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!

One of my proudest achievements is sitting down with a real physical notebook and taking notes on the genetics of my winged dogs to figure out how to breed for them. After that I did enough experimenting and note-taking to determine the genetics of each wing type. I made a whole chart about it. It was the most fun I've ever had doing science and I felt so smart once my hypotheses were proven correct. The genetics are so complex and interesting, but everything is coated in a layer of silly fun that really makes for a great experience.
There is something very wrong with these dogs and I love them so very much.

It's a genetics game about dogs that wobble. Which is the best possible kind of game.

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 don't care that this game lags my PC so badly despite having everyone on the lowest setting. I will do anything for these dogs, they need me to feed them and mutate them then so I shall. I am nothing but a shepard in this herd of dogs, and they wobble in thanks to my guidance and protection. Wobble on, little dogs. Wobble on.

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

Amazing and very cute game. It's so silly! The most realistic element is that I can inbreed them until I get traits I find cute that degrade their quality of life.

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.
