Really creative puzzle game

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. enter image description here 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. enter image description here 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.

I really need to get around to playing this. It feels like the closest to a game put out by Japan Studio that we are going to get in the contemporary.

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.
