‘Sky Puppy’ Saves a Pup From a House on Fire

Puzzle game Sky Puppy, made for the 10th Factory Creative Game Jam, sees you trying to save a puppy that is trapped inside a cluttered house that’s on fire.

You are a cube-shaped dog who is trapped inside this house. Around you are various furniture objects and small patches of fire, all on top of a grid-based floor. You can move around, but the path to the door always seems to be full of objects or fire.

In each level, you have a limited amount of time and water buckets to help you make it to the door. You’ll need to clear a path through moving the objects around you and putting out these fires. Different objects take up different amounts of space and can’t be moved unless there is enough room, so you will need to plan out your route and make sure you can successfully travel along it, especially with the limited water buckets to put out fire.

While you are shifting around the objects, you can still move your dog character around in case that helps you out along the way. Once you have cleared a path, you can move your puppy to the door and escape this house, generating a new one to play through.

Sky Puppy is available for free on Itch.io.
