A pug-tastic game. It's a sweet and short adventure of Joy the Pug trying to save the world from Space Kittens. There are 20 levels in which you need to jump over obstacles and try not to die. I admit, some levels were frustrating as hell (that's the idea, right?) and I almost gave up, but kept on going because I was having a laugh at the same time. The puns were cute, Joy was cute, and the music is addictive. The game probably needs polish here and there but, knowing that the budget was limited and it was done by a very small team, I am pleased with what they created. I hope we'll get to see more games from them in the near future!
