YOU ARE DOG.

You were playing fetch with your best friend when he suddenly vanished. You're on the trail, you're going to get him back. Hurry!

Keyboard (QWERTY)

  • Arrow Keys - Move
  • Z - Jump
  • X - Bark/Throw Ball/Interact
  • S - Drop/Pick up ball


Controller:

  • Up/Down/Left/Right - Move
  • A - Jump
  • B - Bark/Throw Ball/Interact
  • Y - Drop/Pick up ball


NOTE: Due to a bug, Xbox1 controllers have to use the control stick to move. Accidentally tapping the control pad will bring up an annoying TIC-80 menu. If you'd prefer to play the game with this bug fixed, try the itch version. (The bugfix doesn't work on Newgrounds for whatever reason.)


If you'd like a different experience, turn on Double Jump mode!

You can turn on Double Jump mode by holding X (A key) and pressing [Up]. This mode will grant you a second jump mid-air after regular jumps and wall jumps. High scores will be marked with a Double Jump icon if you had it on at any time during the run.


Double Jump mode can also be used for another speedrun category as best times are stored separately!


Has your ball disappeared or is unreachable?

Never fear! Ancient canine magic is available to you! Simply hold X (S key) and press [Down] and your ball will be teleported to your feet. But beware, a full 3 minute time penalty will be applied. All magic comes at a cost!

Phenomenal game, never seen anything quite like it. the music is peak and so are the graphics. a simple game, but it mixes a happy go lucky style with some type of eerie and unsettling mystery, thats the best way to describe it, it reminds me of berserk. The art is grotesque, but unique and ubiquitous, really adding to some dark sensation which slowly flips the switch and eases you in.

Honestly, my only complaint is how against newcomers this game is. i beat it in under 15 minutes and got all endings sure. But when the game is so strict, theres no challenge. Theres no fun in getting a better time since the game forces you to get the best time anyways. this needs to be fixed so the game is less dark with a sense of hope, maybe that was the point but it just doesn't work.

Really digged the ending though. It captures the feel perfectly, Makes me assume there could be a sequel. i seriously love this world and wanna see more of it.
Overall score: 8/10

I must say that this is a really cool game that started innocent and lovable to evolve into something more disturbing. I love it but what I liked the most were the challenges at the castle especially starting from "jump of the faith". There it became even more interesting and challenging. I liked a lot the simple 2-D graphic of the platform game but I could also admire details of the background, I loved the shading and texture that gave a nice realistic effect.

Sadly I didn't get the secret ending, and the normal ending was heartbreaking especially after the dog's efforts. I will replay it again because I want to test my skills and unlock the secret ending. I will definitely explore other games of yours because they look intriguing and mix disturbing elements with high artistic creativity. Keep it up!

the ice physics after the herb made me quit out immediately ngl lol BUT this was a dope experience and a very cool game.

great game!

Whoever made this game is an asshole. It hooks you in with a cool story and nice graphics but the gameplay is next to impossible. My fingers are tired from spamming the left and right arrow keys lmao.
