Save the Dog
Dogs are pure and precious beings of light and goodness that deserve all the love we can give them and all the protection in Save the Dog. You've been given an adorable round doge dog to take care of and let roll freely outside. Unfortunately, this dog has a bad habit of getting into trouble and enjoys playing near active bee hives. Despite the dog's harmless appearance, the bees will defend their hive from anything and will be seeking out your dog. Use the powers of the pencil to create a protective shield that will protect your dog from all bee and environmental dangers.
About Save the Dog
Plenty of mobile and casual games have you keeping an eye on a specific element and doing something to facilitate their success. In this game, you're just trying to keep your little dog safe from harm. Though your dog can move around, they're not always aware of the dangers that surround them. Rather than yell and push them out of the way, you need to use your powers to make the space around them safe. This is certainly possible, but there are limits to how much you can do without weighing down your dog and putting them in more danger.
How to Play
Save the Dog is a 2D puzzle game about keeping a round dog safe from bees and other hazards using only the mouse. To draw something, click and hold the Left Mouse Button and then drag the cursor around. You'll keep drawing until you let go of the button or you lead the line into a solid object like a wall. The goal is to keep your dog safe from bees and other dangers until the timer at the top of the screen runs out. If you fail, you'll have to try again.
When you start, you'll be shown a level with the dog placed randomly somewhere in it, either on the ground or on a platform. You'll then have to draw some kind of bubble or barrier that will protect the dog from the bees and the level. Whatever you draw will react to physics like gravity and can be knocked around by the bees or by moving dogs. Other hazards may include lava or spikes that will harm your dog if it touches them. As you progress, more dogs will be added to the level and additional hazards will spawn around. Your barrier can be large or small, but the bees will attack once you stop drawing.
Tips and Tricks
The main thing you want to keep in mind is stability. Solid shapes like squares and triangles are effective at holding their position while circles are more mobile. Use parts of the environment to draw barriers that will latch or press into them when bumped by bees.
