I can't jump on "W", it's so hard

Very hard to control, so near impossible to advance past the start. I feel like there needs to be more "stick" time during the wall jump. Would also help if jump button was something like spacebar to make it easier to control (arrow key up is awkward). Graphics are cool, and dog animations are cute!

My sister told me the walljumping was unintuitive. I guess I just walljump weirdly. I decided to make the title screen require a tricky jump to make sure that you would have a chance to try it before the game actually started.

I was going to add WASD controls, I have the movement script set up to allow me to do that, but then... I didn't.

There's a bunch of other stuff I would've liked to put in, like a difficulty curve, but I was working right up to the time limit to get something presentable. I think I'll make a post-jam version that is a little closer to my original vision.

Geez, the controls are so slippery

I like the graphics, that's a very cute dog. The game is way too hard for me, I think I'd need to play it at half or quarter speed to even have a chance.

Nice graphics, the dog is cute AF. But yeah, the controls are kinda hard to get anything done =\. Anyway, good to see more javascript jammers ^^ We did wit js too o/

I love the theme, the graphics and idea, but the controls are really difficult. I couldn't make it to the "UP" at all.

The animation and movement are really well made, it feels tight and responsive to play. Good job. :)

Neat idea! The wall-jump mechanic is very cool! But man, this is a tough one. It was difficult for me to get very far because the controls were so sensitive.

Cute character, cool idea.

The dog sprite was adorable. The game play was impossible. fun

Hard to play and control but once I got the hang out it it wasn't too bad. A high score would be a nice thing to add in the future.

The game looks great but even in the post jam version it is very difficult to not slide off 1 wide blocks and have to repeat a part over and over.it doesn't seem fair if you have already made the jump. love the dog character though and the games physics mechanics feel really well coded and reliable.

Cute dog sprite.

Cute visuals and animations, but controls are wayy to difficult! Very glad to see you fixed it in a post-jam update though, it helped me experience the game for what it was intended to be. Good job!

Cool animation for the dog ! But the game was really too hard for me, even in the post-jam version I didn't get very far, the dog is nearly impossible to control... Otherwise it is quite well done !
