Damn, 4:30 a.m, wanted to sleep, found this, played 30min, thanks mate, great piece of game you have here !

I like this description: "*...if you are ever short, you will be forced to go out of business. Enjoy!*"

To be honest I didn't look at screenshots before play so I was surprised that customers are :dog:

Really creative idea. Especially "watch dogs" :wink:

The gameplay is a bit fast. I prefer more explicit way to show which machine is running and which is not (maybe more darker inactive ones).

Arcade games for dogs, do i need to say more? Really enjoyed the amazing artstyle!

Really unique idea, and nice graphical style! Unfortunately the game spat out a big error window on the first playthrough, but other than that this is a nice entry :slight_smile: It's a bit tough, but still enjoyable.

@aj-weeks Oof, sorry about that error window. I haven't run into it in any testing, so hopefully it's really rare and I'm not just getting lucky (unlucky?) in general testing.

Cool 80's vibe, atmosphere and music, graphics are great!

like n.feofentov, I think there could be some improvement on graphic clarity.

Otherwise nice entry!

Very funny game! The mood of it is amazing and the art style is incredibly great. Congratulations to the team

Amazing graphics! It's a really unique idea. Nice work.

That was a really neat concept! I was a little confused as to how to gain/lose power since all the machines would turn off suddenly, but I loved the sound effects and music and the art style paired with the feel of the game splendidly! Your team did an awesome job!! Keep up the great work!! :)

Really funny idea. Put a smile on my face for sure. Could use some more communication from the... dogs. But I guess they're dogs, after all. And maybe an intro level where you only have a few machines to mind. Love the graphics and detail. Awesome work.

Game was really nice! But i couldn't have more than 4 machines running at the same time ahaha

Funny idea and interesting take on the theme! I love the graphics, they are really well done. Gameplay was okay, I wish there was more alert or something when machines turn off. Everything is now so sudden, bankruptcy happens so quick I had any idea what I did wrong. Overall needs bit tweaking but fun and beautiful game still.

Those adorable dogs playing arcades and then going for snacks and then playing more arcades, that's the best thing I have seen in a while, thanks! The game turned out much better than I expected, I recommend everyone to try it.

Very great graphics and cool idea.

faemir 2017-08-11 20:35

A dog arcade? Good use of theme, fantastic graphics and sound? How did you manage this for a jam! Well done!

rixud 2017-08-11 21:08

fantastic art and music! the gameplay is simple, i think didn't have a win condition? just play till you lost ?... Good job :thumbsup:

aflatthrasher 2017-08-11 22:18

Yes, @rixud, no win condition. Just try to last as long as you can!

Definitely the most original game ! :)
