Every world is bursting with color, personality, vibrant characters, and unique mechanics to push your pawsome platforming powers to infinity and beyond!
WITH BRAND NEW FEATURES 🐶
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 - all in a cool 60 FPS.
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'!
TWO DOGS ARE BETTER THAN ONE
More action = more dogs! Mysterious newcomer Luna joins the adventure, with her weaponry adding exciting new gameplay features to the fray. Alternate between playing as the swingin' hero Pablo and the shoot-first-ask-questions-later anti-hero Luna as the two journey across worlds and dimensions, keeping your adventure fresh and engaging from start to finish. Whether you're swinging, butt-bouncing, or wall-climbing your way to victory, or aiming, blasting, and running, no two levels are quite the same.
But we've got some super exciting news to share! We've partnered up with Makeship to bring you a limited-edition Pablo plushie! Now is your chance to get your very own Grapple Dog and pet the best boy IRL!
The first 400 to adopt their very own huggable Pablo plush, will receive a free Steam key for Grapple dog!
The preorder window for the plushie will be running from now until March 17th, with estimated shipping in early June! Please note that the production and shipment of the plushie will be entirely handled by Makeship and not by Super Rare Originals or Medallion Games.
During Steam Next Fest back in October, we offered a fresh glimpse at OTXO, our upcoming fast-paced and dark roguelite with precise but savage gunplay and time-bending slow motion.
We're now excited to be able to share that OTXO is coming to Steam on April 20th! And in celebration of this release date announcement, you can now revisit a stream developer Lateralis and Super Rare Games' Ryan Brown hosted during Next Fest to learn more about the inexplicable, abstract Mansion you'll be able to enter in April.
If you like what you see, don't forget to wishlist the game! This will appease the Algorithm Gods™. 🙏
That's game #3 for Super Rare Originals, following Grapple Dog and LONE RUIN... what could be next?
