I really enjoyed this game! I'm the best wing-animal ever!
I don't really see how it fits in with the theme 'Connected worlds' though. Apart from that, high ratings!
Tempted to play again and do everything to split the two people up, but I think that'd just make me sad more than anything...
@dadman, thanks for the feedback. I was going add sound which would have helped tie it to the theme a lot more, but I didn't have enough time. For example, all the talking from the man and woman would have sounded garbled at first, then as you connected with the man you would be able to distinguish your name and other words in the dialog.
A dog simulator!
All in all real good.
Maybe a bit to wall-of-text like, but really not a problem.
I love animals...so maybe a sequel?
@Paperblurt: Yeah, there are a few walls of text in there. I did have timed inserts in the story but didn't have enough time to make sure they were all timed correctly, so I removed them.
There will definitely be more animal games. I'm not a huge fan of cats, but I'm sure I'll make another game with a dog in it soon.

Good story, and I liked how you more or less -felt- like a dog. A shame there weren't more options though, it was a little too straightforward. :(
Good stuff anyway!
A great tale, Those shoes though. And I understood the connection two. Its hard to explain though.
Haha, another wing-animal here! That guy was lucky to have me. Nudging him forward at every turn :D
A bit straightforward, but a dog simulator! I haven't played one of these in days!
Great writing - very captivating and well-paced. Also, great take on the theme!
Nice story but that's quite all. Would love more interactivity in this kind of game.

A gorgeous game gorgeously presented. The interactivity actually felt about right for me: just enough to maintain player interest but always focused on the story, which is what this game's really about. However, if you include timed sequences in a future version as you say, I think it would improve pacing.

This was a fun read/play! Good job!
Beautiful story, well presented. Kept me captivated.
Thank you for the feedback, everyone! I'll work on it some more once I get my sleep back to normal and let you all know when I upload it.
Great writing!

Wow! Amazing story!
I like how you used the theme to connect the dog's world with the human world.

Cool story, some music would have made this really killer
Nice! I felt distinctly canine for a little while there.. Odd sensation. :)
