Nice solid simple game. I liked the graphics and the vibe overall. One thing that I noticed was that the dropping enemies tended more often than not land behind me and woudln't danger me at all then.

Very cute game! Love the amount of polish put in and the idea of dogs protecting their human is pretty funny!

absolutely great game!

Nice! I'm bad at games so I survived for maybe 30 seconds though.

Almost beat it! Really well done! Loved it! And the enemies kept it interesting! :)

Really funny and simple game, likethe graphics and there is a dog holding a gun, that has to be something somehow

Really adorable! I like the switch of roles as you protect your human instead. Will be coming back to play it again!

Simple but hilarious idea, and lovely pixel art !

The art is great. It's hard to believe you made this in a weekend! Great job.

Stunning style and effects, amazed by the graphic component of this game. The gameplay is good. It’s really interesting to play!

The art is cute and the gameplay is great! I like it.

Great art, great gameplay. Overall game is simple yet refined. A 5-star rating. I don't see any negative aspects of the game. You can only get inspired from this.

Aside this, what do you think of Godot? Is it good to work on this engine?

very good game, I like the concept and especially the graphics!

A charming style, and humorous premise! Perhaps the human could be dragged forwards or backwards a bit as you move, so as to help in dodging.

This was fun and cute! Pretty easy but not too easy, I took a few hits during the game ahah, so it's good and balanced! The pixel art is very cute! Also yay, dogs are now the ruler of Earth o/

Very good game with very nice concept graphics and nice gameplay

Nice art, fun gameplay - really good overall. I liked the gradual increase in difficulty and the feeling of protecting someone else rather than just yourself in a twin stick shooter. Great job!

Good implementation of a solid concept, I really enjoyed this "twin stick" shooter! The sfx were nice, but some creepy audio would've helped to sell the mood. I also wasn't quite sure if or how the health of enemies was telegraphed to the player, as even the same types of enemies seemed to require different numbers of hits. I'd also recommend that the gun "auto-shoots", so I don't have to hold the mouse button down the whole time. All told, this is a great entry, congrats! :heart:

@maryush28 I can't speak for the creator's opinion, but I _can_ highly recommend Godot as a great engine to work in. The node tree is a very intuitive way to structure and reason about the pieces of a game, in my experience so far. Also, it's tiny, loads extremely fast, and has bindings for _lots_ of languages. On top of those, it also really lends itself to CI where other engines (looking at you, Unity) tend to make CI a bear on purpose so you'll pay for their cloud build service. Not to mention it's completely free and open source!
