Bark Avenue

Picture this: a crisp morning in Manhattan, a leash in each hand and a pack of eager dogs itching to get going. In Bark Avenue you take on the role of a dog walker and live through a day full of walks, happy faces and small challenges. Every dog has its own wishes: one wants a long walk, another really needs to go out, and some dogs get along just fine while others would rather not see each other. It is all about the puzzle of planning well. Which dogs do you take along, and can you get them home on time? Between walks you hop on public transport to put yourself in the best spot for your next round. Do your job well and you will get great reviews and unlock new options. That way you can soon walk more dogs at once, let them run free in the dog park or pop into the pet shop. But watch out: come home too late and you will miss out on a big part of your earnings. With a playing time of around an hour, Bark Avenue is a game that is nicely accessible and still gives you plenty to think about. New players jump right in, while seasoned puzzlers can sink their teeth into optimising every route. And whether you play alone or with a group of five, dog lovers will feel right at home here.
