It is a fun buggy short game. Unsolicited feedback: - I liked how the game changed a little when you unlock snow, There could have been more of that, where as you progress it becomes mazes or you have to figure out how to beat levels. - Levels 10-25 just felt like busy work. - I got an achievement that run out of energy in 10 seconds but I never run out of energy, I might be missing something. - My wolf skin and video settings don't persist between plays. - It took me a while to realize energy meant health in the tech tree. Roses look like hearts too so I wasn't sure what they did at first. - I 100%ed the game and I'm still not sure what it means to "damage ground" is that break the rocks? does melting snow count as damaging ground? - My energy/health reads as zero when I am in the tech tree menu. - There are three buttons that convert different currencies 2 in the Shop and 1 in the Skins menu? - There is no alert or indicator that you have completed a challenge unless you ...

Some "upgrades" (especially snow) slows your ability to progress significantly and there is no way to toggle it off once you've purchased the "upgrade".

I liked how different resources played into different strategies and goals during runs while learning the game. And later it all turned out into "oh, yeah, I could try doing that.... or I can just chill and do whatever, chase the ground bomb excitement until it's over and then run around the fields chasing 'ooh, this one has a lot of resources' thingie".... which was very dog-like. Honestly, it feels as if the theme of the game was created after the fleshed out game design? Which is nice. The "game design not chasing the theme, but being honest with creating a nice experience and then applying a theme that would fit this created experience". Really fucking nice, I tell ya...

its a great little time waster, especially when you get the auto run unlocked. if you are looking for something to help pass the time or a distraction, this is a good little game.
