I like the idea and style of the game. I enjoyed it :)
There are some things that could improve gameplay, at least from my perspective:
- Steering could be more responsive. I happened to tap a button twice quickly and dog moved two tiles far. It's rather better to ignore any additional input until current move is done. The best games I played where movement was done on tiles had a steering where I could keep tapping or even hold a button until character was doing the last move that I intended.
- I think it would look much better if dog would face the direction of movement (instead of strafing or going backwards) when moving without a stick.
- Despite smooth animation, sound was glitching. I also saw flat 25% CPU used in task manager, so one core was completely busy when game was in focus. Firefox 109.0.1 on Windows 10 and PC that panted as much (on all cores) when running CP2077 on high settings (with smooth sound).
