It's Hard Being a Dog

It's Hard Being a Dog is a 2D roguelike hack-and-slash platformer in which you play as a dog. Fight creatures with biting, barking and dashing, and collect items that appear as you progress through waves of increasingly strong enemies. Each map has its own setting and is associated with a god.

Maps and bosses

The game has five maps and bosses inspired by Greek mythology, with creative interpretations rather than exact retellings:

• Arachne: goddess of arachnids and boss of the dungeon.
• Zeus: god of thunder and boss of the forest.
• Artemis: deer god and boss of the ruins.
• Cerberus: guardian and boss of the void.
• Unknown: boss of the library.

Dog cosmetics

You can equip one cosmetic of each type: a hat, a trail and a pet. Pets provide stat boosts, such as increased movement speed.
