The Dog Whistler by BridgeOnAStick

[raw]
made by BridgeOnAStick for Ludum Dare 55 (COMPO)

GAME DOESNT LOAD ON ldjam.com, PLEASE EITHER DOWNLOAD OR USE LINK BELOW FOR itch.io PAGE WHERE IT DOES WORK (on chrome)

The game where you summon dogs to their owner by making the sounds they react to! It's not morse code or anything, with the letters forming words which summons new things in the world. Not at all.

I guess overscoping is a thing :)

Can't seem to load this, what browser did you use to test?

The idea seem fun, and I had fun trying it. But making the right sound is really difficult.

@myse It doesn't seem to work on this site, I have added a link to itch where it does work (on chrome), or you can download the exe. Thanks for the heads-up!

Really cool concept, but I couldn't get the whistling to work consistently.

This is one of my favorite interpretations of the theme yet. Is there a specific goal? This game is a little mysterious. As I understand it, each dog has a specific code that will call them? My goal was to eventually summon all of the dogs; I only wish they were colored slightly differently so I could know which ones I had already called

I like the art and overall atmosphere too. Great!

The game is gorgeous and I like the use of the theme. But how to actually play was unclear for me. I got a tone by clicking and I couldn't tell why the dogs were responding how they did or how to elicit certain behaviors. I guess I'm no dog whistler. :sob:

I was mashing the key for a while, managed to summon a couple dogs, then as I finally "took the scene in", the old guy, all the honking, dogs running, I had quite a laugh. Cozy concept, although the timings are hard to figure out. Based visual repr. 4.5/5 overall, if it wasn't for unknown timings on the signaling. :thumbsup_tone1:
