Desktop Dog Park

I really wanted to like this chill desktop idle game where you build and decorate a park at the bottom of your screen. The idea of collecting coins, unlocking new breeds, and hiring an attendant while working on other things sounded great. I actually posted a detailed bug report in the discussions a whole month ago. I prefer to give developers a chance to fix things rather than just leaving a negative review right away. However, it has been a month with zero response and no updates, so it seems like they just don't care.

The game is currently full of frustrating bugs. The pets are constantly sick, and using the med kit only makes them healthy for a single second before they immediately revert right back to sick. There is also a major glitch with the upgrade system where buying the auto collect coin upgrade automatically marks auto clean park as owned too. Because of this, the park manager achievement is broken and will not trigger even when you currently own all the upgrades.

The idle mechanics themselves don't even work properly. Even if you have the upgrades, you still have to dig up all the poops manually. This gets especially frustrating when the poop lands on decorations or items because those spots become completely undiggable. On top of that, if you leave the game idle for a while, the attendant just wanders around instead of doing their job. They completely stop filling the food and water bowls, leaving all the dogs starved and dehydrated.

There are also basic features missing that make building your park a pain. Once you place decorations and items down, there is absolutely no way to pick them up or move them to adjust your layout. There is also no toggle to hide the game while it is running. It's a shame because the concept is fun, but I can't recommend a game that is left in this state.
