A straightforward, cheerful 2D romp where you guide a dog through bright levels with simple platforming goals.

What players say

Players enjoy a silly 2D platformer starring a dog, with three characters that handle differently: Max is standard, Cheddar is slow but jumps high, Brian has a large hitbox and a three-life system that players find overtuned. The game is free, has no achievements and no Chinese localization, and its brief length invites speedrunning.
