Our take on Deputy Dangle
The defining mechanic is controlling a boneless deputy whose movement combines flopping, flailing, climbing, grappling, swinging, and flying.
What is Deputy Dangle?
Deputy Dangle follows a newly appointed deputy whose celebration is interrupted by GMA, a notorious criminal in Dangleton.
The player pursues GMA with a partner named Chongo while navigating as a boneless character. Movement combines climbing, flopping, grappling, flailing, swinging, and flying. A multi-purpose plunger gun supports traversal through the town and its varied environments, including a sewer and areas in the sky. The game also includes a plot about GMA, four trials focused on acrobatic movement, and high-score competition. Players can develop different ways to move, from fast cartwheeling to airborne movement. A controller is strongly recommended, with support listed for Steam Controller, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Logitech F310, Logitech F710, or equivalent devices.
