nice game !
Pretty good, loved the art style. However, there could have been more incentive to play, like an end goal, fail condition, or high score.
Very pretty little game :). I think my puppy counter was broken, stuck on 5. I also want a little bit more to do, but I'd be lying if I didn't stay to rescue a bunch of puppies.
So good the graphics, congrats! :D Look at my game too :D
Lovely graphics, really enjoy haha
Thanks for all the comments and suggestions!
@nardandas The puppy count is there to let a player know the total number of puppies in the loop, in the current version of the game it is set to the static value of five, because there are only ever five puppies. I thought that adding the puppy count will help make it clear that puppies do not disappear or multiply, but looks like it's having an opposite effect of causing confusion. :smile:
This game has caused me to question the core of my moral foundations. Am I truly the hero here??
Cute little game, not much of an incentive to carry on playing after a few rescues as the puppies seem to almost immeditaley escape and there is no reward and no lose condition either; I think a score would of been a nice touch maybe. c:
The graphics look great! I actually didn't care about it not having an end goal, it seems like a nice game to de-stress :)
I can't seem to load the game, can you add a download version ?
Really cool art ^^
This is the most adorable game ever :smile: I had problems getting the dog move but once it started working, it was fine. This is literally like trying to put panda babies in a row for a picture / gather all your kittens to a circle - an impossible task. And that's the best. :laughing:
The game looks really nice!
Wow, more comments, thanks everyone!
@redunca I've noticed that the game won't load when the browser cache is disabled, for example when using a private browsing mode, could it be the reason why the game isn't loading for you? I've uploaded a Windows version of the game, I hope you are on Windows, because I don't think I can build for Linux or Mac, sorry :cry:
@tamail I wonder why the the dog wasn't moving at first :thinking: I've had to click on the game screen before to get the game running properly, I believe Unity iframe doesn't always get focused by the web browser, could it be the cause?
I liked your game my congratulations, I also did one if you want to know, and give me your feedback I am very grateful, this is the link https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/resurrection
@cubiclaw I for sure clicked into the game window, several times. :) Then I reset it, clicked into it, tried the controls, nothing, I smashed all the keys and all of sudden, it started moving. I have no idea what happened.
The game is so nice! I am so sad I can't save them all though ~ xD
Cute game, but I have the feeling I missed the goal of it, is there any ending? or I'm just stuck in a loop ;D?
Cute game! You should add some sound effects, it would be much better. The graphics is great, but IMO you should add some sort of a goal to the game. It would be more interesting and keep people playing, not just checking itout.
Especially liked the graphics. Music would have been nice :) The puppies are really cute.
Finally some cute doggos instead of cats ! The animations are very good (as is the art in general) it just needs some sounds to help feel imemrsed
The game is very cute. I really liked it, congratulations.
Very cute and lovely, but too bad there's no music nor real goal :(
What a wholesome game! Who doesn't love saving cute puppies, right? :D Incredibly cute, and I appreciate the simple mechanic. The graphics are definitely the highlight for me. I don't know if this is a bug or not, but sometimes puppies would get stuck before sliding down the conveyor belt. If you want to bring this game to the next level (which you absolutely should if you want my opinion), some audio effects and an end goal (like others have said) would elevate this a lot. Other than that, solid effort and great game. :D
@mycosil hey, thanks for playing our game! This is a tiny game so there is no end goal and the original idea was to make an infinite loop game to fit the theme well. We imagined that from the dog's perspective - it doesn't really understand how the puppies are stolen from the kennel or why they end up on one of the conveyor belts, it just sees a misplaced puppy and carries it back home, hence no real progress is made :slight_smile:
Several people suggested adding audio and incentive to play - thanks and we totally agree! If we were to expand the game, some nice music and barking sounds would be the first items on the to-do list, with some gameplay enhancements following shortly after. This was our first jam and we didn't have any prior game development experience so we decided to keep the scope of our first game very small to make sure we do release a game in time. We'll try to deliver something a little bit more feature rich for the next jam! :slight_smile:
Cute graphics but at first I didn't understand what was the goal of the game until I read the description below the game. I think you should make it clearer in the game, and adding a goal other than trying to maintain the pup/sec ratio.
A nice pixel style that make the game very cute! Gameplay would need some more depth. A nice game nonetheless!
Nice Graphics and good implementation of the theme. After 20-30 seconds it is just repetitive and no real motivation to play it longer. But as I see you intend to work post jam on it and it is a very solid base to work on :)
Cute game! A bit repetitive, though. Also not sure if it's a bug but I was able to pick up puppies at the lower conveyor belt so once I camped there it wasn't too hard to get puppies since they eventually pass there. Maybe some sound would have kept my attention more and a score system to make me want to do better. Overall, not bad!
super cute graphics, very nice pixel art, and funny loop idea. i missed some music
Really cute game and loved the detail of the little light at the top flashing qhen puppies go by! It's little details like that that make a game feel so much more complete! However, I would agree with previous comments that it is a little repetitive with no goal. Possibly just adding some variation into speeds would make it more interesting as well. Nice entry though! Well done!
