DOG WOLVE is a fun little oddity in which you smash TV’s in a parking lot while listening to funky beats and being followed around by a bright yellow dog.
More of an interactive first person music video than a game, a full playthough lasts just six minutes (the length of the song). During this time you can wander around freely and smash up as many TV’s as you like. You do get a score for smashing the TV’s, but it’s much more about enjoying the music and having fun smashing things. Strangely captivating TV vandalising fun.

Tales of Cosmos is a charming point and click space adventure in which you help a little dog and a monkey as they repair their ship, explore space and discover beautifully drawn Little Prince-esque planetoids.

You control the dog (Perseus) and the monkey (Professor Gagayev) independently with each one having their own strengths – Perseus can bark very loudly and offer some great insight into objects and characters, while Professor Gagayev has access to the inventory and enjoys hitting things. The amount of detail that has gone into creating the large open universe is impressive, offering clever puzzle design, memorable characters and beautiful hand drawn visuals.

The Beta Demo offers up a sizable chunk of the game, allowing you to explore a selection of planetoids in the cosmos (once you figure out way to build a ship), and experience plenty of it’s wonderful artwork and fiendish puzzles. Even in these early stages of development, it draws favourable comparisons to Machinarium, but with a little more color and a lot more cute animal cosmonauts. If you love a good point and click adventure Tales of Cosmos is certainly worth checking out – a space odyssey with bags of character and charm.

Lisa is an adorable little game in which you control the lovely little blue dog and her owner as they have an adventure in the park, herding sheep, chasing rabbits, solving puzzles, feeding bears and finding cats.
You start off controlling the dog as she wakes after a nap in the park, by simply pointing where you want her to go and barking to interact (or just for fun). After a while, you’ll come across Lisa’s owner (and best friend), who you can control simultaneously using the WASD keys. What follows is a short, but wonderful puzzle adventure with gameplay that rewards experimentation and exploration.
There’s a great sense of warmth and love in Lisa, with it’s charming fuzzy pixel art animation, chilled out audio, adorable characters, inventive puzzles and buckets of charm. A doggie adventure that’s definitely worth taking for a walk in the park.

Move over Madden, there’s a new top dog in town (literally), with Jerry Rice & Nitus’ Dog Football a fun blend of Mario Kart and (American) Football, full of adorable doggies and silly pun based humor.

Jerry Rice & Nitus’ Dog Football features 7 on 7 matches with a human quarterback throwing to canine receivers in a competition to win the ‘Golden Hydrant’. Matches are played on interactive fields, such as dog parks, with obstacles, hills and hidden routes for you to discover. The Alpha Demo obviously isn’t fully featured, but the full game will feature 20 dog breeds, 14 human quarterbacks, 185 plays, 12 interactive fields and over 250 prizes, like custom balls and accessories.

Gameplay is pretty easy to pick up, with the whole game playable on a mouse, simply move the mouse cursor where you want the selected dog to go. As with Madden, Jerry Rice & Nitus’ Dog Football is much more fun when you’re attacking, with you selecting plays, handing out dog treats and selecting which ball to use (from shiny disco balls to rubber chickens). After the snap, to select which dog you want to throw to, simply wait for the receiver to bark then left click to throw, then run for the end zone.

It’s a fun game that blends pooches and Madden to make a fun easily accessible football game that’s well worth taking out for a walk.

Ashen Rift is an adventure horror FPS, that pits you and your loving dog ‘Bounder’ against a world full of mutants. Your goal is to shut down the rift that caused the population of your planet to turn into mutants, the rift has been open for 20 years, so expect so see some pretty weird shit on the way!

The game is very atmospheric, with the monologue from your character as he’s talking to Bounder helping to both cement your bond with the animal, and give you a better feel for the world that you’re in. It’s an interesting looking game, and unlike a certain big budget FPS that came out a few months ago, the dog doesn’t feel like a tacked on gimmick, he’s integral to the story and a well needed companion in this desolate world.
