Wobbledogs
Wobbledogs is a 3D pet simulation where you raise your own personal hive of rapidly mutating dogs, physically simulated all the way down to their guts! It’s a casual and chill sandbox experience for players of all ages who want to care for their very own virtual pets in a surprising, unique, and stress-free environment. The dogs start out relatively normal, but mutate and behave in surprising ways as the game progresses and their evolutionary lines advance.
Dogs have highly variable bodies controlled by a simulated genetics system. As they age, they periodically enter a pupal state and physically mutate. The foods they eat fill their guts with different flora, just like in the gif above. These flora influence the dogs’ mutations, letting you craft and mold them to fit your own idea of canine (im)perfection!
Dogs need a place to call home, and it’s up to you to create an appealing habitat to help them thrive. As you play, you’ll gain access to more and more objects and decorations. String together rooms and decorate them however you’d like. Give your dogs a relaxing place to sleep, set up an maze, or even cultivate a garden. There are no built-in goals, so you can prioritize whatever you like the most!
The dogs in this game are physically simulated, which adds a layer of uniqueness to almost every action they take. Two dogs with separate body structures will experience the world in different ways. They also have unique personality traits that influence the types of behaviors they tend to run and govern how they interact with other dogs and objects.
Wobbledogs is meant to be enjoyable simply to passively observe, but it’s also rewarding to interact with the dogs directly, whether that’s petting them to relieve some stress, tossing a pup around to watch it tumble through the pen, or helping your canine companion get free after it wriggled itself into a particularly tight space. These dogs try their best, but sometimes they need a bit of extra help!

A most joyous game. You get to make vile little petri dish babies and inbreed them till they start losing and gaining limbs and become an affront to God. I once concocted a baby with several birth defects by feeding it only dirt, fecal matter and biological offshoot from its brethren and it managed to produce a child with more bones than braincells and the aerodynamics of the survivor's bias plane model. One of my friends said this game is "so youcore" and I must agree. All men should wobble it.

I bullied one of my wobbledogs by putting it in a box with nothing but fans aimed at the center and a bunch of punching bags around and when it told me it was gonna die of old age I got so sad I nearly cried and re-evaluated everything that led me to do that and I physically could not play anymore for the night.

I have a dog with no legs and six wings, this game is actually everything to me.

The last game that I expected to leave me in tears is Wobbledogs. This brightly-colored doggy eugenics simulator will let you develop and create several affronts to god, have you become attatched to them and watch them die a gruesome cruel death (and later, be cannibalized by their fellow dogs). I am impressed at the elaborate genetics system which Wobbledogs possesses, and it really makes you feel like a nasty dog breeder while doing it, giving your hounds all kinds of disgusting deformities in the name of acquiring a specific trait.
You will forever be missed, Flinkley IV. You were a very square-shaped, sickly looking dog.

Fantastically weird game. It is so full of content, so inviting to the player, and so unserious. I yearn for another like it but fear this is the peak of truly bold and deep fried game development.

i like to hatch dogs in tiny prison cells and watch as they slowly starve to death so i can feed their limbs to my much cooler dogs to keep them alive and kicking. 11/10 game would recommend.
