Each week Iain Simons selects a game so you can while away a few hours at your computer. This week Nitrome. Enjoy wisely...
Getting your dog to its dinner...
The brilliant Nitrome have released a new game, a neat twist on the sliding puzzle games that populated the playgrounds of old. In the Dog House is a logic puzzle which challenges you to create a safe path delivering your dog to it’s dinner. The less moves with which you do this, the higher the score.
Beginning simply the game rapidly builds into a complex and satisfying puzzle as other elements are added, including of course - cats. All of this is lovingly rendered in Nitrome’s trademark pixel-art style and results in an addictive experience.
If you enjoy this, you’d be well advised to try out some of the other titles on Nitrome’s site, as one of the leading purveyors of desktop distractions there are some real treasures to be found here here.
