This was such a disappointment for me. I've wanted an animal shelter video game since I was a little kid, and I was so excited to play this! I loved the pre-alpha demo so much that I played it for hours. Unfortunately, as is the case with a lot of Kickstarter games, this is horribly buggy. I was hoping the bugs would get patched out, but it seems that when the devs fixed bugs, new ones would take their place. They don't seem to be working on the game anymore, which is a shame.

Here is a list of bugs I encountered:
-I could no longer place the water bucket back on its hook and it was stuck in my inventory.
-I became stuck in dog leashing mode and had to restart the game.
-Dogs clip through walls.
-Dogs poop in walls.
-Dogs get into fights with dogs in other kennels.
-The game becomes horribly laggy when you put dogs into kennels that do not have food or water since they try over and over again to eat and drink from the empty dishes.
-Random lag and choppiness.
-The game let me build a play area with a fence that clipped into the dog bathing area. I had to demolish it, wasting a ton of money.
-Dogs stop eating and drinking for no reason and instead walk back and forth endlessly in their pens.
-The game crashes when a dog gets adopted from a foster home.

I'm very sad about the state of this game. I did manage to have some fun with it and the dogs are adorable, but the constant bugs and crashing just wore me down. Plus, the pacing is off and there are long periods of absolutely nothing to do. The pre-alpha demo was less buggy and had better pacing!
