Dog Collection
You will encounter thirty unique, hand‑drawn dogs throughout the game. Their designs differ in shape and size, giving each level a fresh visual feel. Collecting them is part of the core activity of arranging them neatly on the grid.
The dogs do not bite, even if you rotate them a bit, and their presence adds a light‑hearted tone to each puzzle. Their variety encourages players to appreciate each character while solving the layout challenges.
- Observe each dog's silhouette before placing it; the differing shapes can affect how they fit together.
- Take a moment to enjoy the artwork; the hand‑drawn style adds personality to the puzzles.
