Feed the Pup is a heart-warming match-3 puzzler out now on iOS

• Feed the Pup is out now on iOS
• Help fulfil a young girl’s quest
• New levels and challenges to be added regularly

Feed the Pup has officially launched on iOS, following last month’s announcement that hinted at something a little softer from Plug in Digital. Known for offbeat hits like Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion and Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, the publisher is taking a gentler turn here, swapping anarchic humour for a heartfelt match-three journey that’s all about family, legacy, and a very hungry pup.

This isn’t your typical puzzle experience. Feed the Pup weaves its narrative through a young girl’s quest to fulfil her grandmother’s last wish, unlocking pages of her diary with each milestone. It’s sentimental without being sappy, pairing bite-sized story moments with clever, evolving mechanics.

As you match your way through beautiful, minimalist landscapes, you’ll also collect accessories to dress up your dog, allowing you to personalise your journey in charming ways. You will also be rewarded with milestone badges that commemorate key moments.

The gameplay might look familiar, but it’s been designed with a few thoughtful twists. Regular content updates add new levels, while the weekly Trail challenges test your puzzle skills with a seven-stage gauntlet and a badge for those who finish it on time. Each win feels like progress and ensures your adventure is anything but static.

There’s a meditative quality to how it all comes together, the art, the calming music, and the gentle pacing. It’s the kind of experience that invites you to slow down and take your time, even as it quietly pushes you forward through more complex puzzles and meaningful milestones.

If you’re looking to take away something a little more heartfelt from your next puzzle fix, Feed the Pup is available now on iOS. It is free-to-play with in-app purchases.
