Can't seem to load this, what browser did you use to test?

The idea seem fun, and I had fun trying it. But making the right sound is really difficult.

@myse It doesn't seem to work on this site, I have added a link to itch where it does work (on chrome), or you can download the exe. Thanks for the heads-up!

Really cool concept, but I couldn't get the whistling to work consistently.

This is one of my favorite interpretations of the theme yet. Is there a specific goal? This game is a little mysterious. As I understand it, each dog has a specific code that will call them? My goal was to eventually summon all of the dogs; I only wish they were colored slightly differently so I could know which ones I had already called

I like the art and overall atmosphere too. Great!

The game is gorgeous and I like the use of the theme. But how to actually play was unclear for me. I got a tone by clicking and I couldn't tell why the dogs were responding how they did or how to elicit certain behaviors. I guess I'm no dog whistler. :sob:

I was mashing the key for a while, managed to summon a couple dogs, then as I finally "took the scene in", the old guy, all the honking, dogs running, I had quite a laugh. Cozy concept, although the timings are hard to figure out. Based visual repr. 4.5/5 overall, if it wasn't for unknown timings on the signaling. :thumbsup_tone1:
