In January 2022, the physical game publisher Super Rare Games announced that they would be spinning up their own digital publisher, "Super Rare Originals", with five upcoming games to announce.
In February 2022, their first game, Grapple Dog, will release on the Nintendo Switch eShop and Steam.
Grapple Dog is an appealingly colourful action-platformer in which you, the titular grapple dog, can traverse the world with the use of your handy grappling hook. There are 6 worlds to explore, split into 33 levels, filled with secrets, bosses, and bonus levels. There's also a time trial mode, if you fancy yourself good at grappling hooks.
The game's Super Mario-meets-Jet Set Radio-meets-Splatoon vibes are achieved with music from Jazz Mickle (Hypnospace Outlaw, Bravery Network Online), sound design by Damion Sheppard (Yes, Your Grace), and the rest done by game designer and pixel artist Joseph Gribbin (Spike City, Magnibox).
Grapple Dog comes out on the Nintendo eShop on February 10th for $14.99.

This looks wonderful! I'll wait for reviews though.
This is extremely specific, but this looks like a Nitrome game from the early 2000s.
Hahaha, it looks fun. Has a charming feel to it, akin to Nintendo. Hope it delivers 😊
Looks great, I'll definitely pick up the inevitable physical copy.
Ok, I'm pleasantly surprised by this. Looks good! (Will wait for a review ofc.) Bionic Commandog haha.
I've been following the development of Grapple Dog for a while now and I'm really excited to learn it's coming to Switch! It looks so fluid and colorful.
Meh, there are thousands of similar games already
Looks pretty cool. Artstyle reminds me of a game called Genki blocks (gbc or gba?) and a bit Donkey kong king of swing.
I follow the Grapple Dog Dev already a long time on twitter and I'm super hyped about the game. Everything looks so juicy
Really like the look of this! Watching the video I was expecting the Nitrome logo at the end tbh (which I consider a compliment)
Looks rather bland, seen it all before. That and I don't care much for playing as a dog that looks straight out of a Nick Jr show.
played the demo on steam its a really good time, will definitely pick this up even if i can't go physical @screen actually the dev did work on a few nitrome games lol
