SLACKERJACK - Puppy Fetch
Then buzz it up

It's no real secret that dogs are stupid. Throw a stick for a smarter animal - like a dolphin or some humans - and they'll tell you that a) it's just a stick, b) there are millions of sticks on that tree over there, c) if the stick is that important to you, why did you just hurl it away? and d) you're a tosser.
You don't get any of that with dogs, do you? Dogs are loyal and unswerving in their devotion to man. And that's what Puppy Fetch is all about. Puppy Fetch is almost childishly basic at first - a man throws a stick and you have to chase after it, pick it up and return it - but the skill of Puppy Fetch lies in the speed you need to work at. Even though the only Puppy Fetch controls are the arrow keys and space bar, you'll need to master the timing of runs and jumps to the nanosecond if you want to reach the stick and get it back in the fastest time possible. And if you're like us, you'll be playing Puppy Fetch again and again to try and shave your time down by a fraction of a second each go.
