Got Unity to make a working version for WebGL, (stupid video players). Please play in full screen, you miss a lot of detail if not.

This game is quite fun to play and the idea is really funny. I enjoyed myself with this game and you really did a great job. The animations fit the graphics really well and the style is pritty consistant, witch is a big plus in my eyes.

The money sharks feel a little bit too frequent though, in my first playthrough I only ever encountered Money Sharks and almost no dogs or addicts. I also feel like the money sharks have a way to big of an Collider since they always seem to hit me way before they actually touch me. (The hitting could really use some kind of feedback).

This game felt weird to me personally as I am not really a fan of the whole images/meme type games, but that is my personal opinion. Objectively this game is quite good!

Great job!

the game was really fun, would be really cool if it had an artist and play tester work on it for a week as well

Good game. Буду писать на русском, ибо не знаю англиского. Игра хороша, как для JAM условий

Nice game! The intro hooked me. I wish there was a more obvious indicator for when the foes damaged you (It's kind of weird that something like that is even in this game now that I'm writing it all out but it's fine). The ending felt a bit abrupt.

That was some experience, but I enjoyed it. The ratio of dogs to dog lovers was really high in my play-through so I ended up with a swarm of dogs before I noticed the enemies attack your health.

holy crap. Did not expect that intro. Great job guys!
HiveMinds7 Oct 2019, 22:26
Okay, this submission is so awesome.
Loved the opening, the art, the music is absolute banging :fire: and fits the asthetic and pacing well.
The controls and intuition on what to do was slightly awkward.

But awesome submission!

Absolutely hilarious! Our dog loved the soundtrack! 😅

Very fun game! I loved the gameplay, the story, and the music. Played many times but still haven't beat it :laughing:

How can we compete with this? Tremendous

@jaspygames I appreciate you trying to beat it, there is an ending cutscene when you finally clear yourself of your debt which would hopefully make the attempts worth it!
Alek Kef8 Oct 2019, 20:50
Great sense of humor!:laughing: Well done! The game is very fun overall with nice music! Unfortunately the dogs sometimes get stuck while you move with them but otherwise the game plays nicely! Good job!

Nice! Not enough people to buy dogs, though. :slight_frown:

@sheepdog123 There are 8 dog addicts dotted around the map, which I thought was enough, but I have had a few others say a similar thing. Thanks for the feedback!

This was amazing :joy: :joy: :joy:

A really funny take on the theme... with doggos! How not to like it? :dog:

Gameplay itself works well, although I agree with other comments that sometimes the collision areas for the loan sharks are a bit too big. Also, the positions and roles of the characters are more or less fixed, so eventually you can just memorise a safe path from a dog shelter to the dog addicts and grind your way out of debt.

In any case, I've had a good laugh. Awesome job!

PS: Playing the HTML5 version I decided to reload the tab to watch the intro once again (:rofl:) and now it gets stuck right after the Unity logo.

Definitely fits the theme, 10/10 work my guy

BEST MEME GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED!

Fantastic work of art you've got here! This game had me laughing right from the beginning. The intro was amazing as was the concept. The movement, enemy, and dog collection mechanics were all done well. I also like the larger dogs you used to keep the player from leaving the play-area.
Thanks for this!

Seriously this is one weird puppy game. I did like the intro but the main game was a bit too weird :)

This made me laugh. Great sense of humor. The voice over is great. It was quite easy to understand the controls and the rules of the game. The need to start over from scratch is a bit upsetting though. Gave up on another death. Great job overall!
Mijdax11 Oct 2019, 20:23
Humor is absolutely perfect. 10 out of 5 :D The gameplay needs a bit more work and the "art direction" is well fitting :D Good Job

Humor and soundtrack got me very excited!

Hilarious. The intro scene didn't load right for me in the HTML5 version but was smooth sailing when I downloaded the windows exe instead. The lack of Snoop Dogg in this game is criminal.
