What is Rescue: The Beagles?
Rescue: The Beagles is a retro-style arcade platformer and runner set across procedurally generated mountain stages.
Players choose Nicole or Edwin, navigate hazards with parkour moves, ropes, and parachutes, and save dogs while pursuing high scores and deeper runs. Owls can be commanded as weapons against biohazard troops, vivisectors, and laboratory executives. A skill system adds upgrades such as Beagle Magnetism and Goji Berry Digestion, while wild goji berries grant superpowers. Falling from heights can end a run.
