Keep the dog and its ever-growing nose safe

Long Nose Dog is a free game based on avoiding obstacles. The main character is a dog with a nose that won’t stop growing until he hits an object. The goal is to make sure that its nose grows as much as possible for a good score.

The idea of controlling an ever-growing dog’s nose may sound strange. However, in practice, the concept is not much different from games with worms or snakes, like Worms Zone.io – Voracious Snake or Slither.io. As with these titles, you’ll be controlling a wiggly character prone to colliding with things.

Dodge the obstacles

Long Nose Dog is the sort of game that combines a very simple premise with some surprisingly tricky gameplay. As the dog’s nose continues to grow, your job is to steer it left and right to ensure that it doesn’t hit any obstacles. This is harder than it sounds, as the obstacles come thick and fast.

A variety of settings

The game features a variety of cartoon settings, including a desert, road, house, underwater, and more. Each environment has its own obstacles, some of which can move — like cars on the road or sharks underwater. This gives players a bit more challenge. The settings are juggled randomly each time you play.

A punishing game

Despite its cheerful visuals and mellow soundtrack, Long Nose Dog requires the player to make split-second moves and punishes you if you fail. Even the tiniest error will cost you the game. Unless you watch an advert, you’ll head right back to the start, losing the chips you collected.

Appropriate for all ages

Aside from the brutal difficulty, the game is appropriate for all ages. The colorful cartoon graphics and simplicity mean that children will enjoy it. Meanwhile, older players can play it as a time-killer, assuming they don’t mind the trickiness.
