In The Dog House 4+

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 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!

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 :)
