Phogs!

Phogs! is a puzzle-platformer game where players control a dog called Red and Blue. The game can be played in local and online multiplayer. Each dog is controlled by an individual player.

It can also be played in single-player, which allows a player to fully control the dog. The game's levels are split into three worlds: Food, Play, and Sleep. Each world contains six stages, and ends with a boss battle. The dog can be stretched, and can use its mouths to grab objects.

Phogs! was developed by Bit Loom, a studio consisting of Douglas Flinders, Henry Pullan, and James Morwood. The concept that the team had was based around competitive multiplayer. The concept involved dogs playing sports, and an early version of the game included a golfer dog.

However, Bit Loom saw competitive multiplayer as a "well-worn territory", leading the team to switch to a co-op puzzle focus. Phogs! was originally supposed to contain nine worlds, but the team settled on three worlds. Bit Loom took inspiration from games such as Hohokum, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and Super Mario 3D World.

Phogs! received generally favorable reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received strong approval, being recommended by 70% of critics.
