The Battle Dogs!
A downloadable cute dog-type game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
This game also has a Web version here!
A strategy game where you lead a group of cute Dogs toward victory!. Heavily inspired by the mobile game "The Battle Cats". You can even say that this is a fan game of The Battle Cats.
Story:
A once peaceful planet called Doggo had been invaded by the Cats. You are entrusted to protect and lead the Dogs to take back their land and expel the Catkind out of this planet.
Features:
- Summon Dogs to defense the Dog Towers and destroy the Cats!
- Upgrade and unlock new Dogs / Skills / Passives
- Multiple levels where you might encounter interesting new Cats!
Due to the nature of the creation of this game (the game was made for my university graduation project) there wasn't a lot of variety of Dogs in the game (only 5... or is it?). I do plan on adding more Dogs in later updates of the game but for now, five Dogs to rule them all!

I'm kinda stupid so can anyone tell me how to play the downloadable version?
What will be added in the 2.0 update?
Originally it's just gonna be a touhou crossover, new cats and enemies that does shoot bullets at each other, but now i'm doing that plus giving the game a story and an ending
ok
Easy to get stuck on the first few levels.
It forces me (a bad game player) to delete my save until I make it past a level.
Oh sorry about that, I should've mention in the tutorial that you can always go back to older stages in case you got stuck to get more bones for upgrades
No pressure on the update btw you don't need to worry about some random people playing your game, do important stuff first, also sorry if I put too much pressure on you for the update.
Oh it's nothing don't worry about it, your comments motivated me to spend more time working on it actually, since i can get lazy sometimes lol
Can I get an estimation on the update, thanks either way.
Im not sure, everytime i made an estimation i never manage to do it on time, it will come out when its ready. Originally i was only adding a few new stages and characters but it has evolved into something greater now so it is taking longer than expected. Thanks for playing and sorry the wait
Quick question, when i accidentally leave my mouse on screen and a unit passes under it, an arrow appears, is there any use to this? I tried swiping, and pressing different keys.
Yes this is an expermental feature that let you can control a unit. Try clicking on a dog, then use the arrow keys to move them and spacebar to attack.
This feature will be remove in the next update however as I think this is just too OP, it ruins the dynamic of the game, but I do think it is a cool feature.
I'm really excited to play future updates of this game! Do you have anything to chat about this game or future updates like a discord server?
Hey, thank you for playing! unfortunately the next update will be the last but I do hope you will like it regardless I put a lot of effort into it. I don't have a discord group but you can contact me at @comaybay on discord
Shame that the next update is the last, but it's still really fun! Thanks a lot for making this
this game takes all the good parts of battle cats and makes doggo its PERFECT
this game is great but...... PLEASE MAKE MORE UPDATES THIS GAME IS TOO GOOD IT NEEDS LIKE 3X THE CONTENT
it NEEDS things like evolution for the dogs and like AT LEAST 30 dogs
Hey thanks I'm glad you like the game, it means a lot to me! I'm working on a new update for the game on my free time right now, it's very slow development but it's almost done, I hope you try it out when the new update came out.
Real good fun tho. Found the game from its trailer and I gotta say, I enjoyed every last second of it. Its nice to finally have the ability to play as the funny dogs so I appreciate your effort
Hope to see more update and pleas do take care of yerself yo
I'm very happy to know that you enjoyed it, there will be more updates and i will try to keep myself safe from being bitten by the cats, thx u!
BEST GAME EVVAAAAAAA!!!!!44!!!!!!!!
