IFComp08 Review: Snack Time!
ASCII-art puppies in the ABOUT text! The game won't be getting a 10, since there are games I liked better than this one, but puppy gets a 10.
Which isn't to say I didn't like this game. Even without puppy art, this is a lot of fun. The various dog-specific verbs are well-implemented and extensive - the only one I tried that was "a trick you don't know" was HEEL. (And I had totally forgotten about BEG until a non-IF-playing friend pointed it out to me. And it works!) I particularly liked the ability to BARK AT random objects to show them who's boss.
The ABOUT text, in addition to having puppies, implies that the original design was to be the person and to make a sandwich, and that giving it to the puppy would be an option. That game would have gotten a 2 were it submitted to the comp. You have no idea how sick we judges are of implement-your-house games. This game, on the other hand, is top tier. Well played, Hardy.
