Katamari Dogmacy!

Despite being only around half an hour long, Doronko Wanko is a pretty entertaining game with a very straightforward premise - cause as much destruction as possible! Your goal is to paint or destroy as many valuable objects as you can, while also finding 12 dog prints along the way to unlock the final room. At first, painting the interior might seem like an arduous task, but interacting with the map and gradually getting rewards through raising the clean-up costs helps you significantly in no time.

I played with a controller and the controls were fairly understandable, however what wasn't understandable at first was the language, as the launch menu starts in Japanese. It took me a while to figure out, but what you need to do is to click オプション, then ビデオ, and 言語 in order and select English. There you go! As for optimization, this game unfortunately doesn't particularly run smoothly, but it's serviceable enough for the short playtime. I'd still recommend it to everyone interested, as Doronko Wanko is a cute little time-waster with a nice artstyle. Also, it's free. Everyone loves free stuff.

Cute, short free game! The trainees who made this definitely show a lot of promise, solidly constructed with an adorable premise and a lot of heart to boot. I could see this concept being fleshed out more in a full release, but for what it is they definitely hit all the marks. A silly doggy mud demolition sim, cant go wrong. Bonus points for letting me wear hats.

As a note, it barely functions on the steamdeck and the sound did not work. I couldnt really enjoy it to the most of its potential, but I'm glad I checked it out regardless!

profound air sucking DOOOOOOOOOOG!! That's my dog, except it's not the same breed, and huuh it's not my dog BUT he gets away with chicaneries as easily. So, the massive dad takes his kids to Belize, I think that's the story I can't read japanese (trial & error to find the language settings goes hard) and mom is in an highly comative state. That's a recipe for disaster. Here come dat boi, literal mud sponge marking his territory in the filthiest of ways. Press Reload button to reload and press Fire button to fire that's the gameplay loop, which actually is great foreshadowing of the minigun hat- what?? Psalm 37:13 - But the lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming.

Little thing gets pampered with collectibles every 5 seconds, I know he's cute but that is a bit excessive. Dogs have that TikTok attention span tho and he can't get outside so he needs to be rewarded for doing tricks, which is more of a prank gone wrong in this case, which moreso went as planned, anyways there are a few environmental puzzles mostly for the sake of it, this game is very short it clocks in below an hour but in dog years its like 7 hours, I don't know why I said that when I was talking about the puzzles, they're pretty fun and obvious, that's about it.

Okay I don't know how high Pomeranians can jump, clearly this one is weighed down by all the mud so I cut him some slack, but he can barely go above a chair. I don't think I've seen a dog jump straight onto a table so that's probably for the best, my own dog cant even climb chairs but he does jump on beds. Closing parenthesis it's cool to see what the new employees could do as a quick project, it really feels like a game made by japanese devs, not so sure abt the Namco identity, unless the 300 pomerillions in damage property are a subtle reference to Blue Protocol. Bravo!

This dog caused the fallout of Chernobyl. This dog owes the family $100,000,000. This dog is the devil himself.

It's cute but short. Buh-bye!

Short and cute game where you play as a fluffy puppy on a mission to unlock the "Good Smell" room and to realize the prize held within. The gameplay is pretty simple, you get dirty, run around, make a mess, repeat. It's a FREE game and worth your time. You can change the language through the settings (press the first small text in main menu -> press E to change column -> go down 2 rows -> press right). Just relax and enjoy this casual game.

A great little time with a silly, mucky dog.

Spent less than an hour to see the credits but I'm going to go back and get the badges because it's just nice.

It's simple fun, controlling a Pomeranian wondering around a new house trying to make the most mess you can spreading muck and interacting with a whole host of things to make your mark.

A simple game, but so much so that I hadn't changed the language to English and had no problems with it.
I was tempted to say I did this to further immerse myself as a dog, getting the gist of basic commands but not understanding language.

Free and fun for all the family... or something.

5/5 because it's what I expected and I genuinely can't think of any major flaws.

With this being short and free, I'm assuming this is some sort of testing game for new hires or something, and if that's the case they all deserve raises. It was just incredibly fun messing up a house as a cute dog and fulfilling objectives. Granted, I do own a German Spitz (basically larger poms, we thought he was one for like ten years) and yeah it's exactly like this. (little shit woke me up at 4:45 to be let out and fed this morning)

But anyway, play this. It's a fun time waster and it's hard to argue with the low price of nothing but 330mbs of hardware space.

Splatoon, but singleplayer, and you're a cute Pomeranian instead of a squid!
Doronko Wanko was a really fun but short game, good way to blow off steam. You get mud all over your owner's house and destroy stuff, and as the house gets dirtier you unlock more items to increase your efficiency. It's a blast! There are basic achievements too, and they are pretty easy to get while still being fun to hunt for.

Oh, and you can get a mud machine gun for maximum destruction.
Enough said. Go play this. It's free.

Yes, I did 20,000,000+ $ damage to my owner's house.
Yes, I caused a lot of chaos around the house.
Yes, I'm a very good dog.

Short, funny, free game. Worth checking out.
