Very interesting idea! I included it in my Nordic Game Jam Online compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
The best thing in this game is art. You choose the right art direction and the sprites look pretty. I like the atmosphere a lot.
For 2D platformer it's really important to get the character movement right. Unfortunatelly controling the dog in your game is often times really frustrating. The level design is really boring for most of the time. It's nice that you can play in the browser but the framerate is just not acceptable.
Really cool realization. I liked the atmosphere and the variety of the level parts :)
The art is so pretty! And the boss fight music is pretty dope too XD
I love the hand drawn animations
Very cute! I got ending B
I'm a sucker for games about dogs. Lovely art, very nice game you've made.
I always missed the rockets at the end, but was really fun to play this game. The art and music was really nice :)
I really like the art style, its so eerie, reminded me of courage the cowardly dog ! Platforming as a dog is hard work though, the hitbox is so wide, I kept hitting the bats! Good job! I enjoyed it
Awesome game you and your girlfriend made there! Really enjoyed playing it :)
Love the art!
I love this concept and art, I just suck at games so I couldn't play too much of it without "dying", haha. I really appreciated the "tutorial" for that reason, too! I will train my hand-eye coordination and come back to this game. The sound was also good. :) For a first game, you guys did phenomenal work!
Thanks for the kind words! We were going for the "Most Intense" category so I completely understand if you find it too difficult to play. I've made a video so everyone can enjoy the full game :)

What a great idea! And having seen the rest of the game now, I love it even more! Fantastic!
i like the game art and concept but the hitboxs are sometimes really frustrating :)
Thanks for the feedback! I agree about the hitbox issue. I should have used a separate more forgiving hitbox for hazards. I will update this :)
i love dogs
Really loved playing this Game <3 ... loved how the dog sniffs and it shows the direction...
Thanks for the kind words :)
Very traditional platform game most of the time. What really stands out is the graphics. It's just beautiful. Feels like a lot more could have been done with this art.
Thank you! This was the first game jam ever for me and Kaytea23 and the first time Kaytea23 has ever made art for a game. I'm glad you liked her art! With less of a time constraint she could have for sure done more with the art :)
