Silly Sausage’s name may not recommend it, but the game itself is a great way to waste an hour. It has you contort a stretchy dog through a series of levels, each of which requires you to collect coins and dodge obstacles to access the final exit.

The gameplay is reminiscent of the old Snakes game that used to come bundled with Windows. The difference—beyond a sizable amount of polish—is that your dog can attach to anchor points to launch new investigations. (He also doesn’t die if he bumps into his own tail.)

Silly Sausage is tough enough to challenge but responsive enough to keep you from chucking your keyboard into the monitor. The difficulty slope doesn’t overwhelm you, but it does make beating it feel like a reasonable accomplishment. It’s also free, so there’s no reason not to check it out.
