In what way does your game fit the theme?
The game is centered around a boy who forms a bond with a neighbor's dog.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
WASD or Arrows to move (and to play pong! score goes to 10)
F to interact
If pong breaks, move to the blue bar and hit escape!
Don't look through your window on the day after the black and white scene, the game will stop there.
Thanks for playing!

Wow very interesting game, I did not expect that at all, I had a good time and enjoyed the cute little animations! :D For some reason, I was convinced there was going to be a jump scare or a twist in the story that the dog was a killer or something, but in general this was super unique and awesome :) You can tell you guys put loads of effort into this game, fantastic work!
lol, we giggled about a plot twist easter, but time kicked our butts. Thanks for the kind words. Glad you had fun playing.
I see a dog, i play (:
I find it really relaxing.
I did not expect pong to be in there silly me :P I really love the stroy!
Nice Game, I love the story and played twice
Nice isometric idea! I started with it to in the first place. Also appearing dialogue box is very lovely and smooth
Good job so far!
Nice and cute short story, pong was just a little busted where I could move my board forward and the ball flew with Mach 5 speed. Other than than, love the simplicity.
Moving the paddle in all directions was our new take on Pong. We thought it added some excitement. The ball going bezerk out of the bounds was not intentional and an unfortunate side-effect we didn't have time to resolve. Thanks for playing!
Loved the art of the boy and the dog. I glitched the ball into infinity upwards and the dog shot of the screen to fetch it, he was a good boy but never seen again XD
Thanks for playing! Yes the pong bug is something we would've liked to resolve by submission, but alas it's a game jam after all.. :)
Whoa you are a good artist. What a cute doggo.
I love that you took the pong idea and transformed it into something different, adding your own spin on it. Great job! I do think that the ball for pong moves a tad bit slow, but overall awesome job!
Did you move the paddle forward to smash the ball at light speed? Thanks for playing!
good game
I enjoyed the music and art. cute short game!
Such a cute game, love the art!
I love the touching story and the beautiful artwork! Great game, you did an awesome job :)
thank you so much :3
I had some problems with pong controls at the beggining because I didn't realize you can move the bar right and left too and I almost gave up. But then I keep playing sn I liked this simple but effective story. Well done.
Very cute! I loved the comic art and the music was sooo chill! But, somehow, two games in a row, I got the ball stuck up at the top... so the dog and I just sat staring at each other while the ball rolled back and forth between us xD there should maybe be a slight amount of gravity on the ball or a "bounce" mechanism off the top and bottom walls (sorry for the clumsy language - I'm really new at coding and haven't made a pong game before lol so I don't know what would need to be tweaked exactly).
All in all, I really enjoyed playing!
The ending was great, I cried when I saw those people standing outside. And suddenly... (not going to spoil it for others, they'll have to play it). Great short story :) They were definitely stronger together!
aww! thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it <3
I love the music. It's so peaceful and really fits the game.
This may be the best story game in the whole jam. 5/5
