Grapple Dog Nintendo Switch Review - I Dream of Indie

[@IDreamofIndie]

We were informed that the performance issues in the Switch version should be patched out in time for release tomorrow! So will you be picking up Grapple Dog? Thanks for watching!

[@ShippSheroo]

Just got the game on Switch. I can say it has not been patched. I've died many times because of mid-air stutters, not sure I want to keep playing. Was really loving the game too

[@FlowerAngelRave]

This is looking like it has a lot of promise, despite the jump being a bit floaty. I especially like the vibrant cute visuals that the devs went for, and it seems to be a good start for Super Rare's publishing. But I think I'll wait to pick it up just to give those issues like the frame hitches and the glitching to be ironed out, if they do. But this was another great review all the same.

[@IDreamofIndie]

This one wasn't so bad just a little ruff around the edges!

[@BetterThanDoomWithAZ]

I have a physical copy on Switch and the performance issues are still present. I mostly played without the accessibility features and powered through the stuttering that made me miss grapples, but in the last world I collected all 7 gems on a level and the game didn't register them. That's when I got frustrated and just turned them on so I could finish the game quickly before I moved out of my apartment. It's a shame because it's such a charming little platformer.

The music for each world should be longer, and the boss levels should be a remix version.

This def reminds me of another grappling game. Can’t remember the name. This looks really fun! I might pick this up! Great review!

Speedrunners perhaps?

[@adriannaamato9833]

@@Maxiow No, it had a strange name tbh. You are a girl with a grapple hook that you use to go up or down platforms. You can also use it to attack enemies or grab food? I found the mechanics to be hard so I didn’t get very far.

Reminds me a bit of Flinthook

[@MEDUSAvsSHOE]

@@adriannaamato9833 perhaps Super Little Acorns 3D?

[@pearspeedruns]

I’d be curious to see what speedrunners can do with that infinite jump option….

[@RawPower867]

My only gripe with this game is its controls. They're really loose, especially in mid-air. Messed up quite a few jumps.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Yeah agreed, it's just a bit off at times!

[@drifter4training]

There's a pc demo of the game on Steam to try it out..

[@IDreamofIndie]

There ya go! Give it a shot for yourself

[@skeptism27]

Another great review!

[@-BarathKumarS]

Reminds me of nitrome games.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Right on, that is a cool comparison!

[@1169218923]

It’s nicely put together this game, but the mid air jump is awful, also I have found that when you play through, at some point the game will freeze for a second and continue which can be very off putting if you are in mid air.

[@segagirladventurespico]

[@c0uchsl0uch]

Is this game a challenge? Or it's too easy and boring? I don't mind a 3/5 for a challenge

[@IDreamofIndie]

A fair challenge not super easy!

[@xentric313]

You talk about sound effects but don't let us listen to them... 😢

[@IDreamofIndie]

You can hear gameplay clips at both the start and end!

[@Frshmachine]

this looks like a phone game >.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Thank you for watching!

[@skydiamsteam6005]

Not that it’s a bad thing

[@NuiYabuko]

What is that even supposed to mean? Especially these days when games like Fantasian release for mobile.
