DoggyMups can join into packs of three. Each pack has special abilities.
Groups of the same kind of DoggyMups double the attack power, e.g., one of the HotDoggyMups can attack with fire (1 die), but two can attack with fireballs (2 dice) and three can attack with a fire tornado (3 dice per doggy mup).
Recently, Charlie and I had a long discussion in which we laid out a vision for how the DoggyMups universe and storyline should be organized. I have been meaning to try to capture our ideas, if only in thumbnail form.
DoggyMups start out as plain ol' DoggyMups that live in MuppyVille. NinjaDogCatchers live in ThePound and try to catch DoggyMups, which they take back to ThePound to make them work in various places. Your goal is to rescue the DoggyMups. We think you are a human being and how you got to MuppyVille isn't clear yet. To rescue DoggyMups, you need to have DoggyMups of the right kind. To get DoggyMups of particular kinds, you have to send them to ObedienceSchool. To convince DoggyMups to go to ObedienceSchool you need the right kind of DoggyMupTreats. As you find treats and train DoggyMups, you create a pack of DoggyMups which you can take with you to try to sneak into ThePound on a rescue mission. ThePound has various places where DoggyMups are imprisoned and made to work and shutting down each one will allow access to others, for example, the first place might be a power generation plant with HotDoggyMups loading coal into the furnaces. You need to train a HotDoggyMup and then get to the power plant and your HotDoggyMup can convince the other HotDoggyMups to go form a DoggyMupPack and you receive a special whistle that you can use to summon the pack when you need help. Once you've shut down the power plant, the force field around the rest of ThePound is shut off and you can advance to the next place in ThePound (where you will find out what kind of DoggyMup is imprisoned and return to MuppyVille to train one up). If you meet a NinjaDogCatcher, you will have to battle him and, if you lose, he will capture your DoggyMups and take them to ThePound, where you will have to go pay to get them out.
