Swing, jump, and blast through dimensions in the follow-up to the critically-acclaimed 2D action-platformer Grapple Dog. Zip between action-packed worlds as Pablo and Luna team up to save the cosmos in their own unique ways.
Players use the protagonist's grappling hook to swing between platforms, navigate obstacles, and reach new areas. The grappling hook mechanics are intuitive yet deep, allowing for a variety of different trajectories and techniques depending on the player's timing and release. This core grappling hook movement forms the foundation for the game's challenging platforming sequences.
In addition to the grappling hook, the game introduces new abilities and gadgets that expand the platforming toolkit. These include magnetic panels that allow players to run across walls and fire-dashing maneuvers. Mastering these new mechanics adds variety and complexity to the platforming, creating a sense of progression as players unlock and experiment with new traversal options.
The sequel introduces a second playable protagonist, Luna, who plays quite differently from the original protagonist, Pablo. Luna brings a gun-based shooter element to the platforming, challenging players to adapt their strategies between the two characters' unique movement and combat abilities. This dual protagonist design adds a refreshing twist to the gameplay.
The levels feature a wide variety of visual themes and platforming challenges. Players will encounter straightforward point-to-point tests as well as more complex, open-ended levels filled with hidden collectibles and secret areas to discover. This diverse level design keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging throughout the experience.
The game includes a robust set of accessibility options, allowing players to customize the difficulty to their preferences. Options include an infinite jump mode and disabling damage from enemies. These options ensure the core platforming challenge can be adjusted to cater to players of various skill levels.
In addition to the main campaign, the game offers a set of time trial challenges. Players can compete to achieve gold medal times on each level, testing their mastery of the platforming mechanics and competing against global leaderboards. This speedrunning-focused content caters to players who enjoy pushing their skills to the limit.
