What players say

I played Turbo Pug after school yesterday and today. Its a pretty fun little game. You run as a small pug dog, jumping over obstacles, collecting bones and sometimes wearing funny hats. The dog looks really cute when he runs, it made me laugh few times. Controls are simple, just jump and slide. Music is okay, nothing special but not annoying. I like that there are different skins for the pug. Its relaxing to play...
