NICE! :D Love making the pup moonwalk, too. ;D

torcado194 2014-04-29 02:47

haha. the story is pretty funny. the game reminds me of the first legend of zelda game in the dungeons. very short, but nice! good job :3

mondi 2014-04-29 02:47

Very fun! Almost died in the end! =)

magicrat 2014-04-29 02:48

Haha, that's pretty funny. I like the Zelda-style dungeons, and that boss was weird. Good game!

smilingcat 2014-04-29 02:50

"Why did we give it adamantium hugging arms and loving gaze heat lasers?" lol, best line in the game. I think I got lucky and found the boss after only 3 or 4 rooms, but it was fun. Nice artwork especially on the cutscenes.

I really dig the humor. The first time I clicked the mouse during gameplay... oh man, it was magical.

Good gameplay, too! I was a bit worried that the firing speed and/or bullet speed were too slow and was keeping an eye out for upgrades or something similar. I got to the end with no problems, though. Nice work.

With a story dialog that long, I didn't expect the game to end that quickly. Maybe its randomized. Very cool art!

greysphere 2014-04-29 02:55

Yes, I've saved the universe from the loving gaze heat lazers and adamantium hugging arms!

eerongal 2014-04-29 02:58

Neat little game. With more levels, and more to it than just shooting, and a little polish, could be something pretty neat!

mechabit 2014-04-29 03:06

Yeah, we planned on adding loads more stuff.. You can press R to regenerate the level, maybe you can find the power meat?

mrexcessive 2014-04-29 04:13

Quite hard to aim, but I got used to it. Love the art style and intro. is included in that! Sound great also... very retro.

the dog left and right animations crack me up every time :)

Hi, this is Vector from the Victory Garden team! (posting under Solifuge's account)

The second game I've finished until the end! The graphic direction was a bit uncohesive, but the general idea was really funny. I only got damaged once, though, so maybe you want to rebalance the room difficulty (please note: I am not very good at Binding of Isaac).

mechabit 2014-04-29 08:54

@Solifuge I know what you mean, I threw in some coder art as we were strapped for time. The levels are a bit easy as they were meant to be the first of many :)

kyledaudio 2014-04-29 17:10

I like the Binding of Isaac sort of design! :)

darkmeatgames 2014-04-29 20:03

Liked the story and humor, and it was fun to play. With some more content and polish this could be really fun!

kasarun 2014-04-29 20:53

Really appreciate the art. I died once at the boss and finally beat it! Great work

hitchh1k3r 2014-04-29 21:10

Why did I have to kill the robot? Didn't it just want hugs?!?

Overall a very silly game, and I liked it. I didn't read the controls first so it took me a little bit before I released I was supposed to shoot with the mouse.

It would have been nice to see what else could have been added if you had more time. It still managed to feel complete, just short.

mechabit 2014-04-29 21:43

@hitchh1k3r It's a hug bot gone rogue. It's destroying the city and no one can stop it... except NanoDog! If it makes you feel better about it they can plug in a new non-broken chip afterwards :)

muhmarigo 2014-04-30 00:03

Very fun, nice graphics and the moonwalk was really cool

tanner101010 2014-04-30 05:13

Moon walking dog ftw :D I like how this is one of the few games that has an ending that's easy to get to.

lyje 2014-04-30 11:05

Great fun - classic twin stick and I love the dog sprite. Found it mega easy though - would have loved to play a really really hard version of this game :)

thegreentie 2014-05-01 15:54

Nice. It's like The Binding of Isaac with a dog!
Too short but the art was good :)

oddballdave 2014-05-01 15:55

Good fun. Was very easy though.

ccglp 2014-05-01 15:56

Story is so bizarre xD, the dog is super duper cute!

moosefly 2014-05-01 16:01

Damn, walked in to a room and almost instantly lost 2 whole hearts, talk about bad luck :P. Still managed to finish it on the first try. Nothing too fancy, but a nice little game!

This is Japanese craziness quality here! Fun, funny and cool entry! haha

fox_in_sox 2014-05-02 07:59

Iteresting take on an old Legend of Zelda concept. Very funny story and overall it's fun to play. Graphics need some improvement, but good result for a jam entry!

elstevo 2014-05-03 15:31

Good Zelda I -like game, fun to play !

mintarcade 2014-05-03 16:36

I like the random level generation. The game is funny too.

gre 2014-05-04 13:35

YEAH! Dog with guns aimed to kill the evil robot with laser guns and electro music :-)
Crazy idea :-D
Short game though.

cheesepencil 2014-05-05 21:44

that was mindblowing

mechabit 2014-05-05 22:02

Thanks for the comments guys :)

kibertoad 2014-05-06 20:36

An okay variation on Binding of Isaac.

conormn 2014-05-07 23:14

Oh WOW. That was a treat. Thanks so much for making :)

jaj 2014-05-10 10:39

Such a cool entry, but so short!

phocker 2014-05-16 00:18

yes! I saved the world! great job - it was very fun and WAY to short

woodenrabbit 2014-05-16 04:24

Hahahahaha yes! I liked it :D Good game the story was enjoyable too.

gamepopper 2014-05-19 20:42

Fairly good. Quite enjoyed that. :)

mechabit 2014-05-20 07:31
