This is what a jam game its supposed to be. A piece of art. Congratulations on the music

Developer(+1)

thank you so much! We put a lot of soul into this one

Submitted

This felt... different HAHAHA I wish the instructions were clearer. The artstyle is great! Nice job!

Developer(+1)

thank you! The instructions were unclear on purpose, to mimic what dogs must feel when we ask them to do tricks. But yeah, I know this could use some more work, we were thinking of animating the dog somehow to provide more visual cues but run out of time

I never felt so uncomfortable playing a game^^! I love it!

This truly was an experience

Video games are the purest form of art

And this...

Is...a video game

Developer

Amazing execution for an amazing take on the prompt.

I felt many things.

Submitted(+3)

Super creative, even scary XD

Submitted(+3)

I don't really get what I'm supposed to do but I guess that's the point. One of the most traumatizing game I've played this jam, truly felt like a dog who struggles to understand orders lol

Submitted(+2)

Well, that's enough chips for today :D

The art is impressive and the take on the topic is awesome! Maybe qust a few less repetitions of the same commands or some new commands would be nice :) I love that it is hard for the human to understand what his dog meant...But she tries so hard!


Is the "tree" the real ending here? I couldn't quite understand and attempted to run away, but to no avail :)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, that is the real ending, we didn't include any "Game over" or "The end" screens on purpose, to mimic the feelings of confusion, denial, helplessness and finally the terrifying realisation of what has happened. Our core principle was that there should be no UI in the game to fully immerse the player (that's why tutorial etc was presented as billboards in the background as well)

Submitted(+2)

Oh,  now I see :D The ending definitely arouses the feelings  that were implied!

The billboards are also an interesting idea - actually the UI  becomes so intuitive that you may even need one billboard within the game or so :)

Submitted(+3)

This is absolutely horrifying. Great work.

Developer

thank you <3 

Submitted(+3)

Klasa;) Bardzo fajnie wygląda, szczeki i muzyka też na duży plus :P no i ogólnie jajcarskie to. Tylko nie wiem czy powtarzanie tych komend aż tyle razy było takie niezbędne;) Mega doceniam mocne urozmaicenie grafy

Developer

haha dzięki. Dograłeś do końca?

Submitted(+1)

Of korz

Submitted(+3)

Woof? Bark bark, bark bark bark, woof, grr... BARK BARK!

Submitted(+3)

good art style (:

Submitted(+3)

I liked the idea and the style of graphics but the tricks instruction could've been more clear. Overall a fun game! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks! The tricks were obscure by design to kinda replicate the feelings dogs must have when we speak to them. Did you finish the game?

Submitted

I have not unfortunately. I'm a bad human apparently :)

Developer

oh no, that was our main concern, there's a plot twist at the end, but most people will probably not reach it lol
