Remember that time you dreamed of being a failing dog’s kidney? Your long awaited dream is about to come true in Renal Summer. You are a dog’s kidney and your job is to extend your dog and elderly owners’ lives. By tapping. A lot.
Part Tetris meets Candy Crush with a bit of Tamagotchi thrown in, the aim is to match up similar coloured toxins and clear them to keep your dog alive. Clearing toxins raises blood pressure which then requires less taps to clear the toxins. Did I mention there was a lot of tapping?
In the background, you watch old man plus dog going about their day in real time. Doing chores, playing fetch and making dinner in delightfully animated pixel graphics.
If you decide to put your phone down, be prepared for your phone to blow up with notifications about the pending demise of your dog.
What Renal Summer lacks in game play depth, it makes up for in charm and novelty. 7/10
