Our take on Updog
The focus on vertical movement and raft maintenance leaves less room for broader gameplay variety. Progress is tied to continuing the ascent, while optional challenge rooms add tests of movement rather than a separate campaign structure.
What is Updog?
Climb through a cloudscape aboard a homemade raft in this quick-moving 3D platformer.
Jump, dive, grapple, and ground pound across the terrain while gathering crates to fuel the raft and balloons to balance it. The aim is to ascend as far as possible, with tougher challenges awaiting at greater heights. Rare golden doors open challenge rooms that test movement skills and offer unique rewards. Progress involves managing raft supplies and mastering the game’s advanced movement techniques as the ascent continues.
