Bone Up is a game where you are a dog looking for bones and driving away lawn pestering moles (all called Molemort). You score well if you don't dig too much and keep the master happy.
Give it a go!

A cool little game with a great presentation. It's a little slow to take off and I'm not sure if the gameplay is there yet but there's definitely potential for further development here.
Really nice and fun, it gets you in a happy mood. :)
I love the graphics and animations, well done!
I like the art style and I hope you keep up working on a post-compo version :) Did you considered to speed up the dog's walking and digging?
Thanks guys! Very positive feedback! I'm pretty happy with it too and I think I'm going to make a post-compo version. Any input is very welcome. I'll just have to rest a few days before I start again. :)
A cute little game, with nice music and assets. If you continue to work on the gameplay, it will be really interesting! :)
Really cute. The pixel art on the dog jumping around fit perfectly.
A really cute game! The art- and music-style work well together. I enjoyed playing this!
Simple and Nice !
I think you've got a good start for a children tablet game.
Go on!
Not sure how the scoring system worked. But it was fun! The pixel art's cool, and the music goes well with it.
The music was great!
It fit with the dog, making the chords seem like dog barks
Unfortunately after a while it gets very repetitive
Nice little game
Great little game, really liked the dog animation and music.
Ahah I love how it is super happy and fun :) But the game is very simple and I didn't really understand how the score worked (Did I have to catch all the moles?) Good job!
Thanks for the comments! The scoring is a little strange due to me experimenting with it a little.. ;) I have made a post compo game, where the scoring is better. And yes, you have to catch the moles!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
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.
Neat! At first I didn't realize how the bone system functions, but after I got the hang of it it was pretty interesting and fun! The slow acceleration felt a bit weird and the music felt a tad repetitive (although obviously mad respect for composing music in the first place!)
