VERDICT📝
This is a very cute game that really nailed the theme by scaling up as the gameplay progressed. The sound design was pleasant, and the art was charming, creating a cohesive and enjoyable experience. While there weren’t any mind-blowing concepts introduced, this game is a very solid bite-sized submission that fits perfectly within the scope of a game jam. The mechanics were straightforward but effective, making it a fun, quick play.
One small detail I would have loved is if the bark sound had been pitched lower as the dog got bigger. Overall, it’s a delightful little game with a nice balance of theme, art, and sound. Bark Button/10.
