Good job on your game! I like the models and background sounds that come up. I would love for there to be music, and one welcome addition might be the ability to jump, including over fences!
Great job on the jam.

hi, thank you for playing my game. There are 2 gates in the fences on the front edge which open if you bark at them. Unfortunately I didn't do a very good job of signposting this in game. The 2 gardens have simple tasks to complete which give you the final 2 bones needed to complete the game. The open gate and initial over head view of the level hint at them but it needs some further clues as well I think. I was aiming for a gradually unlocking level and so not having jump was a design choice.
Yeah I see what you were aiming for! I actually did find the gates to the yards after opening the main gate - I felt it took a bit long to walk around to that area when I needed to - this is an area where I got a LOT of feedback about in my own game: the speed of player movement relative to where you need to travel in the level. I can see why you would not implement a jump-over-the-fence mechanic just based on what you goal was though. I would say a welcome modification would be to increase the run speed, or some other type of mechanic that allows the player to move to those areas in a quicker manner. Again great job on your entry!
