    This document provides a description for a dog walking game where the player controls a character attached to a dog by a lead. The dog drags the player around a park as the player collects treats and avoids obstacles. Gameplay involves moving slowly while the dog controls speed and direction, detaching the lead to stop, repairing damage to the lead from obstacles, and collecting powerups. The goal is to collect treats within a time limit before the lead breaks from too much damage. The game has a cute art style with round dogs and colorful graphics.

    Project Description (the hook)

    Use your lead and let your dog take you for a walk around the park as you try to gather as many treats
    as possible while avoiding obstacles along the way that might slow you down or break your lead and
    lose your dog.

    ● Destructible crates that may contain collectibles
    ● Timed or permanent switches that you can attach your lead to and make ramps appear,
    doors open or special power ups appear
    ● Level timer that counts down after which the level ends
    ● Score counter that keeps track of your collectibles
