Our take on Killer Dog
Rather than focusing only on movement and enemy encounters, the game adds secret hunting, point-funded skill upgrades, assisting characters, and a boss battle at the close of each chapter.
What is Killer Dog?
Killer Dog is an action platformer about Hector, an ordinary dog trying to return home while rescuing his friends.
Players explore varied levels, search for secrets, and collect treasures. Combat includes encounters with simple thugs, savage creatures from Hell, and cunning aliens. Traps create hazards across the platforms, while food restores lost health. Collected points can be spent on upgrades that improve Hector’s skills. Some levels include other characters who assist during the mission. Each chapter ends with a tough boss fight that requires skill and tactical planning.
