About the Game

Flock of Dogs is a quirky, top-down, co-op roguelike. Fly through the sky with your dogs, friends, and a floating whale. Everyone is headed to the Flying Festival at the end of the Air River. Battle monsters and help critters make it to the big party.

  • Procedurally generated, hand-drawn world

  • Feed, water, and level up your dogs

  • Pilot a flying whale that acts as your mobile battle station

  • Descend into caves to fight boss battles against massive Cave Beasts

  • Encounter critters and folks that need your help on the journey

  • Take a break with minigames at the dog park!

At its heart, Flock of Dogs is about being a weird world with friends. You can play locally and/or online. You can share a keyboard with one other friend. The progression in the game is focused on the dogs and the whale, so players can join or drop at any time and won't be left behind.

Maybe the best feature is the Friend Slot...

A Friend Slot allows one of your online friends to join you for free! Anyone can download the "Flock of Dogs - Friend's Pass" and then join the game of someone who purchased Flock of Dogs.

  • One Friend Slot comes with purchase

  • Invite any friend (and each time, it can be a different friend)

  • Friend Slots stack, so if two people own the game and are playing together, 2 more friends can join them using the Friend's Pass to make a team of 4.

Flock of Dogs is my little dream world. The music was created by my friends and family. Wherever and with whomever you play, I hope it's a magical flight.
