Tracking Dog
Game I started in January of 2021, but never initially completed until May.
Objective: Complete the levels by getting to the doghouse and collect the bones.
Instructions:
- You can push shoes, carts and chainsaws. All of these fill up holes, but the chainsaw can chop down trees and the carts can only move in one direction.
- Once a hole if filled up, you can walk and push stuff over it.
- The blue buttons are used to open and close the bridges. The red buttons are used to open and close the fences.
- The cats will attack you if you stand next to them, and the dogs will attack you if you stand in the same row or column as them.
- You can push stuff in the water (USE THIS), but you die when you walk into the water yourself.
Hopefully the game is accessible enough to be able to complete it without having to read the instructions.
This game is heavily inspired by a game that was included in a Dutch educational game package. The game was called "Robbie's Speurhondenspel", which is Dutch for something like "Robbie's Tracking Dog Game", hence why this game is called Tracking Dog.

So, it's a simple game but honestly I loved this. It was fun and cute but most of all, it was a perfect example of how to do level design. You introduced mechanics slowly, gave difficult puzzles but gave the player the tools to solve them. Really great job.
Thanks a lot! I think this type of game heavily depends on level design to be fun, which is why I put more thought in it than I did with my previous games. I am very flattered by your response!
