This was an interesting game with amazing voice acting! I like how it implements with the theme and in general, like the premise of the game!
I found it hard trying to save all the tourists so maybe you could have a level system? Lower levels have less tourists + less items to collect and it gets harder as you progress.
You're spot on! It's not a complete game as we had to cut a lot of stuff out from the original. We were wanting to have multiple animal types, multiple different types of items + a functioning hotbar/ui system :(
Thanks for playing though and thanks for the feedback!
We wanted to think outside the box for the theme as we felt there would be a lot of games around the idea of tower defence or some weather event. It was a ploy to stick out and so the theme is somewhat of a double entendre in one game:
Everything is calm as long as you're providing the right items. Animals have personalities too, and you want to make sure you don't upset them. In this game, the dogs have a very short patience meter.
The storm can be seen as either the dogs losing patience or you progressing through the levels, spawning multiple dogs which in our opinion is just chaos haha!
Who am I kidding though? Themes are always down to interpretation lmao!
Not all of the art is from us, some of it was taken through asset packs so we can't take credit for that but do check out the Itch pages for the other creators that we sourced some stuff from!
The difficulty is quite high and even we struggled with it :( . And likewise, the controls are quite clunky too; don't worry, it was spotted by us but we kinda just ran out of time to do some extra polish.
Appreciate the detailed review nonetheless, I'll have a look at your game soon!
Good game. At first, I was confused because I wasn't sure what was happening but then I read that's what you're going for.
Loved the art style and music! It was quite hard to see what I was doing so dunno if you can make that visually better while keeping the same level of disorientation.
Hey man. Getting this error when trying to run on both Firefox and Chrome:

No, totally. We had a bunch of features planned that would help aid / assist the player but we realised pretty late that we had overscoped the game sadly. I appreciate you playing!
It definitely is harsh. There were a bunch of features that we just didn't have time to add in because we had overscoped the project. A learning experience for all of us. I appreciate you playing!
I'm happy you got the reference. The way this was pitched to our team was literally "Papers Please but with robots". We are thinking about expanding it and continuing it past the jam :)
