Very fun, very short "messing up shit"-type game (a la Untitled Goose Game, Octodad, Under The Skin, etc.) where you're an evil little dog who completely destroys your family's house. Love the graphical style, and this could probably be expanded into a successful full length title.
It's free on Steam & it's short, no reason not to get it!

The joy of destroying an upper classman's home, with zero of the consequences and all the benefits of being a small dog
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!

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.

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.

It's simple and not particularly well-optimized, but the basic gameplay of creating chaos as a cute little Pomeranian is more than fun enough to sustain the hour or so it takes to get through this. I couldn't find the last collectible needed to trigger the ending, hence the "Abandoned" here, but hey, it's free.
