A Dog Tale is a game where you keep impaling a bald, glasses-wearing man on to cacti until he is dead.

You also have the option to collect bones and keys, but it’s mainly about being killed by cacti.

It’s not like the cacti are chasing after you. They are static. The thing is, you are so rubbish at jumping, you just fall into them a lot.

Luckily the game is short – just one level. And you do get to see a dog, briefly.
