- THIS REVIEW WILL BE UPDATED ONCE I'VE FINISHED THE GAME -

EDIT: My opinion hasn't changed much after finishing the main game content: it's pretty cool, and some of these treasures are super fun to collect. The swords in particular were a big highlight imo. I also have some frustrations: some levels could benefit from a couple more checkpoints, having the intro replay every single time you're trying to speedrun a level is very annoying, some of the content borders a bit too much on frustrating instead of challenging, and there's a lack of game settings that's a bit of a bummer.
However, the game is actively being updated so I think it's a question of time before some of the creases get ironed out!

I haven't finished playing it through and am about halfway through, but what a cool little platformer! It's structured in four worlds with three levels each, and a level will always have at least a couple of hidden collectables to find. Some are simple, asking to explore a bit off the beaten path, while others whole quests dedicated to them and feel great to find.

Gameplay is on the simple side with you running and jumping most of the time. You may pick up some items with different effects, but they're often inconsequential and the main meat of KOOB DOG will be platforming and exploring semi-open levels. While just running through the twelve levels can take a couple of hours, there's a bit more to go through for the 100% as mentioned previously, including hidden stuff I wouldn't dare to spoil!

I absolutely recommend giving the game a try if you're even remotely interested in retro 3D platformers, since 10€ isn't too much of an asking price and two hours will be enough to decide whether you're into it or not. Plus, the dev is very helpful on the forums and has prepared a Q&A section for tips if you need some!
