I always enjoy the goofiness and humor in your games. I particularly like the art style of this one too. Excellent work!

Very charming and silly. The actual gameplay was only mildly fun but didn't overstay its welcome and formed the act 2 of a funny story with a beginning, a middle, and an end (or maybe set-up, slapstick, and punchline?) A consistent, deliberately child-like art style and evocative sound actually speaks to great production values here.

Wonderfully artistic. I loved the music, I liked the Bob Ross visuals. "Ain't no ordinary mutt" indeed! Finished the game pretty quickly, it was fun.
Good job!

On Linux. Unable to install the `noise` package. GCC complaining about missing header files. :-(

The gameplay is simple but implemented in an outstanding fashion. The visuals and music are effective at creating an ambience fitting for the telling of a heart-warming American story, worthy of being passed down from generation to generation.

Really great experience artistically and visually, and I really loved the sound design and music: it definitely did give me an American frontier folky vibe. I loved the pastel artwork: is that from scans, or did you do that digitally? It looks super amazing and beautiful. Also, the animation of the dog jumping the river at the start was dope. The game play was also fun: it wasn't too challenging and I think that suited the vibe, but also there was a good combination of dodging and collecting, so felt like I had purpose. Thanks for sharing your games at pyweek, looking forward to the next one!

That was delightful! The art style has a lot of personality, but especially the dog. As for the lag, it felt like a slightly lower framerate than your video, but it was still quite easy to play. I didn't even notice until I compared it with the video.

Hilarious. Laughed a lot, the art was unexpected but I liked it a lot. Animation worked out well
The game focuses on a dog, instant win. But ignoring that part, the game itself is still really great, I love the art style and the animations, and the dog themself looks extremely cute and silly. The gameplay is simple and fun, and dosent stretch on longer than it has to, and the music helps increase the vibe of the atmosphere. All in all, this makes for a really great game.
