Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game is offered at a lower price during Early Access. We may gradually raise the price as we add new content and features. Early Access purchasers will receive all future updates at no additional cost.”

About This Game

🐕 What is Bow-wow Battle?

Your microphone is your weapon.

Bow-wow Battle is a real-time 1v1 battle game where you become a dog and bark at full volume into your microphone!

🌐 Steam Online Multiplayer!

Bark against players from around the world in real time! Auto-matching finds you an opponent instantly. Push the tug-of-war gauge with your voice volume and bark count! Friend invites supported.

🎮 Simple to Play

Pick your dog! (Choose from 7 breeds)
Bark! (Bark into your mic!)
Win! (Push the tug-of-war gauge to 100% for a K.O.!)

Both voice volume and bark count move the gauge. Screaming alone won't cut it — clear, distinct barks are the key to victory.

⚔ Dog Road — Story Mode

8 stages of boss battles! From Park Puppy to Legendary Dog, defeat them all to become the ultimate dog. Clear each stage to unlock new breeds. Beat the final boss to earn the title "Dog Road Master"!

🦀 Crab Survival

Waves of crabs are attacking! Blow them away with your voice! 5 types of item drops to help you survive longer. Aim for the highest score!

🐶 7 Unique Dog Breeds

Shiba Inu, Pomeranian, Chihuahua, Toy Poodle, French Bulldog, Corgi, and Golden Retriever. All drawn in a warm, hand-drawn colored-pencil art style. Happy smiling dogs transform into fierce barking faces during battle!

🎙️ Full Voice Control

Navigate menus with your voice:

"Woof!" ×1 = Confirm
"Woof! Woof!" ×2 = Navigate
"Woof! Woof! Woof!" ×3 = Cancel

Play without ever touching your keyboard — full bark control mode! (Keyboard controls also supported)

📋 Daily Challenges & Titles

3 daily challenges generated automatically! Complete them to earn WP. Unlock titles like "Shiba Master" and "Corgi Legend" based on your wins with each breed!

📺 Perfect for Streaming

Watching someone bark at full volume is entertainment in itself. Streamers and VTubers — your audience will love this.

You are free to stream, record, and upload videos of this game. Monetization is welcome. Show the world your best bark!
