this was so silly and fun XD

I loved the music and the art, the controls were a bit hard to manage

Pretty silly game with unique concept, that's for sure, good job! 

A mouse sensitivity slider would be nice to have, because, not sure if it's because of my screen, but a slight movement will turn the dog REALLY fast. Still, i got a hang of it after a while, so it's all good.

I love the chaotic energy of this game really fun and enjoyabe, the mechanics are a bit janky you can almost turn the characters into helicopters but its hilarious and I love it. As someone as has mentioned it would be good if you could swing the wheel chair bound person with some momentum into objects, otherwise great game

Such a weird and goofy game, I had a lot of fun with this one! Also, the music fits the game so well!

Loved the game and the concept, controlls are a bit wonky, the wheelchair could do with a bit more "swing"/maintaining momentum. Other than that it's a great submission!

Such a goofy game xD Everything is so nice, even your home page is amazing. The art is beautiful, the audio is very nice, and the gameplay was also pretty good! I laughed a lot while playing the game live :)

More responsive controls could help this go a long way, idk if it was intentional but it felt like i was constantly going in loops while simply trying to walk straight. The graphics, page design, and music all contribute to the overall vibe great though.

Nice concept! I found the mouse control to be a little unresponsive. Needs more levels.

I full-on snorted when I read the description of this game. Does that make me a bad person? Who knows? The important part is that the game delivers! Slinging your owner around is a (concerningly) fun time, and the artstyle and music support it well (shoutout to the walk animation!). I personally had a little trouble controlling the game, as the mouse controls made it kinda hard to whip the owner into obstacles as fast as I liked, and it felt a little odd that the owner would simply phase through the levels walls (even though it makes a lot of sense from a game dev perspective). All that aside, awesome job yall!

Believe it or not, when our team brainstormed, we came up with a very similar idea! (the reversed role  that you're a dog, and you drag your master into a difficult situation). Eventually, we settled on another concept (a reverse vampire survivor).

But I can't believe someone actually did it! It's really fun, I had a lot of fun creating chaos! Good job on your submission

Fun game with a really silly concept! Not crazy about the mouse controls, but I suppose it just adds to the chaos of it all! Nice work!

Best jam submission I played yet. Jesus christ this game got me in tears. Tho the camera is a bit buggy it and clipped through wall, it doesn't matter because it's so goofy it adds up to the fun

Submitted(+2)

Really fun game, especially the art was really nice. But i think it would have been helpful if you would be able to see the cursor. But overall great.

Submitted(+2)

Very fun and incredible what you have done for 48 hours, but it is not as smart game I thought it would be. Nice music. :)

Submitted(+2)

This is great! I think it would do amazingly as a mobile game of some sort. All it needs is a bit more player feedback (Like knowing for certain if you've hit something), more sfx, and less wonky controls.

I almost lost it when the game menu opened and banjo music started playing!! Haha!! Thanks for the fun time! Good work!
