Gameplay
Russian Subway Dogs is simple enough for a puppy to pick up but still packed with challenge. Run and jump along the subway platform. Bark behind people to scare up food and bounce vodka around the stage. Soon you’ll be discovering high level strategies like cooking and eating rival wildlife with vodka explosions!
FACE IMPORTANT DOG CHOICES!
Will you eat the tasty but toxic chocolate for major points, or feed it to that pesky poodle that keeps stealing your shawarma?
Powerful foods!
Be careful, rival animals can eat and use power ups like hot sauce. Grab them fast or you could be facing down a charging fire elk!
It’s up to you to use your knowledge and abilities to stuff your stomach and cause as much chaos as possible!

History
Russian Subway Dogs started as a jam game created for the GDC Pirate Kart. That early rough version was well received with coverage on Indiegames.com as well as several let’s plays in both English and Russian, and was even picked as an official selection for Fantastic Fest’s Fantastic Arcade.
As you'd expect from a game created in a single weekend the prototype is extremely rough compared to the final version of the game which was over two years in the making. Everything from graphics to the core physics and frame rate have been massively improved and we've added a huge amount of new content including full campaign mode.
Original jam prototype created for the GDC Piratekart. So Primitive!
