Once upon a time a boy, who loves dogs, met a tiny pug on his way. It was so cute, he decided to play with him. Warm feeling appeared between them, a tiny thread that connected two worlds. Made by halfbus: http://halfbus.co

Neat game, I really liked the art-style.

Can't seem to get past the second puzzle, couldn't figure out how to do the dogs part with the >> symbol? Other than that, seems really fun! Enjoyed the co op gameplay!

The graphics and audio are great, but I got stuck on the second puzzle.
I pressed all the buttons a few times and couldn't get the ">>" to trigger. Not too sure what it means. Would like to know what happens past that...

Like the idea! And a nice cover image.

@Literal Games Damn, we've forgot to add to instruction. Right Shift + Movement buttons is for running,

Art is is very characteristic and cute. I like the premise of the whole puzzle thing, but I couldn't get past the second one. So maybe a bit hard? Got a bit overwhelmed by how buttons there were, but it's probably something to get used to.

Can't complete the second puzzle too :( Not rating because it seems awesome and I'm going to play it after it's fixed :)

I liked the controls and animations. Also the graphics.
Almax2726 Aug 2014, 14:01
I don't even. Random, but surprisingly fun :D controls are quite cumbersome though, especially when playing by yourself lol

That was quite tricky to control, but the graphics are cute and the sounds are quite amusing. My wife controlled the dog and kept weeing on me (as a dog I mean, not IRL).

Great concept and artwork. Very memorable music and sounds)

Reminds me of that game Brothers. Well done.

The graphics and animations are truly lovely. The controls, although perhaps initially overwhelming, quickly become intuitive and usable. (And what is it about piss buttons that make them so fun? The dog must have gargantuan bladder considering the amount of times I made him pee just for the giggles. Terribly childish, I know.) I wasn't overly keen on the puzzles, I must admit, but they weren't that bad. Overall, however, it's a really good entry. I do imagine it would have been great to have played this two player.

I love the idea of controlling two different characters with the same controller! Nice work!!

Interesting idea. But playing keeping 20 buttonsin mind is a bit tricky. Btw, art style and humor are really cool :)

Nice job! Great art, audio was pleasant.... will try to actually give it a go multiplayer when I get home from the office.

Sweet audio and visuals, really nice. It's quite fun to play single player too!

Very cute art style... solo play was a little tricky because my brain has a hard time with double control sets like this. Great work though, interesting take on the theme!

Cute game, I loved solving the puzzles but the implementation of the theme is very confusing. The friendship between a human and a dog is already a connection between two worlds, the portal appearing in the end is too far-fetched and serves no purpose in the game.

The different actions are super cool! Very well done and it's pretty funny hahaha
Nice music and graphics. Also, interesting idea about using actions to solve the puzzles ^^

There are a lot of controls! O_O Really nice graphics though! I included it in part 24 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/3RN80xyak-c

Nice coop game! The puzzles were entertaining and the visuals neat. Lots of animations there, great work!
sephyka15 Sep 2014, 17:42
Hehe really fun. Caution, because it's difficult to control correctly the character with an AZERTY keyboard, it might be good with arrows control too. Animation and mood are really fun!
