Very funny simple game! Only the left Ctrl works for some reason (I made the mistake of using the right one and did nothing on my first try, woopsie) My one major frustration is when my dog dies, when I press R to reset, the characters on the screen freeze and I have to reset the game to try again. Besides that I get a huge kick out of that doofy dog.

Hi @melangetic, I have fixed those issues now. That must have been frustating. Thanks for pointing them out.
Glad you still enjoyed the game.

So sweet! The sound effects are awesome, graphics are cute and the animations are great. Very enjoyable little game. But I should really train my dog better! I say to him: "No, bad Sparky, don't go into the monsters. Monsters bad, punch doggie". But he doesn't care at all ;)!

Sparky died on my first try. But afterwards I got Scooby and he fared better!

Oh, and almost forgot - attacking with Ctrl feels kinda strange.

That's totally "Jonh Wick The Game"? :laughing:

That's a cute game. I enjoyed smashing some enemies, like One Finger Death Punch style. Continue that way :wink:

I must say that I actually quite enjoyed this little game. I loved the splat effect that was there for when an enemy got destroyed and all the sprites looked great too.

The uppercut was a cool idea but because it can attack enemies walking as well as flying, it sort of makes the normal punch a bit redundant. Maybe making the uppercut not work on ground enemies would make it more challenging. Apart from that, my only other criticism would be that I felt the game was too short; but that is probably the best criticism anyone can give you.

All in all, nice work!

Thanks for playing the game and the feedback.

Cute, simple, funny game with the John Wick vibes. I agree with that using uppercut makes normal punch a bit redundant. Nice work!

Cute graphics, the enemies reminded me a bit of super meat boy character, i felt like defending my dog against them x). It's nice to play a beat them all game, that the first one i found on this jam and i like the genre. The score doesn't reset when i died, is this on purpose. Anyway nice entry !
