But it’s clear from player just a little bit that keeping your character’s momentum through movement is the most pivotal, and most enjoyable, part of the game. The game does involve various level puzzle like hitting switches to open doors, and has many precision elements to it like getting accurate jumps on enemies or baiting platforms to fall down so you can ride them up. If I had to describe Grapple Dog, I would call it a momentum-based platformer. Some are precision-based platformers while others are action or puzzle based. There are lots of types of platformers out there, series like Mario, Kirby and Sonic all play very differently from each other. ![]() What more could I ask for?
