First of all, I’m quite impressed with the art in this game, the characters look great and the audio design makes the mechanics feel good.
I do have a few points of feedback:
The regain control mechanic seems to either just waste some time if you’re away from enemies or is a death sentence if you’re near them. Furthermore binding it to ‘J’ (instead of space which was already used earlier in the game for the menu) makes for some akward hand placement.
At first I figured being spotted means game over, so I was very careful, but when I saw how slow the guards actually were I was able to pretty much run past them quite often.
What I think you have going for you with this concept is the distractability of the protagonist as well as the barking with specific objects, I think you should focus on making those mechanics much more important, for example guards are faster, but it takes them a while to actually notice you, so being distracted near them wouldnt be a death sentence, but you also wouldn’t be able to run past them.
Excellent feedback! Thank you
this was so cute - good job!
I think this game look great! The dog and the guards are really fun. I like the concept of the game and your take on the theme. Got a little confused about the tap J when you get distracted. But I had a lot of fun play it. Nice Game.
First off, the sprite work is really good. The sounds as well are nice. The dog was really cute. I liked the idea of having the dog be out of control when a toy is nearby. The guards as well were animated nicely. While it was possible to sneak past most of the guards I ended up just running past most of them which was quite hilarious since they couldn't really keep up XD. Overrall I like the game but I do have some qualms. The environments were a little too simple and sometimes the guards would detect me even if I was outside their field of view. It's a rather nice game none the less man. Good going :)
adorable doggo!!
And interesting idea to mix up the element of stealth with the element of ... barking.
However it feels a bit unfair that once you enter the vision of a guard (and they are not chasing you), they will focus on you until you break line of sight :( which means that at some point you either have to restart of just run for it (which is quite often the solution, just run for it pass all the guards and dodge the balls and such, was an interesting approach :') )
Thank you for your feedback! I think the concept of "just running for it" is hilarious. I want to release a polished version, so I'll keep your observations in mind :)
Loved the sprite work! I wished some of the guards detection radii was not as wide or quick.
Thank you for your feedback! I may release another version down the line, so I will take this into account :)
