Dogz on the GBA is one of those weirdly charming little pet sims where you pick out a pup (there’s a few breeds, but honestly they all kinda look like blobs with ears) and just… hang out. You buy toys, toss a ball around, and try not to accidentally neglect your pixel dog into running away—which happens faster than you’d think. The controls are janky, but there’s something weirdly satisfying about watching your blocky little buddy wag its tail when you pet it.

It’s not deep, but if you ever wanted a Tamagotchi-style time-waster with slightly more barking, this is it. Just don’t expect miracles from the graphics.
