Save the Doge

Save the Doge scores efficiency rather than just success, protecting Doge from bees, spikes, or bombs is only half the goal, doing it with the least ink drawn is what actually earns the top star rating, which turns a simple barrier-drawing puzzle into a minimalist design challenge.

Because every stroke counts against your score, drawing a single continuous barrier that blocks multiple threats at once tends to score higher than several separate short strokes covering the same area. Studying where a level's hazards actually converge before drawing anything, rather than reacting to each threat as it appears, usually reveals a leaner barrier shape than an improvised one. Save My Pet covers a similar animal-rescue premise through slower, more traditional puzzle-solving.
