Anawiki Games and Retrostyle Games have teamed up for Dress-Up Pups (http://www.anawiki.com/game/dress-up-pups), an US$9.99 game for Mac OS X 10.3.9 and higher.

Here’s how the game is described: “It offers several variations on the ever-popular Match-3 style of gameplay. Dress-Up Pups provides the player with a varied challenge, by mixing standard ‘swap’ Match-3 mechanics with alternative ‘chains’ and ‘groups’ modes. The player is also provided with two forms of power-ups and each chapter of the story ends with a jigsaw puzzle mini game.

“The game follows the story of Pattie, who’s been working as office help at the Dress-Up Pups fashion agency for dogs. When her boss has to fly overseas on important business, she’s left in charge of the agency, and has to come up with creative outfits for a variety of eccentric clients. The dogs, their owners, their exchanges with Pattie, and the resulting outfits are all designed for maximum surprise and hilarity; there are no ‘ordinary’ clients at Dress-Up Pups.”

The game has 21 chapters, each consisting of several levels, and 10 different customers.
