Do you like platformers? Do you like cute dogs? Why not both? Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines is coming to Steam later this year, with the Grappling hook-loving Pablo making a return, and he’s joined by his new gun-wielding friend Luna. What's more, we can play the demo during the upcoming Steam Next Fest. Developed by Medallion Games, this looks like a fun title for the Steam Deck.

Grapple Dogs Steam Next Fest Demo

The first Grapple Dog game performed well on Steam, and Cosmic Canines expands upon the original a fair bit. The idea of running around 2D space worlds as a selection of pups is my idea of a fun night, and the demo will have four levels to play:

  • Into the Swing (Pablo)
  • Above and Beyond (Luna)
  • Monkey Business (Pablo)
  • Savage Sands (Luna)

While players can use the traditional mouse and keyboard setup in the demo, the developers recommend using a controller for the best experience, which is good news for your Steam Deck!

Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines is coming to Steam on August 15th.
