Help the housekeeping bill skyrocket to six figures in a flash as the unsupervised Pome crashes into crates of wine, shakes sodas all over the sofa, and leaves paw prints on prized possessions. No one could get mad at a tiny puppy…right?

Spread mud and a plethora of paint colors across the freshly mopped floor to uncover hidden puppy pictures around the (formerly) valuable home. Return misplaced toys to their rightful rooms to open new areas and passages. Cross each tier of irreversible damage to unlock gadgets like fans, vacuum robots, and paint turrets, perfect for covering every square foot with colorful stains!

Locate and unlock aww-inducing accessories lying around the house and hop on the latest pet fashion trends. Sniff out some cool shades, celebrate a hard day’s work with a party hat and balloons, make giant messes with paint-spraying whale and elephant hats, or don a devious pair of devil horns – a perfect fit for oh-so-innocent puppies.

Go hands-on with DORONKO WANKO’s newest content ahead of launch at Bitsummit from July 18th-20th, 2025. 

“Everyone wants to escape reality and cause a little chaos sometimes! DORONKO WANKO’s easy pickup-and-play-as-a-puppy nature is a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch’s portability,” says publisher Phoenixx Inc. “We look forward to welcoming even more dog lovers of all ages looking to let loose on the go!”
