What players think
The recurring themes across 97 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
dogworld is basically a love letter to cave story and it's very clear it was in mind throughout the whole thing, a lot of homages to levels in here
Tight controls, rockin' soundtrack, fun aesthetic.
it's really fun, the mechanics are tight and slide gunning / jumping is a fun mechanic to add to this sort of gameplay. it essentially boils down to dodging and shooting - dying doesn't feel like much of a penalty because you basically blink and you're back and the checkpoints are VERY forgiving.
The general design of the enemies and the use of red in the visuals are both pretty good.
The developer recommends playing DW with a controller, which suits my preferences anyways, though there would be an option to play with the keyboard.
