Yeah! That was very original.

But I had some bad issues, couldn't finish it. White screens flashing when it shouldn't be, my dog wouldn't stop running left too.

But I still get the feeling this game was well done. I could figure out immediately what I had to do: picking up stuff and then dig it. xD
The concept is really great.

I would really enjoy playing this again on a less bugged version.

That's too bad.

What browser were you using?

Not the best graphics out there, but definitely engaging gameplay. Keep it up!

Actually, the art was done by my brother, so I'm pretty sure they're "The best graphics" :) Unless you're talking about the yellow squares of doom. That was all me and highly questionable.

I can't seem to get past the title screen. Tried pressing a bunch of different keys, but to not avail.

Cool idea, but I encountered a game breaking bug that wouldn't let me continue. Once it reloaded, I couldn't walk up, but I could walk through the walls to my left and right.

is the dog barking or whimpering?
and the cop just kept walking around after I hid the items, was he suppose to, or was there more?

i really liked the sound effects! bonus points cause the dog is cute. i dug up the whole yard and couldn't find anything though.

The sound is a little noisy... but gameplay is original.

Certainly an innovative concept. Unfortunately I had an issue with collision in the garage(?) where I as stuck in the top right corner in the table and couldn't do anything.

kinda buggy and the bark sound is more funny than anything, but the concept was really strong and well-done

Nice idea, cute graphics... I like being a dog. :)

this dog looks like mine except the bark sound !
this is a pleasant game, thanks.

Awww :( The poor dog knew too much! Creative use of the theme, and nice story, but the game could have been more challenging.

I like how the dog's head changes depending on vertical direction.

Interesting game.
I missed some of the dialog because it goes away when you press the arrow keys, so I played it twice. I thought the story was a bit strange, but it was cool how the game mechanic was so linked to it. Good job!

Oh my GOD that's sad! It's also really clever and fantastic. Well done!

jacic 2013-01-04 00:27

I almost cried. Nice game!

Very interesting and engaging.
