Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
88 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Dog Sled Saga has a nostalgic feel and despite the simplicity, enjoyable gameplay, that might get a bit repetitive if you want to clear the game in one sitting.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is adorable and the dogs have awesome running animations.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty seems to be balanced just fine - there are different consequences for your failures, the worst that can happen is for you to waste some time and lose some dogs, which you can recover later anyways, so there is really no way to lose the game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound effects: Good, the wind and dog panting are audio cues that the player must react appropriately.
