In the ever-expanding world of Telegram tap-to-earn games, Dog Pooper stands out with its unique blend of humour and strategy. While most games in this genre quickly fade into monotony, Dog Pooper manages to capture attention with its inventive gameplay and strategic depth.
Gameplay Mechanics
Dog Pooper introduces a distinctive swipe-to-combine mechanic, reminiscent of games like Catizen. However, instead of combining cats, players combine piles of dog poop to create larger and higher-level poops. Despite the seemingly absurd concept, the game presents a surprisingly engaging challenge.
Players start with a kennel of dogs, each contributing to the pile of poop on the board. As dogs poop, players must combine poops of the same level to upgrade them. The ultimate goal is to achieve a level-30 poop, but this requires careful management of limited board space and strategic use of available resources. The game’s pace, combined with the need to constantly optimise and manage the dropping poops, adds a layer of complexity rarely seen in Telegram games.

Strategic Depth
The game’s true challenge lies in its fast-paced nature and the need for constant vigilance. Unlike many tap-to-earn games that allow for passive play, Dog Pooper demands active engagement. The rapid drop of poops means players must make quick decisions, ensuring they combine poops efficiently and manage the board space wisely.
Unlocking additional board space and handling the increasing speed of poop drops requires strategic thinking and quick reflexes. This makes Dog Pooper a more engaging experience compared to other Telegram games that often rely on mindless tapping.
Future Prospects and Airdrops
Currently, Dog Pooper lacks extensive features, with future updates promising additional functionalities such as interactions with top-level poops and the ability to buy and sell dogs. The details of these updates and the timing of their release remain unclear.
The game’s airdrop plans are similarly vague, with mentions of a PP token being developed on The Open Network (TON). While the airdrop aspect is part of the game’s future, it’s not the primary focus at this stage.
