### 1/5 — Waste of my time!

*2024-09-02*

The reviews were great on this game and as I have a pug myself I thought this game would be good but it’s not that great! The pugs are cute and there is a very small choice of accessories and I did sort of enjoy the little cutscene but it was just weird. Then for some reason we’re being chased by PAPER!!! Just weird! I tried to pass on it but after ages of running I thought I’d be at the end of a level or something and was getting fed up! Even with the 3 revives you get it didn’t take long for it to be difficult and I gave up especially when the balloon ‘power up’ dived me into 2 CATS! To be honest this game is a waste of time and creators I’m sorry but your game isn’t great at all! Do NOT play! Waste of time!

I LOVE pug run. It is so much fun to play and try to beat other people’s scores. I do think like once you get far enough then you can choose between more than one map and there is a different scoreboard for each map.
