Did you know during WW2 dogs would jump out of airplanes with parachutes behind enemy lines? A Dog's Tale is an HTML5 game about a trained soldier-dog clearing out the terrain before the main force can come in.
Control the dog using the arrow keys or WASD. Hide in the bushes to avoid getting shot.
EDIT: If you can't play because of the browser scrolling around, use the WASD keys or click on the WEB link just below the entry.
EDIT2: Seriously, just click the Web link, it plays so much better. :)
Pretty cool concept. Yeah when I die I go to what I presume is doggy purgatory, but I have to refresh the page to restart. My input also registers on the page as well as the game, making it difficult to move. Not sure if this is something you can fix in code or is an issue with the site.
I definitely need to add a bit of sound, music and polish all around. There's only so much you can do on your own in 48 hours! Thanks for the feedback, guys.
madameberry: you're getting shot by a soldier. I didn't have time to make a proper shooting animation or feedback, so pretend they're shooting you with their mind-powers. :)
A fun little stealth game. I thought it was a bit hard/unfair because I couldn't figure out the rules for when the soldiers could see me, and (especially) because they'd just turn randomly sometimes -- I wasn't even able to finish the first level because with three guys in the box at the end, it seems like mostly luck..? I did really like the character models and animations, though!
Neat game. Nice graphics. Insta-death felt a little harsh. Perhaps a small transition/animation would work. Liked how quickly you could replay though. Nice job!
Needed some time to figure out I was supposed to kill the soldiers instead of sneaking past them (my bad), but then it all made sense. Fun gameplay, I just wish the AI was a tad more complex instead of those simple and often weird walk patterns. Otherwise pretty cool, and nice visuals.

Starting on Firefox, but nothing happens, even if I press space or WASD oder arrow keys.
ssheep: You're supposed to attack the enemies to win.
Firefox console says: "TypeError: event.keyIdentifier is undefined"
The game was quite challenging. Would have liked some indication of whom spotted you.
