Dog games

Cats got most of the big games this year, so the dog games are smaller titles and classics. Here are the ones where a dog is the star, the Roam sheepdog and puppy games, and how to turn a photo of your own dog into a game today.

Games where a dog is the star

Roam dog games

Turn your dog into a game

A photo is the fastest brief. Roam builds the game around the dog in the picture, so it is your dog who runs, herds or saves the day.

Start with what your dog actually does. If it chases pigeons, make a herding game. If it hides from the vacuum, make a stealth game. If it steals socks, make a heist. Then ask Roam for changes: more levels, a rival dog, a friend's pet as the boss.

Play it on Roam

Make a game starring your dog

Use a photo of your dog and one sentence about the game. Roam makes it playable on your iPhone, and you can send it to friends.

Try: "photo of my dog plus: herding game in the park, round up the pigeons, bark to scare them, 60 seconds"
