How does your game fit the theme?
The game captures this theme through its two phases: the first phase represents calm, as you help the dog meditate by minimizing distractions like frisbee players, BBQs, and party-goers. The second phase—the storm—introduces rapid, more intense distractions, challenging you to keep the dog serene under pressure.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, this game was created by Heribert, Izmir, Sani, and Ava. Heribert and Izmir handled the programming and game mechanics, Sani crafted the sound design, and Ava created the art.

Very neat little game, with very nice graphics. You could maybe have made it a little easier, but otherwise great. The minigames were fun

I honestly really love the art of this game, it's so unique while all of it being consistent. my only major gripe is in the eye minigame there was no indication where the poop was going to fall from and it fell to fast to move away when you see it.

I like the concept of this game, but unfortunately I think the wait times between certain parts is a bit too long, and the controls and hitbox for the frisbee minigame could use improvement. Really like the graphics and the music, and I think the ambient sound design could probably use a bit more variance. Overall a neat experience!

Great game! Very unique and memorable! Well done!

Not sure if a bug or very good RNG but on my 3rd play I had nothing happen after the first car in the storm phase. About 20+ sec of nothing.

The art is really cool, I especially love the look of the dog when he's annoyed by something. The music fits the zen vibe.

Constructive feedback:

- The minigames were nice, but I wish they got progressively harder as you played further. I didn't notice any difference between Round 1 and Round 5.

- In the thought-cloud eye minigame, sometimes the cars and poo wouldn't spawn at all. I think this was supposed to be "the storm", but it's not that hectic.

- The loading times between scenes were really long, several seconds, despite the game being simple and minimalistic.

Overall I liked the game, the vibe and the ideas though!

Different game idea on the theme. Was calming :)

very cool art but gameplay needs more audio visual feedback. I don't know what can be clicked and if I am doing anything by clicking

love the art direction

I really enjoyed the vibe. I've said it before for other dog games - I see dog, I click dog. Great work! Congrats and good luck!

Everything about this game is adorable. Love the art style, reminds me a lot of Venba

Submitted(+1)

aesthetically pleasing to watch but the controls are poor in indications as to what do, I stood there trying to figure out how to play the mini games and by then it was already over and I had lost

Submitted(+1)

Good idea and artwork, I wish there were more mini-games to play a bit more!

Relaxing vibez!!! Nice! :)

It has really nice art and atmosphere. It would have helped to have more controls displays on screen, as you have to use sometimes the mouse and sometimes the keyboard. Nice doggo!

Submitted(+1)

Very relaxing! I'm not sure what was going on with the eye at the end of the round? Maybe on-screen controls/directions could help. Also a freeze-frame before minigames with directions would help (though I figured it out pretty quickly). Great game!
