Up Dog: The Adventures of Cedric and Josh is all about getting the highest score possible by allowing Cedric to fly continuously. In order to maintain his flying, the player will tap right or left depending on Cedric’s direction. The player’s duty is to collect Cedric’s favorite food and at the same time avoid the falling objects. Cedric must collect and consume his favorite food which are the hotdog in a bun, broccoli, pumpkin pie, and bone-shaped butter cookie. Each delicacy has a corresponding effect on Cedric. Upon flying, Cedric will come across several obstacles caused by his archenemy Josh. These falling objects include flower pots, bricks, and empty jars. Cedric must be able to avoid these for it will definitely hinder his way up. The player must make sure that Cedric collects the baked goods and avoid the falling objects. To make the game more exciting and challenging, nature will take its course. Additional distractions such as lightning strike, hanging clothes, meteors, sun blast, comets, satellites and others will be present depending on the player’s level of the game.
