Really enjoyable game with a cute aesthetic. I really liked barking as the dog. I found the controls were quite slippy and wall jumping was quite difficult - I don't think I really got the hang of it. I also managed to teleport through a tunnel near the section above chicken run. Not really sure how I did that!
The dev log for this in gifs was really fun to read and I'm amazed by the technical feats you achieved within the jam deadline.

Thanks for your feedback Polyducks. I am glad you enjoyed barking, it was fun to add, and I spent ages just jumping around barking at chickens. I completely agree with you re: controls and wall jumping. I definitely didn't nail this, and slippy is the perfect word to describe it. Specifically, I think Boz's fall speed should be reduced when a wall jump is available, as if you're sliding down the wall before jumping.
The chicken teleport bug is a viable speedrun strategy! Haha, it's related to the way I'm doing collision detection and I managed to set up the level so almost everyone hits that bug.
I'm glad you enjoyed the gif-log, it was fun to write and re-live everything coming to life. I nearly gave up on ramps at one point but I'm glad I didn't! Thanks again for playing, your game is burning a hole in my to-play list and I'll get to it very soon.
