Grapple Dog

Version 5.0.0 on cart.

Suffers from occasional frame drops/micro stutters, which can become a pain with the rather difficult platforming in the latter half of the game and especially when speedrunning for each level's time trial.
Observed one situation where the character ran into a portal and triggered the running animation right before the loading screen. In that brief moment the sprite for the animation was displayed in front of the wall the character had already dissappeared behind.
On one of the final levels, when I died, the prior collected fruits wouldn’t re appear. In order to truly complete a level, you have to find 250 fruits within it. In this case, we ended up with less than 170 fruits because the others refused to re appear. So we had to restart the entire level again.

The game can still be enjoyed from start to finish, but bugs can be a temporary roadblock to 100 %.
