Summary
Wobbledogs is a game I say game it’s more of an interactive experiment! That allows you to create and cross-breed dogs in order to create crazy mutations that both delight and offend in equal measure because you don’t always know how the dogs will turn out. It’s a real slow starter mind as you need to spend a good chunk of time just waiting for the game to play itself so you can get the tools and abilities to get the world populated and customized then the game comes to life (pun intended). For me, it’s a great little time waster and honestly felt like a spin-off of Viva Pinata ut the dog’s version. It’s a quirky little title that shows the world the true dangers (and advantages) of messing with mutating dogs.
