The game's plot involved captain Rover Pawstrong (a dog in a space suit) in his adventures on a planet, attempting to eat 20 Space Griffiths (essentially chickens). Gameplay involves the player's character running back and forth on a side-scrolling planet surface, attempting to catch the griffith. The player finds crates which contain items that the player can use to help catch the bird - or the player can simply try and run and jump on top of the bird, thus catching it. During playtime, there is a time limit by which the bird must be caught (indicated by a roast chicken slowly turning into chicken bones), or else the game ends. At later stages in the game, the player may have to enter some abandoned mines, where the griffith may be hiding. Read less

Well, as it turns out, you're basically running back and forth trying to catch these alien ... bird.. things. The jumping on top mechanism was quite clumsy, as was the bumps-in-the-road mechanics. …

Well, as it turns out, you're basically running back and forth trying to catch these alien ... bird.. things. The jumping on top mechanism was quite clumsy, as was the bumps-in-the-road mechanics. The music did continue to be amazing, and the gameplay was fun for the first 3 birds caught, but unfortunately nothing really captivating enough to push past the repetitive clunky gameplay. I know they add more mechanics later, but didn't captivate enough to get there.
