I really liked the game, but damn, I was not expecting the ending! Is it possible to defeat the last bad guy?
Reviews for "The Last Dog"
Sorry but the pong mechanic is just way too annoying to play with.
this is a pretty cool game! pretty short so for me personally the story feels a bit rushed, but it works for being made in only 2 weeks. the gameplay is the most interesting part, the pong-style takes some time getting used to but it's a really unique battle system and i like that keeping a combo up increases the damage! the only thing i'd say is that the characters have a bit too much health, it didn't rly feel like i needed to dodge? but i guess it's not too big of a deal since the game is more focused on story, with the gameplay being more of a concept.
overall, neat game! i wouldn't mind seeing this concept evolved more!
Reporting a couple bugs:
diologue after saving the girl is all distorted, something along the lines of "there shouldnt be anymore ###########" with the hashes being weird dmgd text thats all stretched.
The slime boss also can get stuck going up and down quickly killing the dog / person
and the Spirit at the end says "/|\/|\/|\ it is as it should be"
Textures break on the ending with the line- paraphrased for spoilers, "thought youd be here longer"
once you past The end, the game just freezes, assumingly.
Stepford responds:
It is a little buggy, but that's due to the game being made in Gamemaker 1.4 rather than Gamemaker 2 which has much better HTML5 support.
The game also doesn't freeze at the end. That IS the end. : P
i wanna cry like genuinely
