There's very little game here - more of an interactive story with only one outcome.
The idea however is quirky and it did make me smile.
I'll consider this a sketch of a larger "dog-to-octupus" game, that is yet to come.
Potentially genius, but as it is, unfinished.

Most definitely, and I'll work on incorporating game play more with the concepts in the future. It basically was a rough sketch for a game that I went back over later to "pretty it up". There may not be any other dog-to-octopus games, but it's a solid first try for me as an experience.
It definitely taught me a good bit creating this.
the game wasn't very good, no replay value but i liked the message behind it. try adding some 'enemies' or give a description when you click on different items. make it a point and click game rather than a press right game.
Gallardoblend responds:
Hm thanks for the comment, while I agree that more game play aspects need to be incorporated into the game, adding enemies or making it a point and click won't solve that. It would need more game play designed around the concept and game itself, which I don't have the time to go back and do with this project.
But thank you for the suggestions, it's appreciated and I'll keep the "description for objects" bit in mind for the future.
nice job! it may be short but..nice job :)
Gallardoblend responds:
Thanks, nice to see some positivity about it despite the games length haha.
Too simple, and pointless. Bad animations (the octopus was OK)
I give this 3 stars to show my point, but being this was an experiement, I give some credit. I believe this would have been a good film, like many others, since it is less interactive and more video.
I liked the dog with hard work tied to his back. I thought him being the normal guy, going to work every day, to do a boring job just to fullfill his dreams. And every day he says to himslef today I will do sometinhg great, something extraordinary.
As he opposed the grey dogs you lost me. I just thought "what?!"
The octupus looked kinda cute.
In the end I think he wanted to break free, he wanted to be a octupus. And he finally become one, floating free, apart from the other dogs which follow their normal grey day life.
Given the little interaction you could have, this would maybe better be a movie. There are movies here that have more interaction.
