PixelPups by Chilleh
PixelPups is simple! Don’t kill your pup. Just like real life. If you kill your pup, you don’t deserve to have a puppy in real life.


Click the food button then drag the food over to your pup; this gives you food points. Click the play button then swipe the ball in a direction and the pup will chase after it; this gives you attention points.

Don’t overfeed your pup or it will lose attention and sleep points. Don’t overplay with your pup or it will lose food and sleep points.

Features: - 5 different types of pups! - 3 cool shop items! - Day/night cycle (around every 2 minutes)! - Murder >:^( - Saving so you can come back to your pup at a later stage!

Oops - I must have been overfeeding and playing lol, I always forget to read descriptions first. I will replay and come back!
So I realized you keep your money when your dogs die which is nice, and I was much more successful this time around, my pug is still alive 3 days later! I still don't really know what I'm doing but whatever I'm doing is working. Just for the heck of it, I tried buying something even though I didn't have enough money, and it worked, so there's currently a bug where you can have negative cash and just buy everything in the shop. I really like this though, was giving me nintendogs vibes, I only wish there was a way to pet my dog by clicking or something!
Game is pretty fun, pretty cute doggo graphics and the objects as well. I liked the music too, minimalistic but chill.
Mechanics of success are a bit cryptic and I am not sure about the monetary aspect of the game, but it still was pretty fun to play.
I went negative in the shop and bought all three things immediately. What is the rainbow looking thing, a toy? I didn't see how the bed, food, or toy helped the pup - I still felt like I had to play and feed it just as much. I also appreciate the save aspect because I accidentally exited the game by pressing escape trying to close the shop more times than I care to admit.. another bug was I accidentally "Dragged" the treat/food off the game screen (other monitor) and could no longer feed my pooch. The treat should maybe destroy after some time and let you feed again.
Great job! :dog:
