Facing death row, players pick between a quiet end or battling through the Alpha Dog dungeon for a shot at champion status. This ultra-low-rez arena shooter drops you into procedurally generated levels packed with enemy hordes called Cur. Start with a basic pistol, grab scattered weapons, and upgrade health to push deeper into infinite mayhem on PC.
Hunt 19 unique weapons with distinct handling, face varied enemy AI types, and uncover secret areas for rare gear. Online highscores let you rank against global players. Casual action fans who crave tight, pixel-packed arena shooters will keep coming back for high-score chases.
As a criminal on death row you can choose... Die quietly or die in the Alpha Dog dungeon! Choosing the dungeon will still bring certain death, but it may also grant you immortality if you can become the Alpha Dog champion by defeating the hordes of Cur over multiple levels using all your wits and the many weapons scattered throughout.FEATURES

WHY SO SMALL?
This game started from a simple premise - what's the smallest resolution that I can make a playable game in? After making some prototypes I realised that 90x45 was viable and set about making something that would be fun to play in such a small amount of pixels... and so Alpha Dog was born! I've always loved arena shooters, and the small play area lent itself nicely to this kind of casual shooter game. I've packed as much as possible into the tiny space available and I hope you enjoy playing it! Remember, it's not the size that counts, but what you do with it... ;)
