Dogpile is an adorable deckbuilder about good boys

Dogs are good.

But do you know what's better than dogs? More dogs. And do you know what's better than more dogs? Bigger dogs (while also more dogs).

There are a lot of ways to describe the gameplay in Dogpile. What if Balatro had golden retriever energy. What if 2048 had fleas. What if "tell your dog I said hi" was bouncy Tetris.

Dogpile is a roguelike deckbuilder that takes that exact premise, and turns it into a delightful little game. Your dogs are a deck of cards, ace through king, with aces being tiny, shivering chihuahuas and kings being giant, doofy Saint Bernards. You work your way through your deck, drawing a few dogs, and then you drop them into a yard as physics-based shapes. When two dogs of the same rank touch, they merge into the next rank up.

And every dog is cuter and more ridiculous than the last. Some dogs have good traits — like being magnetically attracted to other dogs of the same rank or being smaller than usual. Some dogs have bad traits — like having fleas or being oversized. (But, to be clear, they're still good boys.)
