Oh no! niko.dll is missing! I tried! You should be able to publish to Win / Mac / Flash (web) with haXe.

No neko.dll can't play.

aske 2014-12-08 15:41

I've fixed it. It was 4 am last night, brain wasn't functioning properly.. :D

Wow, really cool art and mechanics! You might want to add some depth to the tutorial screen, as I didn't quite understand everything :P Also, cool twist the throwing the butter and controlling another character! Good job!

Probably more fun with 2 players but still somewhat entertaining with one. I like the music and the little dudes, the dog is cute too.

aske 2014-12-09 12:25

FerraWare, Good point. I'll add that in the post compo :)

deyteris_team 2014-12-09 14:12

I like art and mechanics. Nice game

rzuf 2014-12-09 15:29

My second hand was not a particularly entertaining opponent. I looove the graphic style!

wer2chosen 2014-12-09 16:04

Good game for less than 72 hours, played well as a webgame. Liked the graphics, kind of a punk thang!

harley77 2014-12-09 16:07

Loved the art!

dracomagna 2014-12-09 17:28

Nice game!
I love the face of the character. xD

klianc09 2014-12-09 17:45

Funny artstyle, love the dogs expression. Everything is going pretty fast, there is nearly no time to aim at all.

Also it would be great if there was some visual indication which character is currently selected, I always forget after throwing the butter, that I have to control the other character .

aske 2014-12-09 18:09

klianc09, I see your point and I'll do that in the post-compo, but I must admit that it's kinda funny when you witch character but forget about it :D

Right now i have nobody to play with so i played single-player. but it feels like this is made for 2 people so i gotta try it again with a friend. graphics are nice though

fussycashew 2014-12-09 23:11

Fun! Definitely challenging, though. I feel like some more time before the dog gets to the butter on the start would be nice. Really dig the graphical style.

Was not sure at first what to do, until I read the description. :3 A very intriguing game with cool music and funny animations.
Did not experience all that gameplay, since I could not play 2 player.

wertle 2014-12-11 00:01

This game cracked me up with it's weird theming and silly animations. It was really hard, though, that dog AI is OP! I found it really tricky to steer the aiming without just throwing the butter off screen. I think there are fun things to do with the whole hot potato multiplayer mechanic. Nice work!

sk16games 2014-12-11 15:43

Haha, nice idea and a fun game to play with your friends! Wait... I'm a programmer, I don't have friends... >.<

heh... Smørklat :3

That dog'll have a stomach-ache soon, no doubt. He's had like five pounds of butter :/
Seriously though, simple but fun and funny, with a catchy tune. Well done!

delahee 2014-12-12 19:11

Heck, that dog is fast !! Nice idea, nice music, just needed a bit of time to actually grasp the concept, but you know, I'm a bit slow :)

teesquared 2014-12-13 18:07

I didn't really understand what the objective of the game was. But it was a funny concept to get the butter.

badlydrawnrod 2014-12-13 18:31

Intriguing. I played 2 player with my wife, and then we were so inspired that we went to the fridge and recreated scenes from the game. Your version was more fun.

robotloveskitty 2014-12-13 18:48

Darn butter eating dog! It's my butter, I got it first!

aske 2014-12-13 19:26

Haha, glad you liked it :)

ethanwebster 2014-12-13 19:35

Very nice game, great mechanics! Also extremely addictive. Would make a great mobile game.

pjimmy 2014-12-13 19:37

lol, very funny game, love the awkward style, well done

rantt 2014-12-13 19:38

Nooo, my butter!!!...lol. Fun game, and great art style. I really liked it, nicely done :)

hbocao 2014-12-14 02:11

Really good job, man! I felt the controls kinda weird at the beginning but I got used to it. I loved the art!

panda 2014-12-25 04:46

A simple yet fun game! I only played the single player version, thanks for including it! That dog's pretty fast! I really liked the graphics.

oscarabraham 2014-12-25 19:23

This is kind of addictive. I love the graphic art.

rico-albe 2014-12-27 19:33

Multiplayer was really confusing, and didn't result in a much fun game. Single player did work better.

Aiming is really hard, most of the time you just throw the butter outside of the screen.

Probably a four player mode would work nicely.
