It was announced on May 6, 2013, and released in September 2014 for Microsoft Windows. It is the fourth major title in The Sims series. Others may find it worth grooving out to, but it’s not really for me.The Sims 4 is a 2014 social simulation game developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. Merely a few hours removed from playing the game, I can’t immediately recall how any specific tune goes, so that doesn’t speak much to my fondness for it. If I could describe it through comparisons, it reminded me of a slightly toned-down Splatoon. While funky and energetic, it does get a tad repetitive after a while. Grapple Dog, within this demo build, only has a few notable tracks to listen to as one progresses through a stage. All of this accumulates into a stimulating array of visual shenanigans that only better enhance the immersive aspect.Īuditorily, I’m not quite as keen on. Lots of action comic-like whooshes and strokes come upon the screen with various actions, like swinging or ground-pounds.
Small details in animation are noticeable and charming, like Pablo wincing as he hits his head on ceilings, or the big cloud of dust that gathers as the remains of a robo-baddie fly off in every direction. The three stages on display are within their own unique setting that makes me immensely curious to see just how far the setting type will wander. All these different color denotations allow for easy understanding of what is and isn’t accessible at a given moment, on top of being really pretty. Anything blue is basically a grapple point. Others are red and have many arrows-they will bounce you higher. Some platforms are orange with an arrow on it-they will bounce you.
Vivid yellows and blues and oranges and reds most of which signify some sort of untold mechanic. I just wanted to note how impressive that is.Īnyway, the game is a bouncy, colorful display of magnificence that is perfectly concocted for the overall vibe of the adventure. He may have brought in some other people to assist with things, but the developer name on Steam is simply “Joseph Gribbin,” so I’m inclined to believe that he’s doing pretty much everything. It’s mostly gameplay and getting a sneak peek at the worlds on display.įrom what I’m aware, Grapple Dog is mostly being worked on by one person. Pretty straightforward for a platformer, and not much is really established over the course of the demo. From what I could gather, Nul coerces you into helping it retain some semblance of power, to which they then use to try and conquer the world.
Pablo and Nul are introduced, and I believe there was one other person you could speak with, but nothing substantial. In this specific state, there’s not too much to hold onto from a “Story” position. I initially thought the game was broken, only to realize it was probably intentional. (Could you tell by the game’s name?) Quite soon after, the screen flashes to white, and then you’re on a boat, able to move around and choose between three stages outright. As the game takes you through the controls and features, you eventually come across the grappling hook, one of the main features of the game. Pablo, the dog, falls into some darkened chasm and meets with an unassuming robot named Nul. A basic tutorial is shown upon starting it up, but is presumably placed in the middle of an intro sequence. While I can’t say I’m experienced with playing demos, Grapple Dog‘s does something a little different. 3) Graphics & Audio – I Dig This Dog Story – Flimsy Flashbacks(?)
