Collared

About

Collared is a pixel art platformer where you control a dog thief cursed with a collar that lets her twist the world. Solve puzzles by rotating sections of each level to create paths, bypass obstacles, and reach objectives. Early stages teach basics like shifting platforms while later levels add hazards like inactive machinery and locked doors. Controls are tight and responsive making it easy to experiment with each twist and jump. The game’s creative level design stands out with puzzles that force you to think in multiple dimensions. Players note the charm of its anthropomorphic animal characters and the satisfying click of solved mechanics. Though short at around five hours the pacing keeps things fresh without dragging. Released in 2020 it maintains a dedicated fanbase for its clever use of perspective.
