Neat game, I really liked the art-style.

literal_games 2014-08-26 12:51

Can't seem to get past the second puzzle, couldn't figure out how to do the dogs part with the >> symbol? Other than that, seems really fun! Enjoyed the co op gameplay!

The graphics and audio are great, but I got stuck on the second puzzle.
I pressed all the buttons a few times and couldn't get the ">>" to trigger. Not too sure what it means. Would like to know what happens past that...

kigurumidevs 2014-08-26 12:56

Like the idea! And a nice cover image.

mechanicmoon 2014-08-26 13:06

The game is good, the puzzles are fun

degtyarev 2014-08-26 13:07

@Literal Games Damn, we've forgot to add to instruction. Right Shift + Movement buttons is for running,

rawbosaurx 2014-08-26 13:09

Art is is very characteristic and cute. I like the premise of the whole puzzle thing, but I couldn't get past the second one. So maybe a bit hard? Got a bit overwhelmed by how buttons there were, but it's probably something to get used to.

kacperski1 2014-08-26 13:11

Can't complete the second puzzle too :( Not rating because it seems awesome and I'm going to play it after it's fixed :)

degtyarev 2014-08-26 13:15

GUYS !!!! USE RIGHT SHIFT TO RUN, i've failed to mention it in instructions

luisdc 2014-08-26 13:22

I liked the controls and animations. Also the graphics.

almax27 2014-08-26 14:01

I don't even. Random, but surprisingly fun :D controls are quite cumbersome though, especially when playing by yourself lol

badlydrawnrod 2014-08-26 19:51

That was quite tricky to control, but the graphics are cute and the sounds are quite amusing. My wife controlled the dog and kept weeing on me (as a dog I mean, not IRL).

stasss 2014-08-26 21:26

Great concept and artwork. Very memorable music and sounds)

degtyarev 2014-08-27 09:42

@badlydrawnrod That is what we aimed for. Playing together makes more fun!

razoric 2014-08-27 16:06

Reminds me of that game Brothers. Well done.

snoother 2014-08-27 19:53

The graphics and animations are truly lovely. The controls, although perhaps initially overwhelming, quickly become intuitive and usable. (And what is it about piss buttons that make them so fun? The dog must have gargantuan bladder considering the amount of times I made him pee just for the giggles. Terribly childish, I know.) I wasn't overly keen on the puzzles, I must admit, but they weren't that bad. Overall, however, it's a really good entry. I do imagine it would have been great to have played this two player.

ellipticaldoor 2014-08-28 12:23

I love the idea of controlling two different characters with the same controller! Nice work!!

nosfer 2014-08-28 12:39

nice graphics style and animations. I couldn't solve second puzzle unfortunately, maybe will try it later with my girlfriend ;)

degtyarev 2014-08-28 13:42

Thanks guys for your feed back, and YES it really makes more fun playing together

nerd-burglars 2014-08-28 17:46

I love a good puzzle game. Solid entry :)

nuclearnapalm 2014-08-29 15:30

Interesting idea. But playing keeping 20 buttonsin mind is a bit tricky. Btw, art style and humor are really cool :)

jomomomo 2014-08-29 21:26

Nice job! Great art, audio was pleasant.... will try to actually give it a go multiplayer when I get home from the office.

naytron 2014-08-30 13:25

Sweet audio and visuals, really nice. It's quite fun to play single player too!

manou 2014-08-30 13:28

Funny sounds !

borgi 2014-08-30 14:22

Nice graphics and sounds! Very interressting gameplay! Sadly I only tested it alone :C

gene-z 2014-08-30 19:07

To much fun, congratulations

bluesky 2014-08-30 19:12

Nice game Love the gameplay.

landosystems 2014-08-30 20:46

Very cute art style... solo play was a little tricky because my brain has a hard time with double control sets like this. Great work though, interesting take on the theme!

thegamingproject 2014-08-30 20:48

That felt really good.

nooner-bear 2014-08-31 07:22

Haha, adorable!

lokarunith 2014-09-01 10:54

Cute game, I loved solving the puzzles but the implementation of the theme is very confusing. The friendship between a human and a dog is already a connection between two worlds, the portal appearing in the end is too far-fetched and serves no purpose in the game.

igoramendola 2014-09-04 06:47

The different actions are super cool! Very well done and it's pretty funny hahaha
Nice music and graphics. Also, interesting idea about using actions to solve the puzzles ^^

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-14 19:02

There are a lot of controls! O_O Really nice graphics though! I included it in part 24 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/3RN80xyak-c

jukimv1986 2014-09-15 17:13

Nice coop game! The puzzles were entertaining and the visuals neat. Lots of animations there, great work!

sephyka 2014-09-15 17:42

Hehe really fun. Caution, because it's difficult to control correctly the character with an AZERTY keyboard, it might be good with arrows control too. Animation and mood are really fun!
