It’s a pity this wasn’t finished, this looks very promising! Nice art and sound, and the theme was completely on point… but there wasn’t really much to do. I have no idea how to pick up the object or have the human get it, so I assume it wasn’t implemented. Good work with what you managed to get out :)

Thank you for the feedback! I agree there was a lack of things to do, and not a lot of level to explore at the moment. The plan is to come back and work on this game some more in the next month. I signed up for back to back game jams so I had to start working on the MVM jam as soon as this one ended :)

Nice mechanic, it fits the theme very well. The art style is simple but ok and the music is chilling. But why does the map just end at some point? It has more potetial than that... but nice idea and nice game.

Developer

Thank you! The map just ends because I was unable to finish the game in the time limit. I do plan to come back and work on this game more next month after I finish competing in the MVM game jam that started when this jam ended :)

This is a great concept, I would love to see it further developed! The atmosphere is really great, and even if your game is not finished, the sense of bond between dog and owner is really apparent. It has a lot of potential as a narrative game, great job!

Developer

I appreciate your feedback! The plan is to keep working on this game after the next month :)

 I signed up for another game jam right after this one ended,  so I don't have a lot of time to work on this project at the moment.

The soundtrack is awesome <3

Curious to see what it could become if you finish it, the gameplay idea is nice :)

Thanks! I had a lot of fun making this game :)

I am planning to finish this game soon, probably after I finish the MVM game jame this month!

Jumped down the cliff, then read that you was not able to finish it. Actually this is a nice idea. l would really want to see the full game if you want to finish it! Finding stuff the guy dropped is a nice mechanic. In the game, i could not do anything with it yet, but i would want to see the game getting finished or at least more to the level :)

Just work with the mechanics you already have and not add to many more, the game is already on a good way!

Thank you! I am planning to revisit this game in the next couple months to improve it and make a full game. Hopefully I can make it more fun :)

Nice lofi vibes, cute guide dog, and neat hidden elements to find! The controls tutorial was also helpful.

The one thing that had me wondering was what to do when I reached the edge… Dog ended up going straight off but no matter how that happened, the human didn’t go with her……so I ended up stopping there but there’s definitely potential!

Curious to see if there’s anything beyond the straight-line experience or how obstacles would come into play here :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I didn't end up having enough time to make a full game, so there isn't anything past the edge for now. I think I am going to expand on this idea and try to make a full game though!

looks fun and it's on theme but i don't know what to do!

Developer

Thank you, I need to work on making the objectives more clear!
