What do you think?

Pretty interesting game :).

Nice game with lovely retro graphics! I enjoyed the oldschool gameplay, but I must admit it was a bit confusing at first. After a few tries I was knocking out postmen and dumping their letters though :)

I also think that implementing the C button wasn't really necessary. I would've preferred if your character picked up a letter whenever you touched one, but that's just my only criticism.

All in all, a really enjoyable game!

Good work on this, nice concept and good amount of polish. Gameplay was pretty straightforward if you read the how to play, and I was fine with the speed and the Z, X, C controls- but it felt like the ladder could use more polish (e.g. change it to be able to hold both left/right arrow and up arrow at the same time- still lets you climb), and as Alexitron mentioned, the game can randomly make it impossible to win if your dogs are not recharged yet- which a lot of people seemed to do for the Failure theme. :)

Amidos is from Egypt dudes . You can't really blame him for his grammar , i admire that he isn't afraid of showing off his games even with this language issue .
That aside , this is a good game , is a good and simple concept , it looks awesome , the sounds are good , the music fits , the bonuses are OK the special dogs attack is cool . On the presentation side this game wins .
A few things kinda messed the experience a bit for me . I don't see the need to press C to pick up stuff , they could just drop and be picked up by colliding with them or if you think that a button is needed then pressing UP or DOWN could have done the trick just as well .I just didn't get used to using the pick up button .
Another thing was the placement of the ladder , if I had to hit a postman that was near the left side of the screen and then another one popped up two stories up or down and my dogs wasn't ready then that was it , by the time I got to the ladder and started climbing , the guard was gone and I was busted . Maybe if the ladder were in the middle or near the middle I wouldn't have felt like a lost in a cheap way , but lost because I wasn't fast enough or wasn't paying good attention , which in my opinion is what the game is about .
One last thing , and of this I'm not very sure , but I managed to fall off the ladder and out of the screen . This only happened once . BTW :why does the ladder goes beyond the bottom level ? Shouldn't it stop in the last floor ?
Anyways , even with this small issues I still enjoyed the game and played it many times . I managed to make a bit over 1000 points . Yes , I suck....

I liked it. Only problem for me was the bad grammar/spelling. Is English not your native tongue?
