Description
In Flock of Dogs, ride flying dogs that live on a flying whale. Together with your friends, go on a 2D, hand-drawn, procedurally-generated, Dr. Seussian, co-op, roguelike road trip through the sky! Multiplayer for 1-8 players online and/or local is supported. There's also a bunch of minigames.
At its heart, Flock of Dogs is about being in a dream world with friends. Players can join in the middle of your flight, you can share a keyboard, and if some players are having trouble, you can give them "floaties" to protect them. The progression in the game is focused on the dogs and the whale, so players are incentivized to cooperate. That's why each copy of Flock of Dogs comes with a Friend Slot. A Friend Slot allows one of your friends to join you for free. It's not exactly 2-for-1, but in some ways, it's better. Wherever and with whomever you play, Flock of Dogs is magical.
The music was created by Max's friends and cousins.

Bio
Hi, I'm Max, an indie dev trying to make his game take flight. Inspired by neighborhood parks, children's books, and the ex-racing Greyhound I had, I've been working on Flock of Dogs as my first commercial video game. I graduated from UC Irivine with a degree in physics in 2010 and worked in textbook publishing and insurance for several years, but thought the real world was too boring. Flying dogs and flying whales are my passion.

History
The idea for Flock of Dogs began in April 2016 with the goal of creating a larger, couch co-op game that could support at least 4 players locally, preferably more. I wanted to focus on game mechanics that actually rewarded cooperation and provide an experience deeper than most local multiplayer games available. When I was a kid, I played Overboard! for the original Playstation at a friend's house. We took turns controlling the pirate ship, but I thought it would be the most amazing experience if we could have crewed the ship together. So that, plus Loves in a Dangerous Spacetime, plus Star Fox 64, plus Dr. Seuss, plus Overcooked, plus Power Rangers, were my original inspirations. Then after Sea of Thieves was announced and released, Sea of Thieves also.
