Sniff Scout or Scare

Be the dog: sniff out buried treasure, scout the neighbourhood and scare off the squirrels. Mark Barney’s nonviolent dog game for iPhone, now in TestFlight beta.

Sniff, scout, scare

Be the dog. The world starts out grey until you sniff it into colour. Dig up buried treasure, scout the woods, parks and city streets, bark the squirrels up a tree and carry your finds home to your Human. Nobody gets hurt: your dog has bravery instead of health, and when it has had enough, it runs home.

Where it stands

In early beta on iPhone through Apple’s TestFlight, with Android to follow. Email Mark to join the beta.
