that would unlock when you bark at them in the maze

Having a video before the game is a cool touch, though I think for making it comfortable adding the ability to skip would be nice

Otherwise good job!

Thanks! 

There is a 'Skip Intro' setting in the options, which will skip the beginning cutscene and go right into the gameplay if you have already seen it. It can be toggled on from the options menu, which is on the main menu and pause screens.
