I love every inch of this game. From the swift gameplay down to the catchy soundtrack (help me I cannot stop listening to it) I am HOOKED from the moment I click play. The grapple feels incredibly good to use, and compared to the first game some level layouts reward you for abusing every weird physics that might come tagged along it. In the same aspect, Luna’s levels reward dexterity and hard to pull off tricks by hiding a couple collectibles here and there that seem just out of reach. It feels genuinely incredible to master the two grapple dogs. That said, though keyboard controls are alright for Pablo, they are “usable” for Luna. The game is much more streamlined using keyboard and mouse. That is a downside for some, for me it just amplified how nice it feels to master Luna’s mechanics. Either way, this game is a blast, every last bit of dialogue made me laugh, and now I’m here for whatever Medallion Games is cooking up!!
The gameplay basically is good but the Traditional Chinese translation is terrible. The conversion content sometimes is NOT translated. It stay with English or Simplified Chinese characters. Also, it shows a China flag to represent Traditional Chinese which makes me insulted.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the first game, and this sequel improves on it in just about every way! Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines is a platformer with fun movement, adorably stylish graphics, wonderful music, and incredibly inventive ideas all the way through. If you've played the first one and thought that it wasn't quite what you wanted, I implore you to check out this sequel. While I think they're both worth your time, whether or not you've played the first game, I highly recommend this game!
As a fan of the original Grapple Dog, I expected to really like this too and I did. A lot of the gameplay is similar or even the same, but introducing a new character adds a whole new dimension to it all and gives it the variety it would otherwise have lacked. Once again, the bonus levels are stupidly difficult and the speedruns can go to hell. But I really like these games and I'm puzzled as to why they're not more widely known and liked.
the first game to me was just okay but the addtion of luna nad her having a slightly diffrent movest and being a grumpier gun weilding really helped me. i think this one is pretty dang good
Overall loved the game, though switching between the two dogs wasn't the best. It did suck that the button to dash on one dog made you plummet with the other and that the attack buttons were different. If you're going through playing all the levels for one dog and then switching to the other's levels it's fine, but going between the two would get confusing. That being said, the game was still super fun to play; I liked the characters, art design and music.
