On four paws
After an introductory intro, you take control of Zero or Domino. Which of the two dogs you choose is up to you. There are no differences. As a puppy, you can bark and thus briefly stop enemy toys, rage, so hit a somersault to open boxes, sniff and dig.
The search for the captive siblings
As you search for your siblings, you walk the streets of London. You can find them in various places, such as Regent’s Park, Piccadilly or the Big Ben. Your opponents are the programmed toys of Cruella. Horace and Jasper do not make it easier for you. Not to forget is the fur trader LePelt. Your human opponents are not as easy to stop as the toys.
