[h1]Dogma A dogs delight [/h1]
[h1]Story and mechanics[/h1] The simple premise here is to get to the end of the level by capturing a bone, you are trying to save the dog's human owner. There's not much more story to it than that and the mechanics are simple, yet can easily help you make a mistake.
You simply use the arrow keys and the X for action and C for jump. The thing here is that the action button also serves as a sort of "Grab on to this object" button and sometimes if you aren't careful with the cursor keys you'll accidentally end up making a mistake at a crucial time when you didn't truly want to make one. Because in this game, if you fall in a pit or you touch certain walls that are not safe, it's game over and you have to restart at that levels starting point all over again. And believe me, you will die in this game. I certainl died quite a bit throughout the time i spent and i got all the way to the sinister sea before I decided I'd seen enough to write this review. [h1]Score[/h1] 8 bones out of 10
[h1]Sound and music[/h1] Cheerful music followed me along for this adventure and I couldn't help but feel delighted listening to the music, and it certainly does change so there's more than a single tune playing. I would have liked maybe an option to bark from time to time, but the grabbing sound was impressive, if not silly. I was entertained and I did stay mellow despite the times i died in the game. So whoever created that peaceful music you did a good job with it. [h1]Score[/h1] 7.7 bones out of 10
[h1]Final Thoughts and overall fun [/h1] This game is perfectly well suited to most age groups, the controls and visuals are delightful, The graphics are entertaining though sometimes lacking more than a few ranges of color, but still impressive enough to make me smile. The game is well polished and the puzzle challenges with careful timing for jumping, are certainly worth it.
I like dog games, and while i had wished to see some kind of bark mechanic here, I'm perfectly fine with how the game is right now. I enjoyed playing it and that is what truly counts in the end. I did mutter a bit of frustration from time to time at myself for some of the jumps that i'd miss, but that's part of the challenge of the game.
[h1]Final Score[/h1] 8 bones out of 10
