Thank you! I wanted the dog to feel important!
I agree 100% on all that. I didn't have the energy to playtest it (just checking that the triggers worked) and once I tried doing it for real I realized how nuts it is. You were right about the dog--the actual method that was consistent is to push in the computer a little bit and throw the dog very close, so he is pushed into the hole by the ceiling. But I know it's not very intuitive--just more things to work on for the next update!
I do plan on expanding it greatly. Thank you for your thorough feedback!
