After playing this, I just realized I never released a dog, and now I'm wondering, why would I release a dog? I know some dogs escaped, but what's the benefit of releasing a dog? If I kept playing this, I think I'd continue to not release dogs, as I wouldn't perceive there to be much benefit. Now, maybe if I release one it's better than losing 2, but I'd figure I'd just try to hang on to all of them.

You're right, release a dog is to avoid loosing more than one. Especially if you have a superbulldog wich is super strong in your hands ^^ By the Way our tutorial is crapy...

This is pretty fun! You fit the theme well. The bouncy Fury character in the intro looked like he had to go pee haha.

I like the idea, really captures the theme :) There was a lot going on, hard to see what was happening at times, and maybe some music would really get you in the mood!

that was a clever core mechanic.good job!

Nice concept and good graphics especially with the dogs. Dogs are really annoying ^^ It's quite difficult to manage more than 8 dogs.

Good job :)

I really like the link with the theme - I haven't seen that used yet. The intro text scrolling sound is quite annoying, you could probably get away with using it if it was much quieter.

@rob-white we should have restart the level and not the game :s But you can speed up the message by pressing [space]. By the way we are glad that you likes the them ! Quick fix incoming

Overall a very hilarious entry. My favourite dog is the Super-Shiba.

The graphics are partially a bit flat/pillow shaded, but still really capture the super hero parody spirit.

This game is perfect for me, because I love dogs and I'm a super hero. (more brawn than brain, as for a long while I didn't quite understand how to switch arms and so many dogs got away.)

@thygrrr We are Super Happy to see that you liked our game; and especially Super-Shiba ! :fox:

We are pleased to show you our inspiration for the character : Super Poppy ! (one of our teammate's dog)

Managed to get 75 points. Pretty cool game! Nice balancing mechanic

Nice job and great concept ! And nice dog ;-p

gozz 2017-12-05 18:04

Haha awesome !!

Really fun concept. The game is not easy but it's for the best. I will try again to get a better score. The sound is a little annoying but not as much as my dog when she decided to bark on something.

By the way she approves the game even if it lacks some super-akita too

The second game about multiple dogs i'm playing today. The intro is a bit long and the sound soo loud. It would be cool to switch specific dogs from one hand to the other. I was not able to manage many dogs at the same time. I wonder what is the possible highest number of dogs? :)

moski 2017-12-05 19:20

I don't know what I'm doing and I'm loving it. I was laughing out loud when I had like 7 dogs pulling around, with a lot of barking and sniffing and what not.

The concept is hilarious on so many levels, from the ~~completely unmarketable~~ superhero theme and excuse plot to the actual gameplay of dogs being dogs. Is it safe to bet that you had a bit too much fun when making this?

Ah well. My team hopes that your submission is doing great. Keep up the good work!

The game is very well done, with the mechanics, the theme and the look. There is one thing that's never answered though who hired Nick Fury as a dogcatcher :D
