Why can’t I shoot the dog?

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/9/b/9b33f0a738789e015d634ffdd4b16fb85745a7a8.png)

(Yes, I wasted nearly 10 bullets trying to shoot that dog taking my hunted game)

I am severely disappointed in the lack of vision, and as a result, contracted Acute Heart Failure. I hereby rate this game **0/5 stars** - /jk

On a serious note, though, I do like this game, and I feel like it captures the retro feeling of the original Duck Hunt quite well. My favorite thing was how the birds flew and moved around. Really helps make this gameplay feel a lot more satisfying.

Okay! @Bilangus, @PlanetGames, and @Seal_dev, what skin would you like to be? The default character you start with will be below. (Yes I know there’s not a lot of room for cool designs)

 ![IMG_1758](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/e/7/e7e078be9f7cb49fb1bf8464da15f9c2e3f8b1d6.jpeg)

The shape doesn’t have to be exactly the same, I can make him thicker or change the hat/shoe shape too.

I can try and make out what you want, but the name is probably too long even though the mini menu shows the whole name.

Thanks! Would you like the name to be just “Seal” or anything else?
