Technically speaking, the two "good" endings were surprise endings, considering what you found instead of your bone :-P
I walked in circles a few times, but never found my bone. Sad.
Yay good ending :3 Better than getting run over the first time!
The humor is solid and I liked that despite it's short length you managed to squeeze in more than a few endings!
Lol, I found the *spoiler* potato. Got killed a few times before :p. Funny entry.
I like IF games. Yes the lenght is a bit short... but the theme minimalism is "in"!
cute game. Very, very short though. I like these choose your own adventure stories. Deaths should take more than a single choice though... At least make us THINK we are doing good. :)
A short and sweet cautionary tale that warns the reader of dogs' transmorphic powers. *spoiler alert*

The potato-related endings were an unexpected twist.
Interesting idea, really reminds me of some of the very old school adventure games.
Solid game - nothing new here or unexpected (besides the ending[s]). Appreciate the Linux build - I wish people would do more of them, especially when they're only a click away.
I wish that you add more locations, I found these quick naive sketches funny.
I'm apparently quite a forgetful dog, forgetting about so many things I've buried.
This was pretty funny and enjoyable.
Hehe this was a interesting concept! I wouldn't mind having more options and and more choices, like going to a place to change something and then go back to discover something new! Anyway, the drawings were cute but could have been a little bit better ;P
That first scene turned my brain inside out for a moment. Sure you didn't collaborate with David Lynch on this one ? :)
I died twice in 5 clicks. This is the hardest game ever made.
It was a cute story. It strange that like you decided to add 2 false ending instead of a good one. Well is there a good one ? I really wanted my bone back...
I like the beginning very much: a little back story why you are a dog.
It's funny and its short.
I think I would like to have a bit more detail to the graphics. And next time maybe you could do the menu in the same style, I think that would make the looks a bit more consistent.
full points in all categories except the ones i didnt give you full points in.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
An IF game, awesome! A little short, but it is a 48 hour game after all. I couldn't find the 2 surprise endings though.
