This game is a real gem. It's fun. On the outside it's a fairly straightforward platformer, but it actually has some very interesting puzzles within the game that add a new level of complexity and enjoyment. It's also deceptively challenging, pretty sure I died 300+ times and I was not expecting that. The soundtrack is also amazing. The game is a tad short, and the story is simple but it's acceptable as the perspective of a dog. Also, you get to pick from a few breeds to play as, which is awesome.
