Noticed that respawning is bugged out. Might want to fix that. Interesting concept otherwise.

Game Window scrolled outside of screen (ironic?), couldn't play

Also had some issues with respawning. Did really enjoy the concept, though!

Pretty cool concept. Yeah when I die I go to what I presume is doggy purgatory, but I have to refresh the page to restart. My input also registers on the page as well as the game, making it difficult to move. Not sure if this is something you can fix in code or is an issue with the site.

Not working on Safari.
Starting on Firefox, but nothing happens, even if I press space or WASD oder arrow keys.

tkf15h 2014-12-08 07:02

Hey guys, I think the scrolling is beyond my control, so I added the WASD option as a work-around. Thanks for the feedback.

tkf15h 2014-12-08 07:06

fachexot: I've been testing on Chrome only, apparently Firefox handles input differently. I'll have to look into that later. >_<

I love it's in 3d, textures took some time to load, but in the end it played well.

blue-thumbs-gaming 2014-12-08 12:06

The arrow keys and space bar really wig out the game view in Chrome.

Nice game and cool graphics, please add some sounds and music!

2014-12-08 14:16

I have no idea how to start the game ._.

oh_cripes 2014-12-08 14:58

Nice idea but it seems a bit unfinished.

thiaguera 2014-12-08 17:23

It gets a little boring. Maybe if you added some music and sfx woudl help.

tkf15h 2014-12-08 19:17

I definitely need to add a bit of sound, music and polish all around. There's only so much you can do on your own in 48 hours! Thanks for the feedback, guys.

pfilzweg 2014-12-08 19:28

Would love me some sound effects. Kudos for the backstory.

sheep-co 2014-12-08 19:29

I liked this game it was a good concept but i didnt know where to go to win the game but overall it was fun!

tkf15h 2014-12-08 20:14

Pfilzweg: Yeah, I'll have to add sound to a non-compo version.
ssheep: You're supposed to attack the enemies to win.

Fun little game. Watching the dog die is heartbreaking!

tokw 2014-12-08 22:18

Fun game. nice simple mechanics, also the game over screen was simple but effective.

mintarcade 2014-12-08 22:24

Interesting game. Definitely fun to play.

gagapete 2014-12-09 11:35

The dog is running in circles and I can't control it. Played in a new tab, so no scrolling issues. Tested in Firefox and Chrome.

Firefox console says: "TypeError: event.keyIdentifier is undefined"

markusfisch 2014-12-09 14:20

It's fun to hide in the bushes and attack the guards from disguise! Like it!

madameberry 2014-12-09 22:40

I'm not sure why I keep dying. There's no feedback for why I'm dying, I just suddenly keel over.

tkf15h 2014-12-09 23:11

madameberry: you're getting shot by a soldier. I didn't have time to make a proper shooting animation or feedback, so pretend they're shooting you with their mind-powers. :)

snemanden 2014-12-12 16:58

Really like the dog model! :) Great animation there.

The game was quite challenging. Would have liked some indication of whom spotted you.

brighterorange 2014-12-13 15:17

A fun little stealth game. I thought it was a bit hard/unfair because I couldn't figure out the rules for when the soldiers could see me, and (especially) because they'd just turn randomly sometimes -- I wasn't even able to finish the first level because with three guys in the box at the end, it seems like mostly luck..? I did really like the character models and animations, though!

zkenshin 2014-12-14 01:00

Neat game. Nice graphics. Insta-death felt a little harsh. Perhaps a small transition/animation would work. Liked how quickly you could replay though. Nice job!

riocide 2014-12-17 11:20

Wheres the audio?? Cool idea but would be more fun with some audio!

blzkz 2014-12-28 18:51

This game remembers me a puzzle in Ocarina Of Time, when you are trying to speak with Zelda, well done!

shellfishgames 2014-12-28 19:22

Needed some time to figure out I was supposed to kill the soldiers instead of sneaking past them (my bad), but then it all made sense. Fun gameplay, I just wish the AI was a tad more complex instead of those simple and often weird walk patterns. Otherwise pretty cool, and nice visuals.
