In this game you are a pug and your mission is to keep everything just the way you like it: keep the other dog in the house away from your food, scare/chase the cat (trying to play with it) while also getting as much attention as possible from your owner and their friends.

This game is based off a "spinning plate" concept where the player has multiple events that they have to give their attention to. With multiple events all happening at the same time, the player will have to prioritise and manage their time wisely.

The aim of the game is to balance these three tasks so that you satisfy your need to have an equal amount of the things you love. But to also keep an eye on what you need to prioritize, making sure one or even two of these needs are not completly deplited.

In this game the player plays as a pug. The pug had been following a cat who started climbing a tree, however, you were not so good at climbing. You made it half way up the tree when you misplaced your footing and fell. In this game the player will need to calculate and dodge their fall, avoiding objects that will hurt you and get in your way. The pug will fall with their back to the ground and when the player feels like the ground is coming up they need to quickly turn around with their feet to the ground. The pug will fall with its back to the ground because it will be easier to avoid objects, such as brunches and leaves that will invade your vision. The player will be given the movement of left and right, however, the full effect of the movement will not be predictable as the pug is falling.

In this multiplayer game the players will play as a group of pugs. It will be an endless runner style game where the pugs will have a constant movement around a map, which will be in a maze form. Players will need to direct their pugs around the map while also making sure they do not run into any other player and squish them. The game play will be asymmetrical with one player playing the enemy and the rest working as a team to avoid not only the enemy but each other.

The enemy pug will not be given any map and will roam the maze without any indication of other players, except on the actual maze. Memorable landmarks will be scattered round for each player to remember and let each other know where they are.

In this two player platform game one player plays as a pug and the other plays as the owner. The owner is taking their pug for a walk so has put their pug on a lead. This means that the player controlling the pug has limited movement, depending on the owner. The owner will have control over how fast and far the pug can move. The pug can only move if you owner is moving, or as far as the lead can reach either side of the owner.

The pug and the owner have different positives and negative abilities, for example, pug can scare away cats and the owner attracts them. In some cases the pug will be attracted to a certain thing/object, such as a fire hydrant, and will pull the owner with them. Both players will have no input into the sudden attraction and movement of the pug until they have reached the targeted area, which could benefit the players or drag them into a dangerous area. As a team the players will work together to get through the levels.

In this game you are a pug who has woken up in the middle of the night wanting a mid-night snack. Since it is night the house is pitch black, making it very difficult for you to navigate yourself to your food bowl. Luckily you have an unusual talent, which is not normal for pugs but a natural one for whales. Making clicking sounds helps you navigate and identify your physical surroundings. The sound waves bounce off an object and return to you, allowing you to have a better understanding of what is around you. This game will be a platform game where it is almost pitch black. To guide your pug to their food bowl, the player will need to use the pugs special talent. To make the clicking sound the player will need to hit a key rhythmically, which will give you some visibility of what is in front of you. The player's vision will only be clearer if they are getting the rhythm correct, with the better it is the more vision a player will get.

In this game you are a pug who is on a mission. All of your favourite dog treats have run out so you decide to take matters into your own hands and go out and get them yourself. The store is quiet a long way away, it would be a very long walk and you just don't have the energy for it. So you decide to take the car instead. Everything's going great until you realise you need to be able to look out of the front windscreen to navigate and see obstacles. Luckily you have just enough vision to see out of your two side mirrors, meaning that you cannot see out the front but you can see left and right with limited vision of what is behind you. This is a vehicle simulation game where, as the pug, you must get to the treat store as quick as you can, doing as little damage to you and your surroundings with only the vision from your side mirrors.

In this game you are a pug who has set out to complete a series of quests. In this role-playing game the player will be set with a series of quests that will advance them into the narrative of the game. However, there will also be slightly different options and side quests which are voluntary and may be for good or evil - like the game Fable. Depending on the quests you do and chose to do, you will get 'skill' points based on what you have done. This creates a choice of becoming evil or good, whatever the player choses to advance in they will be in the corresponding team. There will be conflicts between the two sides and whatever you are more of (good or evil), that is the side you will fight for. The player will mostly be able to chose what 'skills' they want to develop or even try to keep an exact balance of good and evil.

In this game you are a pug. This game will be a race between pugs to see who can push their toy ball to the finish line first. As pugs walk on all fours, the player will need to come up with a successful method to push the ball along. As there will be multiple pugs racing, each opponent can try and knock the other players ball away from them. This will have to be a well thought through move as taking the time to know another players ball out of the way will cause you to stop pushing your own ball. Players will need to pass the finish line quick as as time goes on the density of the ball becomes greater. As the ball gets harder to push, players will need to come up with more effective and creative ways to get their ball past the finish line.
