Great job for your first jam! I loved the broken bones counter so that you can monitor how close you are to death by doggo! The bark sound was so real my pupper thought their was another dog in the house!
This was a unique concept, and while the main point of the game was to survive, I did find myself playing it the exact opposite just to see how fast I could end this man's bones. Still, I managed to just squeeze by the high score in the game (I think it was around 78?) Which felt great. Cool game, interesting mechanic, a fun little time waster. Good job!
Wonderful concept, and I love the impact as you hurl into objects. Great job.
It's a little unwieldy to control, and feels like I'm at the good boi's mercy, but I think that's exactly what is meant to happen.
The most fun 2 minutes I've had while rating everyone's games.
Great job!
It was pretty hard to "boost" away from trees. I liked how the leash would wrap around trees if you weren't careful and crush ALL OF YOUR BONES
Very creative use of theme, although the controls feel like they do nothing. The sound design is wonderful though, very atmospheric. The art is nice too!
Main menu needs some polish but other than that, great!

Hey, cool idea for mechanics really creative :) Small note it would be nice to show the final time cuz right now it just resets to 0 (or maybe it is caused by one time to much not sure but that is not ideal for sure). Also those breaking bones sounds are great, could feel the pain :D
Nice submission, I loved the Untitled Goose Game vibes! I didn't get the controls (even after reading the description) but it's a great first game, congrats!
Simple but interesting idea. At first I thought it was a lightsaber lol, then I figured it out. My personal best is about 60 seconds.
Cool idea. The game feels very nice to play.
very fun and clever idea, not much to say except i liked it ! (oh yeah i can say ive been able to beat your friend and im proud of that)
It is a nice game, high score makes you want to beat others. You could implement a leader board. I have managed to set a new record at 96s ;). My first attempt was without reading instructions. I thought I am a blind person and my task is to guard myself with a white cane.
Congrats on finishing your first game jam.
Edit: I have refreshed a page and the high score has disappeared. Little bit disappointing ;)
Yeah sorry for that. Nice idea but because of time reasons is the highscore just a default score (from a friend of mine) when starting the game 😅
Very nice game! I love the concept and the art is very nice!
I had to read the instructions to understand how to play it, and I think it'd be great if you had an indication on the character of its state (what is currently shown in the bottom left as "broken bones"), but overall nice experience!
love the idea and the responsive sounds when hitting things, the controls could be refined but the idea is really interesting and enjoyable
Nice idea. The controls weren't the best, it felt like I had no control over anything in the game. The art was good however as was the main mechanic. Good job.
