    Picked up Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines in the current eShop sale. Liked the first game a lot and this one builds on its foundation very well! Pablo's expanded move set feels nice and while it took me a bit to get used to Luna's kit, she's just as fun to play as.^^

    In other news, I found the second, "secret" ending in Naiad! I also finished up the post-game for Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines... all that's left is to grind fruit and buy those last few cosmetics. From there, I can probably switch to Grapple Dog, because I've still got some gems to find in there.

    Many of us are hamstrung by our irrational need for sequential completionism. Easy to say, "if you bounced off Grapple Dogs no biggie, just fire up the sequel," but... to do that one "must" complete the first game or it feels like we're cheating!

    So I finally started playing Grapple Dogs 2 by @jogribbin.bsky.social and it's one hell of a fantastic game so far. The first game was already strong and this is building on it, with a new character (the "Shadow" of this game's "Sonic") with guns and everything. It's awesome.

    5. Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines if you've talked to me for a bit you might have heard me mention this game. it sounds like a joke, but it isn't. i genuinely adore this game, and it deserves so much more recognition than it currently has.

    Grapple Dogs Cosmic Canines Loved the first game for & this is a good extension of the first game with Luna's Run & gun levels. Luna does a bit of a learning curve, it's like a twin-stick shooter but as a side scroller. Power ups are cool and I like the banter between character.

    Guacamelee's and Grapple Dogs CC's gimmicks pertain to both the player character(s) and the level design, while the first Grapple Dog game's gimmicks only pertain to the levels; Pablo's moveset never changes in the first Grapple Dog game. (🧵: 4/9)

    Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines Grade: A Better than the first game in many ways for me; the gameplay gimmicks, the environments, even the writing and story are done significantly better here over the first game. Got the true ending in this one, but I'm still not really considering 100% this game.
