The game seems solid and definitely brings a lot of joy. There are a few things that bugged me, like lack of quick save and not always visible enough spikes, but overall the game is beautiful and fun to play. Bea is cute and pretty much like in “Stray”, animal being animal is adorable, so all dog lovers should be happy with Space Tail. I do recommend this demo, and I’m waiting for full release to play it, as well as review it.

Plot:
It's only a demo prologue, so hard to say much about the plot, so my only point there would be that the Lector kind of destroys for me mystery about what is happening in there. For my personal experience, plot would be better to be thrown into that world almost without any information, without narration. To explore myself and slowly start to understand the world around. Lector just leads me thoughtlessly and explains everything before I even ask. Although I'm not everyone and some people, definitely younger audience, will appreciate that easy story-telling.

Mechanics:
SPOILER ALERT
First things first, the game definitely could use the quick saves. For now, it happened for me once, in a place when u get double jump, you can get back and pick up with new upgrade shields that were on unreachable platform and then make a long jump. Long jump wasn't the easiest, and it took me several tries before I did it. And of course I was getting back for shields every time. In prologue, it was fine, going for shields didn't take more than 30 seconds, but in later game if the level would be more complex, and I’m guessing harder, it may create unnecessary frustration. I'm not sure if lack of quick saves is only in prologue, and they will be added to full game, but if not then I would advise consider adding it.
I love the idea of dog senses helping us find various things around the map. It perfectly fits the climate and the fact that Bea sniffs her goals and doesn't take out some kind of map out of her butt, or she's not using Nav of some kind is great, and it's a lovely detail.
The befriending creatures idea is also neat, but tends to be a bit confusing at the start. There are pop-up texts technically telling you what you are supposed to do but in a “shock” of colorful, detailed background they just disappear from perception and my first befriending experiences ended up failing without me doing anything. When it comes to “emotes” it’s again cute idea, but sometimes it's a bit confusing since same type of creatures don’t like same behavior (everyone has their own preferences, even if they are same specie).
Jumping seems ok, I didn't have problem with it at all. Gives vibes of Ori and Hollow Knight.

Graphics and level design:
Visually, for me, the game is very appealing. I believe that liking in art style depends on person and for some people it will be beautiful, for some may be messy. For me personally, graphics are ok, but what definitely deserves a praise are animations. They are being well-made, cute and interesting. All dog lovers around the world will definitely appreciate that Bea can growl, roll around or give a paw. And even besides emotes, Bea’s running looks excellent, and it gives that feeling of speed. Most importantly, she does act like a dog. She squeezes through small holes, she barks, she sniffs around to find the direction. It’s all well thought. Congratulations, you Devs surely loves dogs. :)
Surroundings at the same time are sometimes a bit hard to read. Maybe it's because of the first location being a desert biome, but especially at first I had a hard time finding the way.
SPOILER ALERT
Although I do not agree with some other reviews about the game being too hard to understand and easy to get lost in. If you say so that it either mean that you can’t read the popups or you can't process in your mind that u have to stand on one edge of platform to make other edge go up, run there fast and jump on higher platform. Simple as that.
When it comes to visuals, my only complaint would be about the spikes. Maybe it's a matter of me not playing long enough to get use to (it took me less than 1 hour to finish prologue, even tho I tried to look for some secrets), or maybe it's again about the desert. But yeah, few times I literally stepped onto spikes without even realizing that they are there, and few times I was preventively shooting normal flora just in case it would try to kill me.

I don't like to grade games in numbers, so to sum everything up, I'll just say that demo is definitely worth trying for all Platformer and Dog lovers. I'm waiting for the full release. :)

Looks great, nice visuals, great assets. There is one problem through, game is less intuitive than you want it to be. There are some moments when you just dont know what to do, for example there is a moment, when you need an upgrade to be able to make a double jump. There is no explanation of "what is an upgrade?" or "how do i upgrade?". Game seems to be targeting multiple ways of gameplay, but at the end there is just one way, which is pretty weird considering how big the map is. Some of the machanics are annoying and some of them are just useless (you can finish the game without using them). Well, remember that this is only a prologue, maybe those mechanics will be more fun in full game/less anoying. I hope that this wont be over hyped game at the end and I would enjoy it one more time. Well... about that...

A fantastic free to play game. There is so much to like about this side scroller. The graphics are phenomenal and the challenges are not overly hard so anyone can play. Its the simplicity of such games like this that can make play over and over again without getting to frustrated. Plus, like most games, you have to find all those secrets :).

Steam recommended me this game due to Ori titles and when I saw the trailer, I was intrigued. And after playing the demo, I instantly went to wishlist the actual game!

The inspiration from Ori is there - an animal with an Orb (TM) attacking for us and some of the level visual designs feel similar but it doesn't mean the game doesn't have it's own ideas. The enemies being able to become friends is so adorable and it was fun to try to get which action would result in them either being friendly or even more mad is good!! The telekinesis power is also intruiging, with how the objects won't move if you are standing on them but once you jump, you can use them as additional platform.

My favourite part of the demo however was when the game didn't tell me that I have to use gravity somewhat to tilt the platforms to get to a higher place in the game - it was a small thing but I really adored it, even if the tilting took a bit and I kept jumping off haha

I'm v curious what usage will all the senses bring in the full release - I at first didn't exactly understand the smell one with all the lines but it was a quick thing to learn, so bravo for making this quite intuitive!

The only thing I didn't like was the narrations - in both Polish and English, I feel like they lacked any substance - it felt like the Enlgish va was just reading the script (it was a bit better in Polish but still not by a ton lot). The game will be soon out so I don't really expect them getting changed and well, it's just the cutscenes so it ain't a big part of the experience but still, would be nicer to listen to something more natural than reading outloud for class vibe haha

So yeah, I can't wait for November to check out the whole game :DD

Usually, those kinds of games are not my cup of tea, but this one is so cute, I will definitely play a full version. I especially love the interaction with other creatures, I hope there will be more of those in the full game. And not only friendly - I mean everyone wants to be a good boy, but sometimes we have to be bad ;)
Having huge hopes for this gem!

Great game - here's a link to my walkthrough https://youtu.be/X9Odhl1FBEg

At the beginning of the conquest of space - people sent instead of themselves, the one who is not particularly sorry. Namely, animals. And not all animals were able to return back to Earth... Some remained hanging in the bottomless dark space...
But our heroine is lucky! Bea not only survived, but also made it to an unknown planet!
Help Bea survive on her new planet, make friends, and save the teddy bear she left her home with!

Pros:

• + Excellent graphics
  
• + Nice plot
  
• + Ability to customize the character's suit
  
• + Interesting game mechanics
  
  Minuses:
  
• - Short prologue game session

Total:
While the entire gaming community is touched by a cat in Stray, dog lovers have decided to create their own platformer with their favorite animal!
The arcade platformer is fairly simple, but it's the dog sense mechanics that make it interesting. You can listen, touch, or keep an eye on your surroundings to find secrets, the right path, or opponents.
Also, our heroine can communicate with some alien life forms and gain their trust, which will help us overcome difficult places on the levels. By the way, interaction with aliens is quite interesting - as it uses the emotions of our dog.
I recommend this prologue for the passage, as well as adding the full version of the game to the wish lists!

Full playthrough w/ all lore so far here: https://youtu.be/iURWKhzmSVk

This game is freaking awesome I can't wait for the full release I was actually sad when the prologue ended it's adorable and it plays really well even though the box stage was kicking my butt. I loved this definitely check out this prologue it'll get you amped for the full release it's Ori like, but so far I like the story so much more.
