How to play

  1. Your dog runs automatically. Swipe left or right to switch lanes.
  2. Swipe up (or tap) to jump and down to crouch. The button at the bottom right fires the special move.
  3. Chikuwa (Japanese fish cakes, a treat in this game) give you points — every 100 points makes you faster. Each stage hides one golden chikuwa.
  4. No misses, 70% of the chikuwa and the target time earn an S rank. On PC, play with a keyboard or a game controller.

FAQ

Is it really free? Any ads or purchases?

It's free. No ads, no in-app purchases, no lucky draws.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The iPhone and iPad version never goes online.

Only the browser version on unityroom sends area times to its leaderboard.

Is it OK for children?

It's rated 4+. No animal is ever hurt: a dog that bumps into something just looks a little sad. No account is needed.

Can I give chikuwa to my dog?

Chikuwa is a reward in the game only. It's salty, so please don't feed it to real dogs.

Where is my progress saved?

Automatically on your device (best score, best time, rank). Deleting the app deletes it. The browser version saves in that browser.

Do you use AI?

The dogs' 3D models were made with Meshy and the character-select illustrations with Google Gemini, then picked and adjusted by the developer. The code and in-game text were written with an AI coding assistant (Claude Code) and reviewed by the developer. No AI content is generated while you play. Music, sound effects and background models are human-made.

Privacy in short

  • No personal information is collected, and there are no accounts.
  • No ads, no analytics and no data sent anywhere.
  • Progress stays on your device and is deleted with the app.
