Here’s some pawsitively exciting news that’s bound to get your tails wagging: Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines is swinging onto PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox on 15th August 2024. It’ll launch on digital storefronts courtesy of publisher Super Rare Originals at £12.99 / €14.99 / $14.99. No mention of PlayStation platforms just yet, surprisingly!
Grapple Dog was a surprise favourite of mine when it launched in early 2022, with tight momentum-based platforming and impeccable GBA-era vibes.
I wrote a review back in 2022 which you can find on this very site.
Here are a few official highlights from publisher Super Rare Originals:
Pure platforming bliss – Fast-paced swinging action meets a whole host of fresh abilities, such as magnetic panels and fire-dashing, all coming together as a tight, fun platforming romp!
New worlds – Journey across dimensions in an epic quest to save… everything! Each unique world is bustling with vibrant, eye-catching pixel art and bubbling with personality!
Gameplay galore – Sail across the cosmos to explore multiple worlds filled with tons of levels. Hidden collectibles, secret areas, memorable boss battles, bonus levels, time trials, and more to sink those canines into
Exhilarating soundtrack – Jazz Mickle’s catchy, killer soundtrack will have Grapple Dogs’ beats stuck in your head forever, with level-by-level jams that are sure to get that tail waggin’!
