Its a cool game, had a fun walking dogs. Now I just need to learn how to skate.

The controls were good but sometimes I couldn't pass through some tight areas. Also.. The dogs that poop <3

I like the choose your own difficulty/reward system. As I understand theres not much to do with the earnings, other than just having it as a score, of how long you actually played the game, so theres nothing stopping you from walking only one dog and easily gain money.

I love the art, especially the low poly trees in the background. Other thing I would welcome is better use of the camera, basically jumping just screws you since you are not able to see the ground/level at all. So I would rather see the level instead of sky and trees.

Otherwise controls are responsive and "leash spring" is a nice addition. Good job!

Interesting take on the platformer genre. The game has nice animations and models, and the sounds are OK. I really like that the player character is so lazy that they walk the dogs while skating :D. Nice little game.

The controls are really finnicky, it is often unclear when I will be able to clear a jump or when it's possible to go through a small opening. This removes a lot of agency, and the best strategy I found was to just spam spacebar and hope for the best.

This is more than a dog-walking sim. It's a skateboarding-dog-walking sim. And I love the cover art. Very clean and attractive palette, with some nice LP models. That leash has quite a bit of lee-way. The levels are challenging, and the theme is fitting. There are some humorous notes in there as well especially with the different quirks the dogs carry. Nice job.

I think you need a better level desing and music. Other than that amazing game for a compo. Good job and good luck in the future
