Sixxy the Puppy by vandriver

[raw]
made by vandriver for LD25 (COMPO)
Round and round, Sixxy goes, but on this night he is desirous of a deeper level of havoc. Mommy Doggy stands in the way of a spectacular night!

All arrow keys, up jumps, down barks or might do other things, maybe.

Made with game maker, sounds from bfxr. Don't lap the mommy! you still get caught, even with behemoth. I intended to make that a victory or impossible but, you know, time limits.

A bit tricky to figure out the ending, but fun and clever.

I'm not sure if you intended it or not but the game crashed right when the dog was taken out to be put down. I laughed so hard. If you did intend it, genius, if not still very funny.

Awesome! Although I must say that only after reading the comments did I realize that running away from mother was the game core - I thought it was about wreaking as much havoc, without angering mommy, as possible. The pixart graphics are really nice.

Awesome! The graphics are great. The game starts to take a pretty weird twist. I like it!

Well, this one was pretty weird. First off, I don't get how this fits under "You are the Villain", the worst thing you really do is misbehave. However, I will admit that its pretty funny when you achieve behemoth. I had a blast plowing over everything. The graphics are good and the sound effects are okay. They give me sort of an early DOS vibe. The animations on the sprites are really fluid and well done. All in all, its okay, but a bit too short. Also, please don't try to do jump scares. No one finds them funny or scary anymore.

Really awesome graphics, so smooth looking. The ending was uhh, surprising! Took me ages to get there though, and I probably wouldn't have persisted without reading the comments.

@GG love thorough critiques like this, though i'll take issue with the last comment. i make LD games mostly for myself, and i think they're funny!

i did kind of purposefully make it not intuitive what you had to do, again probably because i just like those kinds of games. i'll probably avoid doing that again for the next LD!

Nice game, it felt really intense when the mommy would begin chasing.

I really enjoyed this game, the idea was very fresh and the gameplay was solid. At first I though the background was an incorrect parallax and it flavored my perception of it, but I quickly got that it was indeed a ring.

Pretty cool game. I felt more like a victim than a villain with that giant dog chasing after me :P

Oh wow, did not expect that ending!

This game is great! It's a very cute concept, and I enjoyed the whole "figuring out the whole point of it" way that it starts. Very well done.

Did you make the bark noise in bfxr? It's very good! The animations are great, too, but the parallax background seems backward? It's a cute game:) I found it very hard to jump over dogs due to the background distracting me and moving too quickly to react in time.

You should try my Bad Puppy if you haven't yet.

Sounds didn't work so can't rate that, i like the concept though, my only real complaint is the hitboxes seem a lot larger than the dogs.
