Really fun game! The birds pooping is a very funny hazard. The mice would get stuck on the fences and that's why I was able to grab them lol, not sure if that was intended. Also it felt to me as soon as I heard the dogs growling they would lunge straight at me and I wouldn't be able to avoid them. Maybe more of a delay before attack would be better, or slightly slower dog movement speed? Anyways, great game!

Full disclosure: the rats getting stuck were NOT intended BUT it kinda was an happy accident because cornering them is really difficult otherwise and it gave a bit of relief to player frustration. Idk if we're gonna touch it again after this (and I hope we do) but I think we should change the pounce before we touch that bug lmao.
Yeah the dog are supposed to be coming at you at incredible high speed almost immediately, the idea is to get the player to smash them in the walls through trial and error and find openings to go get the powerups or give up a life to pass them. I kinda liked it like this during testing because it allowed for cautios players to move the dogs to the corners of fences and pass the other way while forcing unknowing players to deal with dogs speeding at them through the streets cause they let them out too quickly.
Ty for the feedback!
