Grapple Dog coming to Switch eShop + Steam on Feb 10th!

I’ve been following Joseph Gribbin (@JoGribbin) on Twitter for a while now, eagerly watching the progress on Grapple Dog - and feeling sad that without a working PC/laptop to play it on Steam, I’d probably have to wait an unknown amount of time for a console release (if any). So needless to say, I was super excited when Super Rare Games revealed that not only were they to be publishing the game, it would also be getting a same day launch on Nintendo Switch on February 10th 2022!

This is the first of the Super Rare Originals titles to be released, and whilst it is currently only a digital title (and I hope they do a physical copy at some point too), it’s definitely one I can’t wait for!

Jump, swing, and zip your way through colourful worlds and exciting challenges in Grapple Dog, a unique 2D action-platformer with a dog! And a grappling hook!

🐶 Exhilarating action – Jumping! Swinging! Collecting gems! Dogs! Grapples! Driving a little boat around! And most exciting of all, dog petting!

🐕 6 colourful worlds – Sail across the map to explore 6 worlds, featuring 33 levels filled with hidden collectibles to find, secret areas to investigate, spectacular boss battles to overcome, and bonus levels to master.

🐕‍🦺 Go, go, Grapple Dog! – A lighthearted adventure with tons of fun characters, you play as Pablo, the Grapple Dog! Sail with your merry band of fearless adventurers on your quest to stop the robotic overlord Nul from destroying the world.

🐩 Play your way – Hone your grapple skills with optional collectibles and a testing speedrun Time Trial mode, or utilise the many in-built accessibility options to play without restrictions – have fun however you see fit.

✨ Bold & funky – A bold, colourful art style from a pixel art veteran makes Grapple Dog pop from start to finish, with a funky fresh soundtrack that’s sure to stick in your head, and buttery smooth 60fps gameplay.

👩‍💻 About the developer - Grapple Dog has been developed almost single-handedly by experienced game designer + pixel artist Joseph Gribbin over the course of several years, with music by Jazz Mickle and sound design by Damion Sheppard.
