I am in love with the concept of avoiding cucumbers thrown by rude dogs, and thought that the art for the dogs themselves was delightful. I missed music and sound effects, but besides that the presentation is spot on here.
Is there any way to set my name for the leaderboard, or any plans to make them online after the jam? I'd love to compete with others on this!
