This was a fun demo!
This was a fun game--very charming little demo and unique protagonist. Bonus points for making the dog a green outline in your menu screen.
I thought the music was creative but in general it kinda felt more rock-and-roll and fast-paced--I think I'd have expected a more action-oriented area or even a boss.
The jump feels a little "fast" going up and down; I would probably recommend a slightly more "floaty" jump.
But once again very charming; following to see what you do next with this or otherwise!
Thank for the review, both here and on your video. That main song totally got a way from me and is going to be boss music in the final game. It was so not what I was going for tonally but that was just like where i ended up when making it. So right about the jump too, gotta get that feeling nicer.
Good game, I enjoyed it! Your game always has this unique sense of originality. I can tell you put a lot of passion when making this piece of art. I appreciate your games' use of original composition (which is underappreciated in the game dev community IMO). I can feel the touch of passion and good feel you probably when through when making them!
Keep up the great work! :D
Thanks so much Cryodawn! I always appreciate your comments. I think it was partially playing Moon Spirit that made me want to take a shot at making a quadrupedal protagonist! Hope you've been well!
I don't see any credit for the voice actor.
You are totally right, just fixed that.
I don't see no good boy's name, just saying.
I checked the page again and the person I got the dog bark from never gives a name for their dog. If you mean within the context of the game, I imagined it more like the dog is named whatever you want them to be.
Fito it is
A fantastic name!
