Your game looks good, but I will add something like overheating the lighthouse or something.

I'm not really sure of the gameplay here. I couldn't tell that clicking was doing anything, dogs just kept floating towards the lighthouse and being saved regardless of what I did.

Of course I had to try out the game of my namesake buddy :)

I felt like I got robbed of quite a few puppy lives. Sometimes they got to the island with their cutesy woof and the number didn't go up. Still felt the need to keep clicking away until someone else showed up to take my place. I also decided to add a new mechanic to make it more interesting and played it like a rhythm game.

The music was weirdly interesting. There was something it that instrument that was surprisingly compelling to me. The music could have looped better. Did you thing no one would play long enough to hear the whole song a couple of times? :D

I liked the graphics and the music was oddly compelling. However, the lighthouse doesn't go out very fast, so there's little challenge in keeping it lit. I would suggest adding something that disrupts the lighthouse to make it more challenging.

I liked the idea of other players possible on the game although i did not get to experience it. I also enjoyed the music. good Job

This game is a profound thriller. The emotional decisions the player has to make are genuinely gripping. Accept the role as lighthouse keeper and vow to keep puppies alive? Or abandon your post and go on with your life, knowing that you're leaving puppies to die? 10/10 a narrative masterpiece.

That thing is going to end badly for puppies

Much too easy... Maybe add some more mechanics?

I do enjoy the concept of having multiple people online all working to the same goal, unfortunately, I didn't get to experience it. I like the concept, but the gameplay itself felt rather stale after the first minute or so. Maybe a few more features like storms, different breeds (worth different points), not allowing the dogs to collide into each other, having to manage dogs coming in and leaving or something like that. Neat concept, just build on it a little :)

A very clever concept that could be greatly expanded into an impressive clicker type game. Would love to see an updated and more fully fleshed out version of this.

The music was sick. Super long loop and a nice distortion to it. I liked the shared worldwide stats. Cool concept, just wish the gameplay was a little more involved
