About the Game

Your dogs have been dognapped by a beaked lunatic named Glorkon who stuffed them into his eye holes and is using their life essence to destroy the universe. You're partnered with Trover, a little purple eye-hole monster who isn’t a huge fan of working or being put in the position of having to save the universe. He’s also not that big a fan of you quite frankly, and neither am I. (Jk, you’re great)

Only you and Trover can save everything in this bizarre comedy adventure, created by Squanch Games!

  • A comedy adventure filled with combat, platforming, puzzles, and morally questionable choices. See how the best intentions can go horribly awry.

  • You control Trover's movements, but not his mouth. He’s got a lot to say about what’s going on in the game.

  • Travel the cosmos to experience a variety of weird alien planets and bizarre characters with big personalities.

  • Upgrade Trover AND YOURSELF with new abilities to (hopefully) defeat Glorkon while evading awkward situations.

  • You'll be immersed in weirdness, no matter which display you use -- play on TV, monitor or VR headset displays.

  • BONUS! INCLUDES FREE DLC:

    • JOPO MODE: A new way to play!

    • IMPORTANT COSMIC JOBS: Explore Trover's workplace to help co-workers, prevent grievous harm, and unlock original comedy sketches.
