BarkBar
SteamAbout BarkBar
Zombies on your taskbar. Good dogs on duty.
BarkBar is a cozy idle RPG that lives at the bottom of your screen. A pack of rescue dogs holds a narrow strip above your taskbar, bites through waves of zombies, grabs gold and loot — and gets stronger with every wave. The rest of the window is transparent: you work, the pack fights.
Plays while you work
•
Fully automatic battles — no buttons to press
•
The battle strip is just 1000×300 px; the rest of the window is see-through
•
Clicks pass through empty space to the windows underneath
•
Hides over fullscreen apps, has a power-saving mode (30 FPS) and three window sizes
•
Picks up exactly where you left off
Three breeds, one pack
•
Labrador — Eager Start: dives into every wave and bites 60% harder for the first 8 seconds
•
Shepherd — Second Wind: once per wave, when health drops below 35%, recovers part of it
•
Doberman — Keen Nose: +8% chance on every drop
•
Up to three dogs fight side by side, each with its own level, gear and a ten-skill breed tree
•
Bench any dog with one click and bring it back when you need it
Loot, gear and skills
•
Six gear slots — collar, teeth, harness, paws, leash, tag — and every item shows on the dog
•
Common, Uncommon, Rare and Epic loot; rare drops land with a beam of light
•
Gold buys gear and upgrades; bosses drop bones for the skill tree — 40+ skills in total
•
A threat marker on the map honestly tells you whether the pack is ready to move on
Zombies, werewolves and bosses
•
Frozen Pines: ten locations, from the Snowy Trail to the Summit Camp
•
Hundreds of waves of walkers, runners and brutes — plus werewolves that show up at the worst moment
•
Named bosses: Biker Chief, Sheriff, Riot Captain, Slobber, Blobber, Undead Werewolf and the Brute King
•
Every boss is a wall — gear the pack right and break through
