PHOGS!

Fun cute co-op game.

I recommend the game but I feel it's because of circumstances that other players might not have.

I played through with a second person. It was much more fun playing only one of the two dog heads, and I feel that was the intended experience. The few times I had to take control of both dogs were very frustrating and not as intuitive as you would think. It is not a one-player game.

The game was quite buggy, sometimes needing a re-spawn to fix. Though this is part of the charm of the game to watch the dogs get caught in walls and stretch impossibly between giant gears, the $25 price tag can give off "unfinished" to most players.

We purchased the game on sale for 80% off. So for a $5 game, it was an adorable romp with many simple levels and puzzles that are well thought out and creative to the changing mechanics.

With the bugs and 10-ish hours of gameplay, we would have been disappointed if we had spent $25.

Buy this if it's on sale and you have a friend.

I don't know what the developers did to this game, but me and my friend played this for 40 minutes and got so sleepy, we had to quit to not fall asleep in front of our computers. I don't know if there is some sort of subconscious psychological warfare hidden behind this innocent looking game, but in the 20 years of playing videogames, no game has ever made me this sleepy this fast. I recommend this game highly if you have insomnia.

its more like a worm than dogs

really boring

This game is SUPER fun to play with two people, and is great for practicing teamwork. It's so fun to find the extra dog bones hidden in the levels, and the hats you can equip are adorable!

It was fun until we had to paddle for 10 minutes (on ps5 controllers). We basically rage quited after this.

There are some bugs that are mildly annoying, but nothing that stopped me from playing. Usually a quick restart of the game and we'd be good. The checkpoints are fairly forgiving, so you don't lose too much progress if you need to re-launch the game to fix something. The puzzles are fairly simple but they keep your interest. There is some dexterity needed for some of the challenges. All in all the gameplay is enjoyable and it's accompanied by a very relaxing general tone and adorable word design. ARF! ARF! ARF!

pros: chill, cool quests (lots of content), asmr-ish ost, woof
cons: friend needed (basically made for 2 players, you can play by yourself tho)

This was a great game! It felt like any time I wanted something fun to work, it was able to work! And just generally, was a lot of fun to play through and well thought out! Definitely would recommend!

Good long gameplay time too! I think we played for 12~hrs! It felt like the right time for the game to end.

All around a ton of fun and really cute!

catdog more like dogdog

I guess it is fun if you are 8 years old and you don't mind bugs all over the place.
Controls are the pinnacle of top tier skill 1 trigger for bark/jumps, 1 to wobble/stretch/give the engine a seizure qnd a whopping 4 emote buttons.
Special thanks to the music + constant barking (with the odd sound bug in which it seems the dog is barking backward like a possessed entity) for killing my last bit of sanity.

Cute idea and a lot of content. Definitely a great co-op game for everyone. I do get this weird phantom limb feeling from the player controls not aligning with what my brain thinks is suppose to happen. Game is way better than Chained Together.

a phog is a worthy successor to a dog as mans best friend there is a button to bark and I press it constantly

Rowed a boat for 20 fucking minutes with my bitch wife doing while she was doing what she does best, you guessed it, bitching in my ear the entire time.

Would play it again!

Bad game, trust me ITS BAAAAAAAAD, it feels laggy and boring

Ridiculous and fun

OMK

Controllers were constantly disconnecting. Unplayable.

great for date nights. 2 hrs may not seem like much but we did complete quite a bit of content. looking forward to playing more

Perfect two player co-op for you and your kids.

This is the most challenging game i have i played in a while. The treat mechanic gives me a lot of serotonin, and i also quite enjoy that you can eat trash.

Bark: Woof/Howl

good game NOT a kids game it can be quite the challenge !!!!

incredible co-op game, graphics are very soft and nice.
i believe this would be one of those 'feel good' games.
takes around 8-12 hours.
every level follows the theme for it's world well while still being unique with great puzzles
each 3 worlds can be tackled in any way

overall like an 8/10 couch co-op game. communicating with the other player, if any, where you would like to go is not crucial but does help but can feel exhausting

for a singleplayer experience, it plays like that Brothers a Tale of Two Sons game, though it can feel kind of empty, would recommend saving for co-op

