I made this as an English learning activity for the students I teach at the Kobe City School for the Blind, in Japan. It features a lot of voice acting by one of those students.

This is playable by people with full vision as well of course, and has a "lights off" mode for those who want to experience what it'd be like for my students with vision impairments to play this game. It's pretty challenging.

10 levels, 3 game modes, 2 game options. This is a puzzle game, and a teaching tool, not an action arcade type thing, so don't expect anything overly fast. Also, the graphics have been kept simple in order to maximise visibility, so don't expect anything overly flashy.

- Use arrow keys to move your character.
- Run into walls in "Practice" or "Challenge" modes for directions from your dog, or stand still for a few seconds.
- Click the screen to skip cutscenes or to ask your dog where you are (what building is nearest to you).

Don't blame the game for being Japanese. It's not the game's fault. I made it that way.

And I think I see someone else who needs to "lear" English.

Who else thinks the dog should speak this chinese stuff and the human English =D Also nothing ground breaking or new or entertaining for that matter. Try again...

Well, I didn't make this with Newgrounds, or English-speaking students even, in mind. I did at least put some English subtitles on the JAPANESE (*not* Chinese) parts of the cutscenes for you.

Maybe you should try reading the author's comments again.

"IDEAS"

date: July 11, 2008

Let the guy smack & kick the dog for a boost of extra speed. But have a healthbar so it would eventually die from overbeating.
After playing this I'm glad I'm not blind, I hate dogs.
