Super simple, dumb fun! Some significant bugs here and there, but still very enjoyable. Dogs are very cute!

As soon as I saw the title I knew I had to download this game! The dogs are so cute!!!

Played it in a vid and it was definitely my fave of the three (the other two games were fun too, though!)


Played this as part of a 3 random games, great game with good boys

Absolut süßes Casual Game und was bei anderen Spielen ein Feature ist, ist hier der Kerninhalt.  Artstyle nice, musik nice, doggos nice. Nach 15 Minuten hat man zwar alles gesehen, aber Introvertierte Hundeliebhaber die eine Prise wholesomeness brauchen, bekommen hier ihre Dosis FOR FREE. Pet ALL the doggos.

For years now this has been my go-to game when I don't quite want to go to bed yet but it's too late in the evening to get lost in a larger game. This is, and I'm not exaggerating, A Perfect Game. Simple yet clever idea, smoothly and stylishly executed, with a sense of humour, a lot of cuteness, and - always a big plus with me - surreal architecture. That it's all very relatable is the cherry on top. The oddest thing is that usually timed challenges stress me the fuck out - but somehow, this game got through my aversion to that, and after a little practice I got quite good at it, and now it's pretty much the only timed thing in gaming that I really enjoy.

funny funny funny !

i fell though the ground and could not progress... other than that the game was fun

(+1)

I'm having the same issue - I love the game and I've been able to go on a streak of about 15 pups before, but after I pet pup #5, The game glitches out somehow and I fall through the map.

I loved this game!! This is prob how I would actually be at a party anyway.. Haha. But really, I had a lot of fun with this. Def try it out!

Here is my video if you want to watch

Amazingly cute and stressful - Really enjoyed it

my highscore is 7 pups peted

Totally kicked this games butt https://youtu.be/rK-0jxOlIXs

My working theory is that this game takes place on an Earth where the Earths rotation has stopped, making it so one side of Earth is really hot and one side is really cold. This house is situated directly in-between both sides making it the perfect party. Hence why there are infinite party-goers who are blue (from being too cold on their side) and pink (who are sunburnt from their side)

This is perfect. This has everything I could ever want to do at a party! On the Linux version on Fedora 35, I ran into an issue after petting the third pup where nothing would generate besides the doors and I would just fall and I had to restart. It happened twice, but other than that this game is perfect!

Incredibly fun and expressive game. Excellent aftercare after playing dark souls.

Do you like puppys? Do you like kittens? Well, you've come to the right place! Pet the Pup is a first person party simulator where you (the anti-social animal lover) have one simple task:
Pet the Pup (or Cat)!!!

The premise of the game is really simple, you run around from room to room, trying to find the new pup/cat that spawned in the level to pet. There's not much to it, and with each room, guest, obstacles, and pet being randomly generated, no two levels will feel the same. Also with directional hearing, as you approach the pet in the level, you will hear them bark in the direction that they are located (a really nice touch)

A few issues I had with the game are as follow:
- Speaking to party-goers does nothing but increase a counter when you run out of time; it doesn't increase or decrease your time, doesn't stop your character from moving, and really does nothing. I feel like this was a missed opportunity as it could've been used to stall the player or have nice mini-games

- You will run into duplicate pets..... a lot; because even the pets in the levels are random, and with there being 50+ pets to find and pet, you'll find yourself playing this game a lot just to find newer pets to pet.

All in all, this is a nice time spender that will keep you entertained for an hour or so.

I'm not sure if it's a a bug but when i pet 9 pups the game glitches so there' no walls, floor, people, or even the pup. Its just a door and i keep falling and getting teleported back to the ceiling. Yeah fix this
