How it feels

Players bark into their microphone to push a tug-of-war gauge in chaotic real-time 1v1 matches against strangers or friends.

What players say

Players bark into their microphones to fight dogs, and the novelty is the whole point. The fun depends on having friends, getting loud, and not caring about polish. Reviews warn that it is brief, the AI art bothers some, and multiplayer has cheaters. A few report the barking can be legitimately hard on the voice.
