# Doge games: much meme, such wow

Source: https://roam.new/doge-game/

Doge is the Shiba Inu with the side-eye look, surrounded by colourful text like "such wow" and "very game". It is one of the most loved memes ever made. A Doge game puts that dog and that goofy text into something you can play.

## Who Doge was

Doge was a real dog named Kabosu, a Shiba Inu from Japan. Her owner, a kindergarten teacher, posted the famous photo on her blog in 2010. In 2013 the internet added Comic Sans text in broken English, and Doge was born.

Kabosu lived a long and happy life and died in May 2024, aged 18. Fans around the world shared their thanks. There is even a statue of her in her home town of Sakura.


## How the such wow style works

The Doge style has a few simple rules, and they make good game text too.

- **Two-word lines**: Start with such, much, very, so or many, then add a word that does not quite fit. "Very jump." "Much coin."
- **Bright Comic Sans**: Text in pink, green, yellow and blue, scattered around the dog.
- **End with wow**: Every Doge picture needs at least one plain "wow".

## Doge game ideas

- **Such dig**: Doge digs for bones in a desert. Each bone pops a "much treasure" message.
- **Very fetch**: Throw the ball, Doge runs, and you get points for distance and wow.
- **Wow runner**: Doge runs and jumps while Doge-speak floats up with every combo.
