Though I think you set a great vibe in the first level! Though I kind of lost that vibe after finding the kick button. I think a more powerless character would go better with the spooky style and sound design. Well done on your entry :thumbsup:
I tried to keep the dog, but I didn't succeed. It could not jump over the lake. You can just teleport the dog behind the screen if it is far away.
I like the idea that in this dark world has a little friend who will be next to me and be able to defend.
If you add simple AI for the dog, such as growling or attack enemies, or vice versa whine and fear. This will strengthen a sense of attachment to the dog. 🐕
Let me know if you change anything in the game. I'll be happy to play again.
@uchiro I know that the dog's AI is not the best AI in the world. However, me and my friend plan to develop the game further and add more features to the game. We just put that dog in the game for a little gimmick. We didn't think further fur the jam but definetely that dog will have more abilities other than just following the player. I will let you know if we have any news to share! Cheers!
@space-wumpus The reason why the main level is repetitive is that it is procedurally generated lol. Thanks for your comment. RIP dog.
