The Good Boi by Pixelome
The days of the farm are behind him, but that won't stop Dogo from doing what he does best. He is going to be a good boy...

Help the neighborhood sleep by rounding up all of the noisy cats. Your bark is a mighty tool!

Herding cats ain't easy, but somebody's gotta do it!

See if you can beat all five levels!
This is my first longer game jam, I'm pretty pleased with what I've achieved in 48 hours. Although, there were a few bumps along the way.

The mood was supposed to be a bit lighter. I planned to add a lighthearted chase song (a'la Benny Hill) but I ran out of time and I suck at making music ;)
don't forget to check my game too ;)
@zax thanks. Will do ;)
@shelvid Yes you are :D
@dario-zubovic kad je prosao LD cu da se naspavam ;)
I had a problem where pressing space often did not bork. Seemed like it was usually when I was holding down movement keys or just changed directions, but I could not narrow it down. It was definitely not due to being out of power, just sometimes wouldn't bork. I ended up changing my strategy to just constantly tap space instead of carefully place my borks, and then was able to get through all of the levels.
Love the bork sound =).
I experienced the problem with the space key sporadically. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to investigate.
Additionally it would general be good to have the controls listed in the page description, to have people also while playing recheck which keys can be pressed.
@ballin thanks, I constantly readjusted the time limit. Luckily I had a few beers and tried playing the game, then I realized that it's too hard and raised the time limit by about 50%. Maybe I should have had one more ;)
@phaix hmm, on a mac cmd+D adds a shortcut so there should be no conflict, but I haven't checked on other platforms. Arrows were listed in the controls but the web version font doesn't display them. As per your suggestion, I have updated the description to show the goal and controls. Thank! :)
Great Graphics btw. for a compo game - i am really impressed what you did.
I found the handling to be a bit hard to master to make the cats move the way we want them too. Otherwise, a pretty strong and fun entry.
Congrats on being a good boi! ;)
@linky439 thanks, I didn't manage to add music which is why the atmosphere feels off to many people. Maybe next time ;)
@prodigalson Thanks :) There are plenty of dogos available for hire in your local alley or pound ;)
