Pug Trouble is a short, 5-level, partly randomly generated action game in which you blow up blocks to collect gems and search for an exit while destroying enemies along the way. You can upgrade your drill between runs and fight a level boss on the last floor of each level. Your choices determine how you build your character, and since the game is short, you can experiment with various builds. Each level can be replayed as many times as you like until you unlock and complete the final boss level.
