Nice idea, I think it works well! I could easily see some additional mechanics being added, like charging pads for the drone or something, that could help make future levels complex. Good job!
Yes I'd like to expand it and include things like extra charge points for the drone. Thanks for the feedback!
Simple, but very interesting. I love the boston dynamics doggo jpeg :P Only thing I could point out is that everything feels a bit slow. Other than that, really good entry!
Thanks for the feedback :)
Nice little puzzle game. It was a little hard to figure out what to do at first. But once I learned that the bird needs to be on the dog to leave the room it was smooth sailing. Nice puzzles, and use of the theme. The ending was pretty cute too. Good job!
Thanks for playing!
Interesting ideas! The level design is pretty good and clever, a little challenging but not too hard. What's more, the artwork and SFX of this game is pretty good. Overall, this is really a fantastic work for 48 hours! Had a lot of fun!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great little puzzle game! Fits the theme perfectly, and I'd like to try a post-jam version with more levels.
Thanks! I would definitely like to expand it.
Super neat game! I like the puzzles you came up with. I think the main mechanic has a lot of potential for more levels and puzzles.
The art style and SFX are really well done. I guess the dog's inspiration was Boston Dynamics? Really cool.
One thing I would love having tweaked is the walk speed of the dog. The drone feels pretty good to control but the dog is a bit slow. Not a big issue though!
Congrats on submitting!
Yes very much Boston Dynamics inspired, and I've had a few comments on the walking speed so I'll have to tweak that. Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback!
Nice, the dog and the drone working together works really well! I only had some slight issues getting through gaps at times with the little bird, but it's great how it works and how the puzzles are set up, nice job!
Thanks!
Best game I've rated in this jam so far. Really nice execution and art, an original idea that fits the jam well, and special kudos for making an actual ending cutscene -- that was a great touch. 10/10 would play a full game based around the concept of two robot buddies.
Thank you so much!
Nice game , really interesting puzzles. pls check out my game

Thanks!
The animation of the dog was well done, I would have liked it to move faster but I got the feel you were going for. The puzzles were pretty interesting, and it was a really cool take on having two characters that you control separately. Great job!
Appreciate the feedback :)
Nice idea! Could be expanded well into a full game, with a few more included switch up mechanics. Having the dog be faster would greatly help the flow of the game too. Nice job!
Thanks a lot! I'll keep that in mind.
Cool idea, but it will be better if there was faster dog animation.
Thanks for the feedback :)
