What a good boi! I absolutely loved this one!
I love walkin' my boy! We made it home safe. Great job!
what a good boy. Quite a lot of games this year went with dog walks human, including us.
You can launch the dog into orbit when spamming spacebar . 10/10
Dog is human's friend, well done!
Nice game! He’s certainly a good dog!
Even better than a dog is a flying dog!
I really liked the camera work you did. It felt really smooth!
Sound would have def improved the experience, and the lash mechanic could have used a bit more work, but there's only so much a single developer can do. I can, however, see the ideas you had level-design-wise, and they were solid!
An enjoyable experience for sure. Nice work!
Thank you for playing and reviewing!
I love using Cinemachine in projects. it makes the camera movements and transitions so smooth without too much work.
Cute. Good job on the leash mechanic!
A nice game with an adorable dog character! The leash mechanic was a standout feature that added an extra layer of enjoyment. While there were some minor issues with the leash's functionality, the overall experience was enjoyable (ropes can be really challenging to implement in games). It was a nice experience overall. Good job!
Incredible Doggo!!! Love the art.
What a doggo. Physics were great, good job!
very cute dog
Thank you! He's based on my dog Buddy.
This definitely feels like a canonical Shiba Inu walk. Great concept, love the randomised physics!
Nice dog, nice game. I figured out the flying dog trick and it kinda trivialises the game, but a cool idea all in all.
Good boy and a good boy!
really like leash mechanic
if the boy has ragdoll it would be so much funny!
I agree, that would have made it really funny. Thanks for playing!
i have killed the boy!
fun game tho lol
My testing involved throwing/pushing the boy off the ledge quite a lot. Thanks for the comment!
nice idea the leash seemed kinda buggy but overall was an enjoyable game! :)
The leash could definitely have used some more work but decided to move on when it was good enough.
Thanks for playing!
Flying dog! Awesome, this game made me smile so much!
I am still not sure if the slightly random physic is good or bad.
I realized you can make the dog fly way too late in the dev process to fix it. Thanks for playing!
seems like I wasn't the only one who came up with the dog on a leash idea :P
Same color of dog too
The dog was based on my dog who is the same color. I thought the dog on a leash idea was a good one.
Great minds think alike.
