Dogpile finally answers the question: what if the yard where you kept puppers well into the double digits was vertical? It also answers the question: what if when two similar dogs touched they became a bigger dog? The answer, as I find out during my Steam Next Fest demo, is that it creates a fun and compelling, erm, dogbuilder I can't keep my paws off. I just have to cram more good boys into my garden!
From developers Studio Folly (Gubbins), Foot, and Toot Games (who are also working on the seriously intriguing My Arms Are Longer Now), Dogpile's art style is gorgeous, with striking designs for different breeds and block, cartoony colors. Designed for repeat play, Dogpile is the kind of game I can see myself cumulatively losing plenty of hours to. It's also perfect for trying as a demo, which I encourage you to do yourself (our Steam Next Fest guide explains more).
