Description

You play as a dog trying to understand your owner’s strange commands. He shows signs with poses and says made-up words, and your job is to remember the connection and respond correctly.

Each cycle tests your memory and reaction speed. The faster you recognize the "signal," the more rewards you earn. Mistakes are not punished, but they will not help you either - your owner expects precision.

Game Features

  • Random word-to-pose associations at the start of each cycle
  • Learning system: correct commands are stored and expand your "memory"
  • Always one correct choice - it is about memory, not guessing
  • Score system based on speed and accuracy

How to play

  • MOUSE - Click the icon that matches the owner's last command

This was fun. Love the textures and specifically how you have the frames kinda wobbly like Courage the cowardly dog

Lovely simple game! Really good actually. Game play is top notch and its easy to understand and enjoy. The art style is special too. Music is also really good. Really not much to say. I just found this, but its my favorite game over all games so far, because its exactly the game i play with my dog, only that i can experience her POV now.

Here is my highscore (edited after tryharding):

Nice game! I love your DA.
I felt a little silly repeating keywords out loud, but it was fun

@Kurakurture Yes!! The first time I failed at around 2k, but then I retried and tried to memorize a story for the words and it became much more simple. At 10k+ or so no more words got added, so I only failed because I was clicking too fast at some point and sometimes misclicked. :laughing:

Phew, my maximum is 2k. The most stylish game on the jam, and the music, my respects

Very interesting visual, i like the vibe and music!!! Although I like your music, it would be great to add volume controls. I also realized that my memory is like a fish's. Thank you.

tashi was my favorite word <3 Would love different levels for it with different difficulty levels. Love the humor but after a while you can only miss by missclicking on current difficulty, at least for me. Still, the vibe is on, great game! <3 My high score was 5173! :D

This was cool! It was surprising how satisfying it was. I got to 3,697 clearly can't hang with some of the other commenters lol. Nice job!

A simple idea, well executed.

That was so cool, it was well executed, really tested my memory, especially when some commands didn't appear for a while. It's really fun, loved the dog and his owner design, music was also nice.

Astonishing game! I love the concept of mnemonics and having me to do it quick and with completely gibberish words was a great amount of fun to me. The visual setting (and the setting itself) is, cmon, so wonderfully silly and uniquely executed that it was a real charm to play this. Congrats on this, very well done!
