Evaluation

Flock of Dogs launched as a full 1.0 release on December 17, 2024, after a lengthy Early Access period. The developer, Max Clark, posted a candid and detailed development retrospective on February 10, 2025, in which he explicitly stated "A pretty good chance this is the last FoD update." That same post confirms he is pivoting to job applications, new game ideas, and personal projects — effectively signaling the end of active development on Flock of Dogs. The December 26, 2024 post similarly noted he didn't know "how much more time I can justify working on Flock of Dogs" and that he'd make efforts only up until the February Co-Op Fest event, which has now passed. The February 10, 2025 post was that final Co-Op Fest update. No future content has been announced, no roadmap exists, and there are no unreleased DLC entries on the store. The one DLC listed ("Do You Like My Hat?", a cosmetic hat pack) was released back in November 2022. All available evidence points to the game having reached its final state as of February 10, 2025.

About this game

Flock of Dogs is a quirky, top-down, co-op roguelike. Fly through the sky with your dogs, friends, and a floating whale. Everyone is headed to the Flying Festival at the end of the Air River. Battle monsters and help critters make it to the big party.

Procedurally generated, hand-drawn world
Feed, water, and level up your dogs
Pilot a flying whale that acts as your mobile battle station
Descend into caves to fight boss battles against massive Cave Beasts
Encounter critters and folks that need your help on the journey
Take a break with minigames at the dog park!

At its heart, Flock of Dogs is about being a weird world with friends. You can play locally and/or online. You can share a keyboard with one other friend. The progression in the game is focused on the dogs and the whale, so players can join or drop at any time and won't be left behind.

Maybe the best feature is the Friend Slot...

A Friend Slot allows one of your online friends to join you for free! Anyone can download the "Flock of Dogs - Friend's Pass" and then join the game of someone who purchased Flock of Dogs.

One Friend Slot comes with purchase
Invite any friend (and each time, it can be a different friend)
Friend Slots stack, so if two people own the game and are playing together, 2 more friends can join them using the Friend's Pass to make a team of 4.

Flock of Dogs is my little dream world. The music was created by my friends and family. Wherever and with whomever you play, I hope it's a magical flight.

-Max
