Super Long Nose Dog

Super Long Nose Dog builds a whole game around one silly, memorable idea. Its hero is a borzoi, the tall, slender sighthound known for an unusually long and narrow head, and here that nose can stretch far beyond anything a real dog could manage.

The stretching is how you interact with the world. According to the description, the dog uses its extraordinary nose to complete various tasks, defeat the enemies that get in its way and solve puzzles. That makes each stage a small problem of reach and route: where does the nose need to go, and what is between it and the goal?

The story behind it is framed as heartwarming, centred on a loyal borzoi who would do a great deal for the people it loves. That gives the odd premise an emotional anchor and a reason to keep helping the dog along. Expect a light, quirky puzzle adventure that is more about clever angles than speed, with an animal hero who is easy to root for.

1. Look at the task the level sets for the dog.
2. Stretch the borzoi's nose towards the target.
3. Steer around obstacles and deal with enemies.
4. Solve the puzzle to move on to the next stage.

Trace the route with your eyes before you stretch. Planning the path first saves you from tangling the nose around the wrong obstacle.
