I didn't realize Oil was the nemesis of dogs... This is certainly an out there entry. It works fine though and seems polished enough for a 48 hour game creation. It did seem though that I didn't have to do much other than just sweep the levels as the Dogtopians basically threw themselves at the oil without any clever movements from me. I only managed to get to level 2, but I imagine on the higher levels with 50 dogtopians it's probably like dogtopian genocide with waves of them suiciding into the oil.

Windows 7 - I just get music. No gameplay. Crazy hardcore song though.

Nice, fun little game. :)

ViliX 2015-04-20 03:15

The stacking of dogs on the same spot feels a bit weird, but still a nice game :)

Seems solid mechanically, just a little lacking in the actual game play. I don't really get the oil thing, lol.

Nice game.
Challenging for such a simple concept.
I was disappointed that the rabid dogs didn't deal damage.

I really like the song it is catchy :D

Nice game.

Not a bad concept, though I wasn't sure what to do at first (especially as the bad dogs don't seem to have any consequence of touching me). Well done on the music!

forspareparts 2015-04-20 03:36

It's a bit frustrating that dying always sends you back to the start. Maybe the game could have a health system so that it's not quite so all-or-nothing?

The music has an old-school arcade vibe to it, which is great! Also loved the sprite work -- Maddie's wagging tail really sells her for me.

I thought it was simple yet fun. I kept trying to go to fast which makes the game harder than it should because I wouldn't pay attention and ended up in oil. Very solid entry. Congratulations!

Cool game mechanic! The backstory is great ;) It's actually a challenging little game. Great job dude!

I like sticking my tongue out. . . BLEP! Some more sound effects would have been nice, but the music was good, and my wife couldn't stop giggling, so bonus points for that!

balbinoaylagas 2015-04-20 04:34

I really enjoyed it, it was refreshing and i got the mechanic really fast, i liked the way the design went!

boodog 2015-04-20 04:43

Thanks so much, everyone!

At first I thought the goal was to lick other dogs. I like vestigial mechanics like that.

thedarknightdu78 2015-04-20 05:03

Interesting game, the gameplay is a bit repetitive though

jerryleelodbrok 2015-04-20 09:07

That song is not playing around.

ltpats 2015-04-20 09:44

This was fun! I really liked the music and the art was nice, too. I wish dying meant restarting the current level instead of the whole game since it gets pretty tricky. Overall I though it was really fun, great job!

jlauener 2015-04-20 10:02

Nice take on indirect control mechanic! A combo system would have been sweet :)

lukethecoder64 2015-04-20 14:01

I like it. Very creative.

dkoding 2015-04-20 15:45

Unable to start the game. Is it a runnable jar file? Did not work.

danidre14 2015-04-20 17:46

I found an easy way to win this! XD Gather all the dogs, and when they're all folliwing you, lead them into all, and all die at once! XD

I like this game, it's fun!

Thank you for participating.

Spent far too long thinking I was rounding up the dogs and avoiding the oil, my own fault for not reading the help I guess :) Simple but entertaining. Good work.

Trying to lure dogs into a pool of oil is a nice mechanic :)

oborux 2015-04-27 18:38

Nice game! Spacebar for dog tougue is funny :-P
I did a game with a yellow dog too for this LD, its a bit messy

Cool graphic style! Cool concept!

frogcheese 2015-05-10 09:27

Funny story and surprisingly challenging game. The music is pretty fitting for the stressed dog-destroying shenanigans as well.

I appreciate that you put in a dedicated tongue button. : )
