One of my favorite games at this Ludum Dare! I'm so wondered! 😊
That's my heart to yours, by the way)

I LOOPED THEM ALL! I wish there was some sort of check or star or something that appeared in the level select to fuel my own ego, but otherwise this was really cute and I loved the puzzles. The quick restarts were nice, too. Good work!

Tried several times could not get the levels to load :(
Menu works fine etc, but all levels are just black ...

Too bad it looks fun and reading the comments apparently is fun as well

Very fun game.
I have completed all aspects of the game.
I miss the lack of music, though.
It's a very well done game.

This is the best game I have so far! The graphics were great! The design is really well thought out!

It fits the theme perfectly. I'm someone who usually doesn't enjoy puzzle games but this game had me hooked. I will be coming back to play more.

Kudos to your team. 5 stars.

10 out 10 You guys did a fantastic job! The look, the polish, the game play! All so well done. I feel the only thing missing is kicking music. Just a great job!

This game has such an enticing gif to bring you in lol. You did a really great job with the model and how it squishes and squirms around, it's a really great effect that makes the dog feel properly chunky.

Although the levels were a bit straight forward, the reward of seeing the loops complete actually drove me to keep playing. Great concept and great execution :)

You had me at the title. XD

The puzzles are all very easy once you understand the basic mechanic but this is such a lovely, charming little game. As noted by others, I only wish the game marked your completion/progress in some fashion. The presentation is spectacular - some sound and music and this would be absolutely perfect.

I love the cute UI design and the cute 3D doooog model. Also the title is cute and match this game.

I REALLY love this. The graphics are neat, puzzles are simple but really fun to do, the dog is so cute in his stupid look! Love the final level with the maze, you could iterate on this easily. I just missed a "cancel previous move" at some points, but god I enjoyed this a ton.

What a funny idea ! And the execution is very good ! Cute graphics, fun game, you earned a 5/5 !
The only drawback I see is that levels are a bit too easy in my opinion, but I don't think the concept leaves a lot more place to level design without adding more features.

Really cute little game, poor doog has to chase his tail for eternity! :smile: I really enjoyed the experience and the game worked fluently when I played it. Lovely art too! Would be nice to have some audio if you update it in the future. Great job team!

Love the :dog: luv! Very nice lil puzzler - the graphics are off the chart cute stuff! :)

Some notes:
- Would like to see which levels I have already completed
- Dog-cookie reward when I finish all?
- Some additional mechanics to explore (dog shortening? portals? add cats to avoid/chase? birds to scare off? Dual control mutual dog-butt sniffing?)
- Some woof-fx/music

Nicely done, regardless :thumbsup:

This game is so cute I can't even put it into words!
Maybe I can describe it through barks? Bark! Baaark? Bark! Nope, doesn't work either(
The game is amazing in its concept, the visuals are super cute, the UI, which many devs overlook is really good(maybe you could show the number of the level I was playing because sometimes I was so caught up in the cuteness of the doog so I forgot what level exactly was I playing, but I just have goldfish memory, other people might not have had the same thing)

The only possibly critical?...No..Suggestive?...Advisory bark I have is that the game initially comes off as a very cute and relaxing experience and then–Boom! You have like a Shining maze, where you really need to count your turns and all.
Overall the game was a very special experience! Thank you so much! :)

First off, this game instantly deserves all the possible points in the graphics category - the clean and simple visual style works very well for it and serves the purpose of drawing all the attention to Doog, that they absolutely deserve! The critter's animation is extremely cute and just makes you want to go through the levels to see the little thing bob around the level.

I would join to everyone else around here in saying that I've certainly felt the stinging absence of sounds and, especially, music - you peeps have done a great job of creating an adorably-looking little world and having something for the ears would really help with getting into the chill flow it clearly aims to evoke.

I actually enjoyed suddenly being challenged by a maze (and yes, I did feel challenged by it) and I think that it adds a nice flourish to a simple mechanic, I think it was a good call adding it. I think that maybe having so many levels with rather trivial tasks might work to the game's detriment - you've done a good job explaining and showcasing controls so it might be more engaging to let players at "harder" content earlier on.

Regardless, Dooooog is gooooD, good job on bringing some sweetness to our lives :D

Cute game, awesome graphics! Looks pretty polished, except the bit where you return to the start screen every time. Simple sounds would help a lot I think. Puzzles are a bit easy. I never figured out why the dog is sometimes forced into a particular direction, is that a feature?

@dunderroffe we are SO sorry for the delay, but you should be finally able to play our game! Our programmer sadly recovered just now from covid and sends his apologies too!

@kolkav thank you so so much, we really appreciate the praise! <3 And you're right, our designers are evil beings that want to terrorize DoooG by giving him crazy puzzles >:(

@kopiy-that thank you for the feedback! <3 If we manage to release a complete game it will for sure have harder challenges!
Lid
27. Oct 2020 · 12:37 UTC
@loveapplegames thank you so much! <3 Yes, DoooG gets excited when it sees its own tail and goes to chase it - so you have to avoid looking at it when you don't want it to do that!
