$3000 Speedrun Contest + Global Speedrun Authority stream starts TODAY πŸ†

We're celebrating the launch of Grapple Dog this weekend in style!

Grapple Dog is perfect for however you play platformers - whether casually, as a completionist, etc - but we've loved seeing the speedrunning community take to it and we really wanted to give something back to a group of people whose work and content we've loved watching for years! πŸ’›

That's why we've got a speedrun competition available for all to try, with a $3000 prize pool up for grabs! It's as easy as finishing World 1 faster than anyone else before the end of February and submitting your run to Speedrun.com... do you have what it takes?

For full rules, T&Cs, submission details, and prize positions, just go here: bit.ly/GrappleDogComp πŸ†

To kick things off, our friends at Global Speedrun Authority will be hosting their own, separate tournament over the weekend - with runners including EZScape, TheMexicanRunner, LilKirbs, iPK, Hendrizz, JJsrl, and Oshikorosu!

You can catch this hotly-contested commentated event on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th from 1pm ET/6pm GMT: twitch.tv/speedrun πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

We're sooooo excited to announce that we're the brand new 'indie-first' publishing label behind Grapple Dog!

Joseph Gribbin and his team have created something so fun, colourful, and just utterly brilliant, that from the moment we set eyes on Grapple Dog, we knew it was a perfect fit.

We'll also be bringing The Gecko Gods, Lone Ruin, Completely Stretchy, and POST VOID to consoles + Steam - so keep your eyes peeled! πŸ‘€
