this game is amazing
Wow! This is problably one of the best game I've played so far, the concept is simple but deep, there is a little bit of skill needed for the aiming part which, the cool fetch/come mechanic and the puzzle design is really interesting, not to hard to be frustrating but enough to let you think a little bit about it and then feel clever when solved.
I reached the end and I wanted to play more! So great job!
Ps: Plus I really liked I could pet the dog for a little boost of confidence! :D
It's really cute game. Good job! Thank you
Cool game ! love the artstyle !
Amazing work! I would love some more levels to be added following the jam!
A very simple and nice topic! It is quite enjoyable to play. I also liked the visuals and art style, and sound was very nice too. Very good job on this one, had a good implementation of the theme as well!
Really well polished and a cool style
I believe that in a level or two (like the one with 3 buttons on a big ladder on the left and 5 walls on the right) you need the dog to leave the ball on the floor so you can tell him to, at least that is how I solve that level!
Oh really nice!!! This is a hidden gem. The puzzles are hard but you feel like there are multiple solutions (even if that might not be the case). I absolutely love that every command has a different whistle for the dog, really nice touch. I managed to get to level 6 or 7 i guess? Not sure, but I had a ton of fun, really nice :D
Thank you! To my knowledge all levels except the last one don't have multiple solutions but also I got proven wrong in previous games i made :)
Mhmm... what now? With a better timing, I would have come to the next red laser beam, but from there - all my brain is saying is "brrrrbbb...".Got it :-P
That said, let's start the more important thing - my ultimate and all-embracing praise:
This is my favourite entry for this Jam! You found the perfect answer for the theme of this Jam. Your puzzles are smart and rewarding. Your choices of how to give commands are just perfect. The atmosphere of the game, the animations, the gestures, the music, the SoundFX - AND the robo-doggy - all this is so lovely and is blending together in such an enjoyable way. Oooofff -- think I am done, hope I was able to express my joy and admiration :-D
I might take away only 1 star from the Visuals, on the other hand, it was such a short timeframe... (and I don't know, how many more levels are coming after that one). Mhmm.. but other than that, 5 stars in all categories from me for your fantastic entry!
Love to hear you had so much fun and enjoyed it. Also great you managed to figure the puzzle out yourself :)
Sweet robodog! :) Good way of implementing the theme with commands of a dog
Cute game, right on spot with the topic.
You can pet the dog! I love how bouncy it is
Great idea! Relly fun game! The only negative thing is the throwing mechanic. The art was really nice and loved that you could pet the dog <33
NOW THAT'S THE GOOD S#it. i liked it so much and the only thing thats not that good is the throwing mechanic it doesn't feel good. Other than that its a great game. Keep it up
I like the visuals and the gameplay, the AI is great and it fits well the theme. Great job!
This one fits the theme perfectly, the dog AI is great, fetching the ball and brings it to you, very ncie path finding.
Also Love that added P to pat the dog, cute af
Awesome job!
Alot of depth in mechanics to this puzzle game ! as others say it could need some polish. However it is a jam game! and for a jam game it is very good! Love the art and animations. Good stuff :)
The game was a lot of fun, I do feel like it needed some polish. Sometimes it was hard to actually get the ball back after the dog fetched it. The jump felt fine to me, but the throwing did get a bit tedious sometimes. Overall it was fun though
Hey so, a couple of things:
- Interesting and cute idea. Gotta love how you added the ability to pet the dog. Nice art also.
- The jump feels rather quite bad, to be honest.
- The throwing mechanic does not feel very well implemented, as making the ball land where I wanted it to land was often quite hard, and that does not really fit with the puzzle gameplay IMO.
- The fetch mechanic was a bite buggy. One time I told the dog to fetch the ball and they could not go to the ball's position and instead went a bit below the ball's position.
Hi, thank you for your critique! Hope you still found joy in playing and petting the dog :)
This game is goooood! XD I didn't play all the levels, but I'd like to!
