What players say
Love this game! First saw Stacyplays play this and had to buy it for myself. Brings back good memories <3. Quite challanging for me and I love the pixel style. Still love playing it even after having it for a few years
1 more review, not recommended
This is a fun game. Unfortunately it doesn't matter, because of the bugs with saved data. My file has been entirely erased one time and had weeks of progress erased (I lost a whole other dog I trained up) due to bugs. I cannot recommend this to anyone unless you don't care if you have to constantly try to restore your save data.
