The pixel art was adorable, the sounds were great- and I loved the music! I was also really impressed by the paralax scrolling effect on the background. It's a wonderful little effect that makes your game feel so much more polished.\n\nGood job to everyone involved! :D","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"mattdotam","author_uid":"1168981","time":"2019-10-08T03:27:48Z","epoch":1570505268,"modified":1570505268,"text":"Top dogs indeed!

Is it possible to get past that big cliff? The music and pixel art were delightful, although the sound effects got a bit loud sometimes.\n\nThe controls were a bit rough, but I enjoyed the mechanic of getting new movement options!

I found them a bit unresponsive, making the jumps really hard to perform.\n\nWith this in mind, its quite understandable that the problem is due to the jam timeframe. Managing to develop in a team as well participating for the first time is also quite complex.\n\nCongrats on the team work and finishing a game in time for the jam!","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld45\/168293-a638d227f4b36692729985239dd4adc7.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=18Axnyj0gyvFPHRabJBGL2HujH-8jh1F2","text":"Youtube"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1p2SUddyrlASJEMH1Crjf-8WkwlM2qWfD","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"56192","g_author":"1168284","g_event":"LD45","g_eventkey":"78","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"264216","g_title":"Top Dog","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"10","g_site2_node_id":"168293","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"168293","n_urlkey":"264216","n_parent":"159347","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/45\/top-dog","n_slug":"top-dog","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"168284","n_created":"1570226526","n_modified":"1570507970","n_version":"521236","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":168293,"parent":159347,"superparent":9,"author":168284,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2019-10-07T21:33:57Z","created":"2019-10-04T22:02:06Z","modified":"2019-10-08T04:12:50Z","version":521236,"slug":"top-dog","name":"Top Dog","body":"Welcome! \n\nThis is our first Ludum Dare submission, Made by Adrian Lopez-Rivera, Manny Lopez-Rivera, Brandon Priester, and myself. \n\nDetails:\n\nA goofy platformer where you play as a sentient hot dog who was genetically engineered by a rather incompetent food scientist to become the best hot dog you can be via collecting ingredients, giving you power-ups like interesting movement options.
