the dog cannot read ):

Wow what a cute dog! Why are they sending him though traffic to communicate though? There must be a better way.

LOVED this way of storytelling. Damn, I just really liked this. The music was really relaxing and the art was really impressive.

Great entry!

I enjoyed the simplicity of the gameplay and the art. It was very relaxing to play through. I admit that I didn't quite understand what the end meant, but still, a really nice polished game.

Like frogger with a dog. Dogger? Or like, husker? <- My thought process before the ending hit me.

That was a really beautiful and surprisingly emotional game. Simple gameplay loop, yet with the little story attached to it, you have more than enough motivation to keep going to see what happens next. Thank you for the experience!

Ah, that was sad. It felt like everything had been thought about in terms of the art, music, story and theme. For one it felt like they were all tied together through the design "principle" of less is more (2 colours, symmetric gameplay, only 4 words per letter, and the sounds), but of course also just the senses of a dog. The difficulty increasing organically with letters covering a bit of the screen also made a lot of sense, and really just a complete package. I even found myself guessing how good or bad their relationship was going.

Oh my god, you're not supposed to make me feel these feelings :( Very effective, narritively! I NEVER saw it coming. It was like, alright...some lovers, sure...okay, maybe it's about moving? Or some other life change? Let's see...but that ending (I wont spoil it here for some curious feedback readers that still have not played it) hit me like a truck! Gameplay wise quite simple, sure, but it's clear that the message and the twist were your focus, which I can respect. Still, gameplay WAS fun, I especially liked how the parts of the letters you unlock going further across the street actually had the additional purpose of making it harder, because you had less time to react to cars. For improvements I'd say change the obstacles up more, maybe adding additional patterns or whole new hazards to the road. But then again, maybe it would take away too much from the focus on the narrative.

Well done, I really like this entry!

Short, cute and nice!

I'm glad that I checked the comments and gave this a second play through. That ending levels this submission up. Art is beautiful and after reaching the ending I am happy with this submission as an experience rather than a challenging game.

Woof, woof-woof, arf arf-arf-arf! Boof, woof, good, woof, game, arf arf, peaceful, bork, calming, boof, cute, arf-arf, bark job! :)

Man I think I tried to figure out better what was written in each one of these letters (I even took screenshots and compared them to see if I could find anything else) but unfortunately I didn't find anything. The ending hit hard nonetheless :(

How come you always make the shortest and sweetest game in like just one day from the two this jam happens? Great entry!

This was a cute little game! The artstyle worked well for me, I thought the limited, 2 tone palette was charming, and the little bits of letter you got going back and forth was a fun concept. It definitely feels like a more "artsy" game that isn't really concerned with gameplay- the frogger bit in the middle never really progresses in difficulty past how it is in the beginning and it's quite easy the whole time. I'm not sure if it goes on forever or if there is an end, but I didn't really feel like I was progressing so it was hard to tell if there was more to see. Still, for what it is I think it's a charming and wholesome game that's just artsy enough to not be obnoxious.