First 2h feels boring,

I really like this game c:
Is it simple? Yes, the puzzles are not really challenging for grown ups but it's a game made for children so i wouldn't expect otherwise. It can get a little annoying sometimes but it's not such big of a deal if you play with a friend i guess. Also i never really run into any serious bugs so i don't have anything to say about those.
It's a fun, silly little game with pleasant audio, cute graphics and a variety of level designs and adorable characters.
I just really like it. The puppies are cute and they make me happy c:

* Canid player-character
* Can be pet by NPCs
* Multiple bork buttons

11/10 would recommend!

this game is only fun when playing with friends and honestly... i'm the only one of my friends who is interested in this game. the single player feels weird to control in my opinion, but i love the multiplayer!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE ( I'm a Cat person but I still love this game )

The game is simple about two dogs attached together without legs. Spoilers: the story is about the phogs travelling to different worlds like the food world to wake up the other phogs. It's really good and I played until the end! That's how good it is to me as my friend and I are very cooperative,

Helping my 5 and 9 y/o's play this and its delightful when they aren't screaming at each other.

gets tedious after 3 hours

I wish I could recommend this game, because there are things to like about it. None of the puzzles are overly challenging. I love the design of all the creatures in this strange world. It's fun to bark bark bark.

However, the game doesn't feel as polished as I would like. The Phog is very slippery and floaty to control, which makes the puzzles and platforming more frustrating than they need to be. The fixed camera angles make it hard for me to navigate in some areas and I just had to be dragged around by my partner at points because I was so lost.

The game is also prone to breaking easily. There were several times we got soft-locked because a physics object that we needed for the puzzle got thrown off the map or over a wall where we couldn't get it (The king moon thingie in the sleep world, a key in the sleep world). There were several times where our poor phog body got stretched and turned to Unity spaghetti because one of our heads got jammed in the geometry. The most frustrating bug was at the end of the Play world, where my partner literally couldn't see anything that was going on in the "boss fight" and I had to essentially finish it myself while guiding her as if she was blindfolded.

Additionally, I know I don't have the most powerful PC, but I was not expecting this game to tax my PC as much as it did. Perhaps the game needs some better optimization? That part is just speculation.

I'm glad I was playing with a friend who I could laugh at the game with, otherwise this would have been way more frustrating. If you have more patience for games breaking without you trying and a friend you can laugh with, this might be the game for you. Otherwise, you might want to find a different multiplayer experience to share with them.

Fun little puzzle game.
The barking sounds are incredible.
Not a very popular game so it is on sale very often for a couple Dollars/Pounds/Whatever.

i got it for $5.25 AUD, witch is...
$3.21 USD,
£2.61 GBP.

Definitely a good pickup for less money you find in the glove box of your car.

"What if Catdog was a puzzle platformer?"

I'd imagine it's pretty hard to control solo, and apparently online co-op is janky, but I can vouch that local co-op is great. I had a ton of fun playing this with my girlfriend, and I'd recommend it to anyone as a couch co-op game.

Well, it's a cute little game, but it's for kids. I think I will drop it.

Great for people with a singular shared brain cell

adorable 2-player game with amazing graphics and puzzles that are not too difficult (but some do require brainpower). will miss the two-headed phogs dearly U•ェ•*U

I have no nut and I must bark 10/10

This is the perfect game to play while under some kind of influence: immaculate vibes combined with a fun physics engine and exactly the right amount of challenge (not much). For best results, play with a friend.

Super fun co-op game to play with my partner, who normally hates video games. Just the right level of difficulty to keep it fun but not boring. Honestly have had zero issue with bugs. 10/10 would recommend.

Very cute and fun game!

Good lord I love this game. I have played through it twice, nearly 3 times with different friends each time because it's so fun and it's a real team-building game I think. The adorable designs never fail to make me smile! <3 Sweet music, lovely eye catching vibrant colours, and it's fun to just be a silly yapping two-headed dog. I heard that this was Bit Loom's first game, and I think they should be proud! :)

Just a lovely time, played this with a friend a few years ago and had a blast the whole game is just so charming and cute. the puzzles are fun and enjoyable. If you are looking to have good time find a buddy and just enjoy a couple play sessions of this. Me and my friend enjoyed this game so much we 100% the achievements (not that its a difficult 100%) and its a badge I wear proudly on my profile forever.
