I wanted so badly to like this game; the art style is amazing, and the gameplay is frenetic... when the game is working properly. I keep getting a glitch that when I return dogs to the kennel after taking them out of the show pen where they don't recognize the food and water in their kennel. Because of that, they start to starve and become dehydrated despite their food bowl and water bowl being filled. The only way to fix it is to run back to the kennel and take the dog in and out of the kennel for a second time. This would be easy enough if it weren't for the fact it happens to five dogs at once and there's a million other things going on. This game is quick enough paced that having to detour to fix a glitch that it really ruins the flow. The second glitch that is really frustrating is that, once I finished the story, dogs just... stopped spawning with any regularity in my intake pen. I would have 20+ pens open for dogs, but only 4-5 would be full. I would only get one or two dogs spawning in my intake pen every other in-day game. This game is just not designed to be able to work with so few dogs. I stand around with nothing to do in a game that's supposed to be fast paced. When clients come in asking to look at adoptable dogs, I don't have enough variety to meet their special requests or even to impress them. (You have to show each person at least five dogs to convince them to adopt, and if you only have five 1-2 star dogs, your game comes to a stand still because no one will adopt). This really was the death knell for this game. I could work around the first glitch with the dogs not recognizing food, but the slow spans just making me stand around for five minutes waiting for anything to do in the game was just... bad. It's supposed to be a fast-paced game that has me sweating bullets, and it just made me yawn.
