Commander Doogie is a fast, one-finger arcade space shooter starring a very good dog with a very large laser budget. Dodge enemy fire, shred alien swarms, and battle six evolving mini-bosses as the action gets faster, stranger, and much more explosive. BUILD YOUR LOADOUT Swipe through three talent rows and choose the weapons, defenses, and experimental systems that fit your play style. UNLEASH THE POWER-UPS Call in independent Wingmen, launch homing rockets, chain lightning between targets, rain down bombardment fire, deploy Void Mines, bend time, and turn your ship into an orbiting blade saw. CLIMB THE RANKS Earn increasingly ridiculous pilot ranks, chase your personal best, and compete on the all-time Game Center leaderboard. COMPLETE THE MISSION Unlock 24 Game Center achievements, discover new enemy behaviors, and survive long enough to meet every mini-boss. Built for quick runs and easy one-finger control. No ads. No in-app purchases. Just one dog, one ship, and an unreasonable number of explosions.
