Just finished throwing the ball around! The engine plays really smooth, you've definitely set the mood with the white picket fences and track homes. Throwing the ball is pretty satisfying thanks to the great physics.
I could probably have spent some more time with the pupper with a few upgrades. Things that would keep me around include: currently dog gets ball based only on x axis, so throwing it up high in the air usually just results in it snapping to the dog immediately (could just use collisions with dog), stronger dog animations that help me connect with it as an entity (walk, sit, jump), environmental objects that might get knocked over or even used as a ball.
It's an elegant, compelling idea that could honestly be a great experience with a bit more dev, nicely done for a weekend's work!!
P.S. 700 megs for a jam is a bit high, LD servers are slow lol
