About Flock of Dogs
Flock of Dogs is a quirky, top-down, co-op roguelike. Fly through the sky with your dogs, friends, and a floating whale. Everyone is headed to the Flying Festival at the end of the Air River. Battle monsters and help critters make it to the big party.
At its heart, Flock of Dogs is about being a weird world with friends. You can play locally and/or online. You can share a keyboard with one other friend. The progression in the game is focused on the dogs and the whale, so players can join or drop at any time and won't be left behind.Maybe the best feature is the Friend Slot...
A Friend Slot allows one of your online friends to join you for free! Anyone can download the "Flock of Dogs - Friend's Pass" and then join the game of someone who purchased Flock of Dogs.
Flock of Dogs is my little dream world. The music was created by my friends and family. Wherever and with whomever you play, I hope it's a magical flight.

when you're fried it's like being in a dr. seuss book
Cute. Fun. Having both shared screen and network multiplayer at the same time makes it easy to play with others.
I've played quite a few one-man, proc-gen, rogue-likes. And this is definitely one of the nicer ones.

Pros: - Puppos - Satisfying sound effects - Good music - Weapon variety - Hand drawn art was cute Cons: - Short music loop - Weapons are buggy and will stop working sometimes especially after an upgrade to them - Trees block important items - Picking up/dropping items should be either different buttons or you have to hold to release or something like that - Not everything is explained with onscreen instructions
"Flock of Dogs" is a failed attempt to make a quirky 2D hand drawn action/party game ripping off themes from Dr Seuss. There's some minigames and top down action/arcade type gameplay and wacky flying gods that, yes, live on a whale. Ok whatever. This ostensibly failed because while the art concept is charming, the delivery is clunky, and the animations are pretty poor. The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and so on. Instead, they decided that "Procgen IS content!" and lazily tried to use procgen algorithms to create infinite, samey, repetitive, soulless levels, because that's a lot less work. As a result of this poor decision, the game gets tired and repetitive almost immediately. Developers must learn that procgen is a terrible substitute for creati…
