Really fun and challenging, needs hints
Tue Jun 12 2018 LittleBirdX

I’ve really been enjoying this game immensely and the graphics and puzzles are great. I would love if there was an option to give a hint or a bit of guidance though, because while trying to figure out a level by playing through it is fun and satisfying there have been some moments where I’m completely stuck and feel like I’ve tried everything to no avail which can be frustrating. Overall it’s a great puzzle game and pretty addicting.

The inconsistent zoom feature will make you crazy
Wed Dec 12 2018 Solrisen

The game premise isn’t bad, and I didn’t have a problem with the lack of instructions. What I have a problem with is that the game changes the visual focus frequently, zooming in on an area when you have to see the whole screen to consider what you’re going to do. It literally gets in the way of gameplay; why would you even add that feature? It’s so frustrating. So, three stars. One for cute puppies, one for the sliding/rotating mechanics, one for the simple rules. But it’s hard to play if you can’t consistently see the screen!

Fun, simple puzzle game

This game is pretty fun, easy to learn, simple to play. For the people complaining about not knowing how to move the tiles or to rotated, they have arrows on them that shows you how you can move them (rotate, move sideways, move upwards/downwards, etc.) Also, the items you win don’t necessarily do anything. They are so you can switch the item from a bone to a ball and etc and use different breeds of dogs. It’s fun to switch it up! Well worth the $2.99 to play :)

Fun game - Sound doesn't stay off
Sun Jun 10 2018 JuicetenJ10

As a person who listens to music and podcasts while playing games, it's annoying that the sound toggle doesn't stick after every level. The button is pressed but I have to click and uncle just it to get the sound to turn off after every level. Other than that it's a perfectly enjoyable game.

Have fun!

While there’s nothing insanely innovative, the puzzle experience is tight and enjoyable. The dogs are charming and the art style does not complicate the puzzles. A wonderful, zen, adorable experience. In future updates I would love to see new levels (maybe outside?), customizable dogs (build your own dog with features you unlock by completing puzzles), and a level editor. Thanks!

Not Enough Levels
Wed Jun 13 2018 amyechandler

Other reviewers who complain about the lack of instructions just aren’t paying attention. What you need to know is there. Some of the levels are really challenging, but that’s the point of the game! My complaint is that I paid $3 for a game that only lasted me about 3 days. I’ve already solved all 50 levels. More please!

Fun, cute, simple

Amazing game with cute little pixelated doggos. Anyone below who says this game is "unclear" or "difficult to learn" is a legitimate caveman idiot. This game is really simple and anyone who has played a puzzle game should have no problem picking it up. Definitely worth the $3 I dropped on it. Give this game a try!

A quasi-puzzle game starring a stretchy wiener dog. Play it if you like… Delightfully weird ideas delivered via simple gameplay.
