Demo Feedback

Tested on mouse and keyboard, solo, controlling both ends of the dogs at once

Pros (Not all pros are going to be mentioned. Usually when I don't have a complaint about something, it was good.)
- Rollover menus, yes!
- Awesome style
- Great visuals!
- Just so happy and peaceful!
- Great presentation, music, sound FX, etc. overall!
- Non-violent
- Master volume slider
- The default controls look decent enough
- Tells me how to move etc. Nice onboarding!
- Super cute!
- Clear tutorial, signaling, conveyance, onboarding so far (I'm at the "bone gate") This is so important!
- Indicator for when you're grabbing/not grabbing something is nice!
- Dino so cute!
- The tutorialisation is so good, even without text!
- I got petted by the purple guy. CUTE!
- The world is so creative and charming
- The physics/movement/controls feel good!
- Collectables? All right!
- Using yourselves as a hose is hilarious
- That avocado seed person is insanely adorable
- I like how the saw disappeared once you had no use for it
- It's cute how the dogs fall asleep if you're AFK
- I like how the collectables are clearly in sight, it's more about figuring out how to get them than noticing them
- The guy who wants popcorn, I love the clear signaling again
- Popcorn hat lmao!
- It's funny how their tummy fills up when you eat popcorn
- The way you reveal the golden bone among the popcorn during the "arcade" segment is clever
- I like how clear and simple the bonus quests are, and they're still clever and satisfying
- I like the "skate" controls
- Nice signaling for the key/door
- The puzzles seem well designed, just hard enough too, but not too much


Cons
- Can't progress past "Press Any Button" with a mouse click
- No pause upon alt + tabbing
- No mouse control in the menus
- Space can't be used in the menus instead of Enter
- No mute toggle
- I have to confirm which slider I want to change instead of being able to change it upon going over it, more clicks than needed I think
- The controls/keys don't seem to be rebindable, I went into the menu but I couldn't get it to work if it's possible
- There's some lagging/stuttering during the mini games, like upon winning the bowling one
- (Not really a con) Aw, I missed a golden bone D: (What do they do?)

Overall, this is a really nice game! It has the best onboarding/UX/UI of all the games I've tested in the last 2 weeks or so (I was on a PAX Demo testing spree). Only some minor gripes. Really impressed! Excited for the full release! Good luck with the development!

Thank you so much for your feedback. From my experience, PHOGS! can be played best using a controller. It would be great to hear your opinion after trying this out :) Golden Bones are collectibles that are hidden all over the Phoggyverse. You can use these bones to purchase hats in the shop that your PHOGS! can wear. If you have any more questions, please feel free to join our PHOGS! community on Discord: discord.gg/coatsink

You're welcome! Thanks for the reply! KB+M was good, too. :) I've seen someone play with a controller and it worked nicely for them, I'm sure I'd be satisfied with that.

Ah, the bones unlock hats, nice! I got all but one I think.

Thanks for the offer! (I've no questions for now.)
