Time trials.......... I hate games with them and even more so with achievements with them. Why make a nice fun platformer and stuff it with sweaty time trial completionist BS?

Don't buy unless you want a sweaty time trial experience wrapped in a nice "accessible" platformer.

I grew up with a Sega Genesis instead of a Nintendo NES, so I've always had fond memories of the classic sonic games. After playing for a few hours I can definitively say that the game is inspired by the 2D sonic games, but in my opinion surpasses them in every category. After the third level I played (and then replayed for the time trials) I was hooked and knew I was going to try and 100% the game. When you look at global steam achievements, the 100% completion achievement has been accomplished by 12% of players which is astounding. If you're a fan of retro sonic, or just platformers in general, I can't recommend this game enough.

Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines is a great platformer that combines very fun mechanics with generous game design. The guns, grapples and environmental elements all made for a fun variety of gameplay that kept the fun rolling throughout.
