## What is Get 'Em?

Get 'Em is an action packed, first of its kind, open world free-roaming video game! Play as superhero crime fighting dogs, on a mission to track down the city's most ruthless gangster, save their dognapped friend, and restore their city back to its glory days.

After Leila, a helpless Yorkie is dognapped, three best friends come together to find out what happened. You can start the game by picking one of 3 characters. Are you going to be Pump, the resilient Doberman, Bentley, the fierce Chihuahua, or Marley, the kind Beagle? As you accomplish more missions and get closer to tracking down the city's mob boss, you meet and unlock more friends along the way! Not only can you play as different dogs, but you can customize outfits, and enhance their powers! 

You have never played a game like this before! Get 'Em is fully indie-made, and will feature many different styles of gameplay! Have you ever wanted to be an animal, in a big city? Have you ever wanted the ability to play "inside" a 3D cartoon or comic book, like a video game? If you like first person games, guitarhero-style games, third person games, infinite runner games, top-down games, and open world games, Get 'Em is for you!

### 5/5 — Please more

I love the game that's why I gave it a 5 stars but I have been waiting for ever I get it is a lot to finish I hope you see this I will be very happy

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2025-02-23, version 1.2.2*

It’s a super fun game, the art and storyline is amazing and very entertaining!

### 5/5 — Good Game But:

*2023-09-02, version 1.2*

This is a wonderful game! The comic-like graphics, short comic strips, and open-world style make it very easy to want to play it for hours on end — that’s why I’m giving it a five-star review. The only problem — and I’m sure it doesn’t even have anything to do with an error on your guys’ part — is that I’m stuck on the race with Gus the Siberian Husky. I’ve tried so many times but the closest I’ve gotten is beating him to the finish line and getting twelve rings. I even saved up for Pump just because I thought he’d be faster since he’s bigger, just to realize he’s slower. So if there is any advice or tips you could give me on that, it’d be a great help. Thank you!
Edit: Just beat him the day after writing this!

### 4/5 — Make pitbull available

*2023-07-30, version 1.2*

Can u pls make pitbull available to unlock

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2023-03-03, version 1.2*

I accidentally removed my old review from about 5 years ago so I will rewrite it here. It probably needed updating anyways lol. 

I’ve been playing for about 5 years. It’s like the dog GTA. It’s amazing because I love open world games with missions and I really love dogs. The art style, the character models, the customization with them- everything about this game is great. Just one main question.

Will this game ever see further development? For years I have been waiting for new missions to get added. I don’t wanna seem impatient or rude I would just love to know what’s going on. Is there maybe a social media I can follow to get updates on this game?

I just love this game a lot and would love to know what’s going on with it.

### 5/5 — Cool game)

*2022-08-03, version 1.1.8*

A good game, it's just a pity that updates are not coming out (

### 5/5 — I love it!

*2022-06-25, version 1.1.8*

This is by far the best dog game I ever played!!! I love this game I don’t know why some people say “It’s Scary” or it’s bad. This game is awesome I do have one quick question? Do you have to complete a level to unlock lucky? But I 100% recommend this game to anyone that likes dog games!

### 5/5 — Lucky removed?

*2022-04-25, version 1.1.8*

I love this game, I used to play it on my iPhone 6s and I recently got an iPhone 11 so I redownloaded it and I noticed the Easter egg for Lucky is gone. He’s my favorite dog and I really wanna play as him again. Maybe he’s not removed and you just have to do something to get him first? I don’t remember doing anything to get him the first time though.

Also, I re-wrote this review a year ago and I regret it cuz it automatically removed my review from four or five years ago, oof lol. But I’m just wondering, I’ve been playing it for like half a decade and there’s never been anything new added in. Will the game ever see further development? I would love that so much.
