Notes from the Developer This is something I have wanted to accomplish for years (ever since I began writing code)! I tried to keep in mind some goals while I was making Flatdog: - I wanted to really try and monetize (for the first time) a piece of software I created - I wanted to make something that made people smile and got some goofy laughs - I wanted the App to feel polished By the time Flatdog launches I will have been working on the project for 11 months. It has been a challenge to remain both focused and balanced. It was basically like working a second job. It was a real struggle to see it through and try to create something that felt relatively polished with a one-man team. I did have help on the motion graphics and video content from an amazing creative team called Blackbox Visual. I feel extremely lucky for the access to resources, hardware, and software that enable me to indulge my creativity. I am especially grateful for my wife and my supportive friends who encouraged and helped me. I am very excited to share Flatdog with the world and I hope that people find some value in it. Thank you!

Looks really fun! sobriquet Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Jul 30, 2015 1,216 1 38 #3 sobriquet, Mar 8, 2017 Picked up the game this morning as promised. Will post some impressions when I've had a chance to dive in. flatdog Member Dec 29, 2016 18 0 0 Software Engineer San Francisco Bay Area #4 flatdog, Mar 8, 2017 Yep! My first one - but I have been developing for a while. This is the first time I really had an opportunity to make a game start-to-finish, although I had done a fair amount of Unity development before (for non-game stuff). Hope you check it out and that you get some fun out of it! If you have any questions or feedback, you can message [email protected] Thanks! skylined87 Well-Known Member Nov 9, 2014 457 0 16 #5 skylined87, Mar 8, 2017 Awesome! Well I must admit, it looks like an awesome game! I'll have to try it out later! # great work flatdog Member Dec 29, 2016 18 0 0 Software Engineer San Francisco Bay Area #6 flatdog, Mar 8, 2017 Thank you so much for the kind words! Hope you have some fun with it! HelperMonkey Well-Known Member Dec 16, 2009 632 8 18 Iowa #7 HelperMonkey, Mar 8, 2017 I'm concerned I won't know what to do with the actual dog if I help it get out of my phone. My building doesn't allow dogs. I'd hate to have to take it to the shelter. Does the game have an option to re-absorb the dog? Or do I need to use PHoNe-CLEEN again for that? jpgold Well-Known Member Sep 21, 2012 1,818 56 48 Online Ad Sales - Pandora New York, NY #8 jpgold, Mar 8, 2017 What do the "feels" do? One of the shop items. sobriquet Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Jul 30, 2015 1,216 1 38 #9 sobriquet, Mar 8, 2017 Is the wormhole guaranteed to be reachable from any point in the board or is it possible to cut yourself off from the block holding it? Basically I want to know if you are able to get in to a no win situation where you can't get to the wormhole. Mrwubbs Well-Known Member Feb 19, 2012 498 0 16 #10 Mrwubbs, Mar 8, 2017 I watched the gameplay vid and had NO IDEA what was going on lol. Bought the game on basic principle to support the developer. I'll come back with impressions. flatdog Member Dec 29, 2016 18 0 0 Software Engineer San Francisco Bay Area #11 flatdog, Mar 8, 2017 Hahahaha... where there's a will, there's a way!! You'll grow to love him ❤️, and move out of your apartment. currently no re-absorption available, will keep it in mind for future updates. flatdog Member Dec 29, 2016 18 0 0 Software Engineer San Francisco Bay Area #12 flatdog, Mar 8, 2017 The feels are purely cosmetic, just fun "stickers" that chgange the aesthetic a bit. Hoping to find a more compelling way to integrate with gameplay in the future, as this was part of feedback from orher testers. flatdog Member Dec 29, 2016 18 0 0 Software Engineer San Francisco Bay Area #13 flatdog, Mar 8, 2017 Yes, it is possible to cut yourself off from the wormhole - although very unlikely if you develop a strategy for making your way through the blocks. Also, unlocking the electrodash allows flatdog to dash very far across levels and in any direction. This should help save you from disaster and also help you reach the wormhole. flatdog Member Dec 29, 2016 18 0 0 Software Engineer San Francisco Bay Area #14 flatdog, Mar 8, 2017 Thanks! Appreciate the support! Sorry for the disorienting video - was hoping for an overwhelmong "BUY IT - IT BLINKS" vibe. Hope you have fun with it! Feel free to message any feedback or issues to [email protected]! Thanks again!

Eventually, I end up closing the app and starting all over again. sobriquet Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Jul 30, 2015 1,216 1 38 #19 sobriquet, Mar 9, 2017 Last edited: Mar 9, 2017 This is why I asked whether or not you can cut yourself off from the portal, the answer is yes. I had several games in a row where I couldn't find the portal and it was because I had cut myself off from blocks of screen. One of which contained the portal. I started using caution and methodically destroyed one plain at a time. Seems to be working so far.
