Hey there! I loved the barking sound - was that your own voice? :) It is cute pixel art, the variety of dogs is really nice, it reminded me of the 90s Tamagotchi thing that some kids where crazy about. If you want to build up on the game, you could add some "random thoughts" the dog is having? Looking into the dog's though might add another layer of humor? Great work sir :)
It's kinda weird and chaotic, and I love every bit of it! Really fun and positive little game. Love the sfx and pixel art too!
Really cute game! I was struggling a lot to keep my dog alive though, I got through one full day but the dog died the second day, and I was playing with it and feeding as fast as I could. The days lasted a bit long too with only having those two things to do, I wish I could have checked out all the stuff in the shop!
Oops - I must have been overfeeding and playing lol, I always forget to read descriptions first. I will replay and come back!
So I realized you keep your money when your dogs die which is nice, and I was much more successful this time around, my pug is still alive 3 days later! I still don't really know what I'm doing but whatever I'm doing is working. Just for the heck of it, I tried buying something even though I didn't have enough money, and it worked, so there's currently a bug where you can have negative cash and just buy everything in the shop. I really like this though, was giving me nintendogs vibes, I only wish there was a way to pet my dog by clicking or something!
This is super cool! I dig the graphics/animations, and the extra effort into making animated gifs in your page is awesome.
Oh no, I overplayed and overfed. I am a terrible human being :(. Game is pretty fun, pretty cute doggo graphics and the objects as well. I liked the music too, minimalistic but chill. Mechanics of success are a bit cryptic and I am not sure about the monetary aspect of the game, but it still was pretty fun to play.
It was a really nice simple pet management game. The dogs looke cute but otherwise the game lacked on the graphical side. Music was nice and the barking at the main menu made me giggle, but the game lacked alot in giving audiovisual feedback. It was not clear alll the time what the dog needed, so I mostly ended up just feeding them and throwing the ball in a random order. There could have also been a timer for when the day ends, as it was really hard to determine how long the day would last. Shop felt like an afterthought. Overall really nice small pet management game, I enjoyed it for a couple of minutes. #TeamCorgi
Nice little game. I got a Corgi named "Butt" who remained unhappy despite being fed about 40 bones a day and spending approximately 12 hours playing with the ball. Butt was a miserable little sh*t just like my real dog. So 10/10 for accuracy. Nice pixely art and simple but effective music and sounds. Sometimes the ball was a bit unresponsive to mouse clicks but that's about it. Good work!
I liked the dog song at the beginning and nice puppy art. I felt that I was missing something and there was more than just feeding and playing with ball? Very good effort.
I love the humor and art. It really takes the experience to the next level! The game is quick to understand and get the hang of, and so I found myself having fun with it right away. I think it's great!:)
5 different pups is impressive and they all looked and animated great. Music was chillin, except maybe a bit loud on the menu. I would have loved more feedback sound from feeding/ball playing. Good interpretation of the theme, I've been wanting to make a game like this for some time! I played on PC and the ball was kind of awkward to throw, just required lots of fast mouse movement with little feedback on the ball to show I was throwing it wrong/that it was even selectable.
I went negative in the shop and bought all three things immediately. What is the rainbow looking thing, a toy? I didn't see how the bed, food, or toy helped the pup - I still felt like I had to play and feed it just as much. I also appreciate the save aspect because I accidentally exited the game by pressing escape trying to close the shop more times than I care to admit.. another bug was I accidentally "Dragged" the treat/food off the game screen (other monitor) and could no longer feed my pooch. The treat should maybe destroy after some time and let you feed again.
Cute take on the theme, I unfortunately had some issues with my first dog "Sir Doggo mc dogface", but that was because I overfed him. I did not make the same mistake with "Sir Doggo mc dogface the second". The animations and artstyle are coherent and the pupps are really cute. The music fit the game very well, and so did the sound effects.
Great job! :dog:
I guess i shouldn't own a dog anytime soon :(. Cute game, love the main menu!
Great game! Reminded me of Nintendogs, which I haven't played in like a decade. I feel like you cheated to get over 600 points in that gif though XD I just wish there was a way to see how much longer each day was. I was constantly worrying that I'd lose my dog before the end of each day.
