Okay, so Cabbage Patch Kids: The Patch Puppy Rescue is exactly what it sounds like—a weirdly wholesome GBA game where you run around as those round-faced dolls rescuing lost puppies. It’s got that early 2000s charm, all bright colors and chunky sprites, and yeah, it’s basically a nostalgia trip if you grew up with the dolls.

You’ll wander through these little themed areas—forests, beaches, that kind of thing—tracking down puppies hiding under bushes or stuck in holes. Some of them are easy to spot, others take a bit of poking around. There’s a weirdly satisfying loop to it, like a low-stakes scavenger hunt with wagging tails at the end.

And of course, because it’s Cabbage Patch Kids, there’s a lot of hugging and naming the puppies once you find them. It’s not exactly deep, but it’s cute in a way that makes you smile even if you’re not the target age. Just don’t expect any hidden depth—this is pure, sugary comfort food for the inner kid who still thinks adopting a pixel dog is a big deal.
