Party Poopers

Dr. PG leaves to the store for more dog food. In the meantime, his four dogs aren't worried one bit-- they HAVE food. Experience eating delicious and random items such as any dog would. The more you eat, the happier you feel. But watch out! Not all food agrees with dogs! Whoever eats the most is THE Party Pooper.

Diversifiers: 
Can You Come And Play?
Platforms: 
MS Windows, Mac OS X
Tools and Technologies: 
Unity (any product)
Technology Notes: 
Built in Unity 4.3.3 utilizing the 2D frameworks. Open-source libraries used: InControl (game controller framework) - https://github.com/pbhogan/InControl , UIToolkit - https://github.com/prime31/UIToolkit
Installation Instructions: 

You will need four wired controllers for maximum enjoyment (PS4 + Xbox 360 tested on OSX). This is a local multiplayer game only. If less than four controllers are plugged in, then the dog(e)s who don't have a controller disappear.

For an existential experience, start the game without any controllers plugged in and ponder the random assortment of items presented you. (In this mode, it's sort of like Vanitas by Tale of Tales, only more explicit)

Controls:

Left Analog Stick = Move
Right Trigger = Eat
Left Trigger = Bark (for fun!).

Builds:

OSX: DL Link 

Windows (untested currently): DL Link
