Very cute game! I love it!

It's super funny to throw away the doggos with the water gun <3

Congrats team, very nicely done!

0nironauta 2018-04-24 16:35

Amazing 3D art, congrats. Funny and beautiful. I should explain controls ingame, maybe in menu.

pestodesign 2018-04-24 20:38

The dogs are very cute, and I like the FPS references too: I instantly knoew that G is for "throw grenade" I mean rubber ball :dog: :smiley: The game has a good rhythm, it created a nicely balanced chaos, I was constantly running around for my phone and answering the door and cleaning the dogs.

One question: what is the purple smoke? **** **Here is our game feel free to check it out: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/jumpcard**

So cute! I love using the water gun to bounce them arround. Really frantic too, once you have more than one dog. Great graphics and good coding, congrats!

rha 2018-04-25 07:45

@pestodesign Thanks! The purple smoke is a bit unclear and we need to change that but it's supposed to mean 'boredom' or 'annoyance' at not getting enough attention (you need to throw the ball).

pestodesign 2018-04-25 08:01

@Rha Oh than I guessed correctly! :) Very nice game :)

tinycastleguy 2018-04-25 08:09

Adorable and good entry that I was not good at because I didn't realize you had to press G until after I played it. :stuck_out_tongue:

awesomealliterationalliance 2018-04-25 20:00

really cute and fun game. one minor thing: It happend two times that i lost the phone because the doggos threw it away somewhere. The graphics and animations felt very polished. Nice entry!

brback 2018-04-25 21:52

Really cool game! I'm a big fan of all the interactions you can have with the dogs. One time they got stuck on the door frame and were keeping me from answering the door, but i was able to move them with the water gun :dog:

sintel 2018-04-25 21:54

Very nice!!

Some small bugs/suggestions:

-Physics are a bit wonky sometimes i got stuck in a corner due to a dog walking into me.

-Make the phone easier to click!

-Make the balls easier to find (also why are there other balls i cant pick up?)

-Exit button doesnt work

Other than these I found the entry very entertaining and it had good polish. Visuals/audio are on point!

theamazingb 2018-04-25 22:21

Awesome game! The art in this is super cute and the music fits the game perfectly. Definitely keeping this game around. Pretty sure my friend's daughter will love it!! Took me a bit to remember how to throw the ball. Maybe right click?Pleas try ours https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/infinite-typer

ribout-horace 2018-04-25 22:56

It was awesome-ly made ! The game is pretty self-explecit (even if I still don't know how to stop dog to have the violet smoke. I think it's link to the ball but I didn't suceed in it)

Otherwise, I have so much fun in pushing everything with the water gun against wall or in the air, while running everywhere to answer phone and doors, that push to a certain feeling I can't really describe but really like, both know what to do, and don't know what I actually do, my reflex do it for me. It was really enjoyablke, and the overall graphic is just so nice ! Really, a great good job !

goat-toaster-games 2018-04-26 09:13

This was really great! The dogs were so cute and it was incredibly funny blasting them with water haha.

I did have some frustration with picking up the ball and throwing it. I feel like it may have been more enjoyable to have 3 guns, one that shoots the ball alongside the water and treat gun.

I also got a couple bugs. In-game when I pressed ESC, I got two buttons for resume or exit, but neither of them did anything when clicked. The dogs would also get a bit stuck sometimes and jitter around on the spot or get stuck in the fence.

Overall though, this was so much fun and a great submission!

mr-blue 2018-04-26 14:04

I love animals and I love this game, haha. Nice job!

landosystems 2018-04-28 02:22

Very cute game, played up past $700, but it didn't seem like there much more to it after that point. Some additional mechanics could keep this going for a while. Great art and general mood. Good work!

paulhocker 2018-04-28 02:47

this was such a cute game - but it did get repetitive - thanks for making it

beebo-studios 2018-04-28 12:25

Maybe I'm just being stupid here, but how do I answer the phone? I guess there should be a left click interaction that somehow does not show for me?

rha 2018-04-28 17:16

@beebo-studios Hi, yes you should be able to see a message in the centre of the screen saying 'pick up phone' when you look at it, then click it.

rha 2018-04-28 17:29

Wow, we didn't have time to log in this week, thanks so much everyone! We're very happy to see y'all liked the game : D looking into those bugs now.

sintel 2018-04-28 18:24

I also spent like 10 minutes staring at what is apparently a nintendo switch, thinking it was the phone.

beebo-studios 2018-04-28 23:41

Thanks @sintel, turns out that was my exact problem. Now I feel stupid... But I'm also glad I came back, because, boy, is there a game to find here! Your game just warms the heart, if there is a special award for cutest LD entry, I bet all my fish it will be yours! I'm not lying if I say this game is just as cute as Slime Rancher - and you managed that in just 72 hours! The doggos are so adorable. I love how they roll around when you use the water gun. Well, actually I love everything about them. Everything. Also I laughed out loud when my first client was apparently a ten year old boy who had to attend an important business meeting.

My biggest criticism is that the phone is a little hard to find. Or at least that the Switch is to easy to mistake for a phone. Oh, and the exit button doesn't work.

Your game just makes me happy, thank you for that <3 I will definitely be keeping it long after this Ludum Dare.

swav-gav 2018-04-29 11:57

This game is GAME OF THE YEAR. It gets so hectic with all the doggos wanting attention. I swear one of them ate my god damn phone! I couldn't find it anywhere after they knocked it off the table haha. Incredibly fun, well done!

Check out my team's game if you get the time! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/check-please

lost-dutchman-software 2018-04-29 18:39

Its so hectic and fun!

csanyk 2018-05-02 23:29

I can't answer the phone or the door to save my life. Even when the words "Answer the door" appear on the screen, I click but all that happens is a bone shoots out. This game looks so good but I can't play it because these two essential features are broken. :(:(:(:( Then when I tried to click Exit, that doesn't work either. Maybe Unity is borken?

le-american 2018-05-03 00:11

this is so cute but so overwhelming haha took a while to figure out where the phone was and how to answer it and where i could fill the guns up (also the part where you can throw a ball but only sometimes??) but its just so cute and i love those cute puppers!!

jaimuepe 2018-05-03 06:06

@csanyk hi! In the jam version the exit button is broken, yes, but the phone/door should work. Just in case, que phone is outside the house, in a little table, not to be confused with the Nintendo switch which is near the TV.

@le-american hi! Thanks for playing :) what do you mean you can only throw the ball sometimes? Some kind of bug? You can only carry three balls at once, maybe you didn't have any?

bbaf 2018-05-08 17:42

Wow, this game is super cute and fun. Loved it really much.

csanyk 2018-05-10 02:38

OK I played again. I was trying to pick up the Nintendo Switch instead of the phone. Maybe just omit the Switch from the game so people don't get confused?

I found that the mouse-look speed was too slow, and would have felt better if it was a little more sensitive.

I didn't like switching between the water gun and the treat gun, and the ball throwing. It would have been better if these were all accessible by different buttons, so you could do them without the need to switch weapons.

I think there's a bug with the Exit routine, because when I tried to do it, the game kept on running. I had to Alt+F4 out of the game.

Overall, I loved it, these are minor issues, but things that should be addressed, and can be fixed with minimal effort. A+ overall.

Cute game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 41 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIle2FLl2RM

cristiano-m-garcia 2018-05-13 20:44

Good job! Cool game!

I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.

I hope you continue with the project.
