This is such a fun goofy concept Logan, I love it! I think this captures something that can happen in board games, where it feels kinda pointless to plan ahead because by the time it gets back to your turn the state of the game will be so different that your plan from last turn is no longer relevant. But it does lead you to a fun situation of making plans in a way that factors in a certain amount of chaos. And I can think of no better chaos than 100 dogs XD
I wonder how this would feel zoomed out a bit more, so you can attempt to plan a route through the maze more easily. Also wouldn't mind doggos flinging me around the course a bit more, they're pretty gentle with how they move you as is. Could also leave little presents on the course that you get stuck in or something haha
Thanks so much for playing! And thanks for the feedback: yes, I definitely think little presents could work as a mechanic ;)
Mouse wheel zooming out the camera would be nice, so I could tell what a perfect shot might be.
I think the title screen "tutorial" would function better if the fence was larger, I hit the ball backwards and did not even know it until I took an actual swing in game because it immediately reflected.
Fun silly little idea, I'm diggin it
Also the ball stops moving on the x or y early in a way that doesn't feel right. Some kind of float error or something I imagine.
Ahh, thanks for checking this out and thanks so much for the detailed feedback!
I might revisit this game after I'm done w/ my course and I'll definitely look into incorporating some of this feedback. Thanks again!
Ooh so cute and fun!!!
Thanks satpreet!
Any chance at a web playable or Mac build? 🤞🏼
