The game is very creative and one of the best puzzle games in years. I love the way it keeps throwing away at you a lot of new ideas. One of the creators said that the idea came to him when he saw a lot of people lined up at a convention. I am always amazed how people can take things as mundane as these and come up with these intricate games. Of course, a lot of people compare the games to lemmings, calling it a modern day equivalent, but the game also has enough going in to have it's unique identity.
Every stage introduces a new mechanic, which keeps the game interesting until the very end. Without spoiling anything, however, I was a bit disappointed by the mechanics introduced in the later stages.
The story is also just barely present, although it does the job of tying all the levels together. Personally, I would've loved to see more on the storytelling aspect. It feels as if they chose the meme dog for a character and just sort of made everything up to fit the various levels. That being said, I can certainly respect the game wanting to do one …

All in all, I certainly recommend this game to anyone with at least a passing interest in puzzle games.
It's alright, but the controls are a bit annoying.
What if we made a game about a plumber directing the flow of water to an end goal… but instead of water it was just human beings mindless walking forward and instead of a plumber it was a angel-like dog.
Cute but it didn’t quite grab me. Partially I am not quite in the mood for another puzzle game right now and partially I didn’t love the dog’s platforming. I realize that is just a means to an end and it is about orchestrating the massive crowds to their goal. However I much prefer when the basic mechanics feel good. The dog’s jumps are very floaty but the rest of the movement is not. I might come back to this though.
Another reason I am glad I have PS Plus.
The sound design on this is next level, even just the menu UI feels good
It's a real shame no one seems to be talking about this game, because it's pretty damn cool. A dash of Pikmin, a touch of Katamari Damacy, some tonal influence from Intelligent Qube, a whole heaping of Lemmings and whattaya get? A must play for fans of puzzle action games, for sure, and one that doesn't hold your hand and treat you like a dumdum either. The way the puzzles evolve over the story mode to keep you guessing and even start blurring the lines between genres really impressed me. What a pleasant surprise this is. Highly recommended.
