## What is Turn?

Taylor the dog lost his pack and must find it again!

Turn-based Taylor is a retro-looking mobile game with a strategic turn-based battle system.

You play as Taylor the dog, who has lost his pack and must find it again. With the help of a mysterious NPC you travel across the land to find a way back to your pack. You collect snacks by defeating animals and with these snacks you can raise your stats, when you visit one of the gold cups. These gold cups serve as checkpoints and are always worth a visit.

The main components of the battle system are attack, defense and recovery. Use your stamina to attack and to defend yourself from attacks and then recover your stamina. Strategic planning is important, as you can't defend yourself without stamina, so you shouldn't simply attack, but plan your action depending on your enemies' decision. 

Taylor's advantage is his reaction time: You can foresee the enemies' attack one turn before it strikes. Plan your actions depending on this knowledge!
Find new attacks and master one or more of the four attack types: Physical, Ground, Water and Wind.

Meet many NPCs, defeat different enemies in large regions, solve puzzles in caves, forests, snowscapes and more, and eventually find a way back to your pack... if there is one!

### 5/5 — One of the best small games I’ve ever played.

*2025-07-29*

This has got to be the best game I’ve ever played by a small developer. It has all of my favorite elements like being 2d, a turned based system, and a lot of grinding! I recommend it for anyone who enjoys small, easy to play games

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your words. It‘s really motivating to hear that.

### 5/5 — This Game Is So Good

*2024-09-17*

This game is so good that I'm dead • (biologically speaking I am, in fact, alive. However, to emphasize how hilarious I found the comment just made, I made a hyperbolic statement saying that I was dead because it implies that I found the joke so funny I ceased to live.
However, I am indeed alive and well so there is no need for you all to worry. I was simply employing the tactic of figurative language in order to better and more effectively communicate my message.
Additionally, using slang and sayings commonly employed by the youth has made my message more understandable and reachable by the younger generation, many of whom are in this chat. For example, I could have said "that joke was a real knee slapper" This would have made sense to some of the older people in this chat as knee slapping used to be a sign of hilarity. However, in this digital age in common and many of today's youth may not understand the reference. I therefore made my message more understandable to younger people through my use of simple, easily understood slang. I hope this clears everything up, and I appreciate any concern that I was actually dead. I can assure you that I am live and well.)

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-04-02*

I truly love this game. When I first downloaded and started to play, I closed it because it seemed such a silly concept and I thought it was going to be too easy.A week later I decided to give it another try and I’m so glad I did. It’s so unique and so charming. But it’s still very challenging at times. In fact I haven’t been able to finish because I got stuck at the ice tunnels stage so I guess I wasn’t up to the challenge. But I’m hoping more people get into the game and write a guide for all us dummies. 
I have to say that this game has been my favorite game this year. So much to do, a different and interesting battle system and lots of puzzles to solve. I would encourage everyone who loves retro rpgs to give it a try. And not just because I want you to write a guide 🙃
