Andi and Bruce have found an abandoned hotel, but keeping it running means much more than opening the doors. You explore the building and nearby areas, bring lost dogs back to safety, meet each animal's needs, and stay one step ahead of the dogcatcher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRescue, care, and improve the hotel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main loop combines light exploration with pet-care tasks. Dogs need attention through activities such as feeding, petting, cleaning, grooming, and play. Those interactions are tied to the larger goal of keeping the animals healthy, content, and hidden inside their improvised home. New objectives send you through the hotel's rooms and beyond its walls to locate dogs, find useful objects, and solve the next practical problem facing the shelter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProgress is arranged across ten levels, each with goals that move the movie-inspired story forward. The structure is approachable, but the game gives players several kinds of jobs instead of repeating a single care routine: search the environment, collect specified parts, assemble a solution, then use it to help the dogs or protect the hotel. Characters and dogs from the film provide the setting, while the game focuses on the work required to turn the abandoned property into a functioning canine refuge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuild gadgets for the dogs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBruce's inventions are a central part of play. You search for parts and tools, return to the workshop, and build more than a dozen contraptions designed for the hotel's unusual residents. These devices support the care and protection of the dogs rather than serving as simple collectibles. The result is a blend of hidden-object searching, straightforward construction puzzles, and virtual-pet management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore hotel rooms and outdoor locations to rescue additional dogs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed, clean, groom, pet, and play with the canine residents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFind parts and tools for more than a dozen useful gadgets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete ten story-driven levels while avoiding the dogcatcher.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNintendo DS play and current requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the North American Nintendo DS version, developed by FarSight and published by 505 Games.
