Phogs is a deliriously happy game about a double-headed dog. Playable alone or in co-op, the two sides of the conjoined canine are controlled separately, and must work together in a short series of colourful levels. You’ll collect bones, eat treats, stretch out, and bark at everything while you solve basic puzzles. It’s a very simple game, but it’s executed well.
You’ll travel to three worlds themed around food, sleep, and play — a dog’s three states of being, of course — and each one contains a handful of stages that force the doggy duo to work together. While there’s nothing in the game that’ll have you scratching your head for too long, there are some neat and clever solutions. Sometimes it’s just a case of pushing a block around, but there are plenty of more inventive environmental puzzles here, and the unique control setup keeps things interesting — especially in co-op….
