KOOB DOG

A fantastic platformer style unique to older games from the 90's/early 2000's. Those that played on older consoles will enjoy the nostalgic feel, sounds, and gameplay. Endless items that reference many classic (and newer) games that any seasoned gamer will recognize. With this game you can easily sit at your desk, get cozy, and get lost in the atmosphere of this world for hours. 10/10 would recommend, great passion project.

10/10 Amazing game! All the levels are creative/unique from one another, have their own collectibles, and addicting soundtracks. If you're a fan of games like Crash bandicoot or adventure based platformers in general, then this game is definitely for you and I couldn't recommend it more. It's very addicting and nostalgic especially with all the other game references in there.

- THIS REVIEW WILL BE UPDATED ONCE I'VE FINISHED THE GAME - EDIT: My opinion hasn't changed much after finishing the main game content: it's pretty cool, and some of these treasures are super fun to collect. The swords in particular were a big highlight imo. I also have some frustrations: some levels could benefit from a couple more checkpoints, having the intro replay every single time you're trying to speedrun a level is very annoying, some of the content borders a bit too much on frustrating instead of challenging, and there's a lack of game settings that's a bit of a bummer. However, the game is actively being updated so I think it's a question of time before some of the creases get ironed out! I haven't finished playing it through and am about halfway through, but what a cool little platformer! It's structured in four worlds with three levels each, and a level will always have at least a couple of hidden collectables to find. Some are simple, asking to explore a bit off the beaten path, while others whole quests dedicated to them and feel great to find. Gameplay is on the simple side with you running and jumping most of the time. You may pick up some items with different effects, but they're often inconsequential and the main meat of [b]KOOB DOG[/b] will be platforming and exploring semi-open levels. While just running through the twelve levels can take a couple of hours, there's a bit more to go through for the 100% as mentioned previously, including hidden stuff I wouldn't dare to spoil! I absolutely recommend giving the game a try if you're even remotely interested in retro 3D platformers, since 10€ isn't too much of an asking price and two hours will be enough to decide whether you're into it or not. Plus, the dev is very helpful on the forums and has prepared a Q&A section for tips if you need some!

At first the game may look straight forward, but there is a lot of depth to it. Behind every corner there can be a treasure or other collectible hiding. It keeps you on your toes (or paws) on top of dealing with the parkour. You may think the colourful imagery and funky tunes are hear as a nice treat, but if you think this game is easy, you are dead wrong. To become the ultimate 100% completionist, you have to give it your all! And excellent combination of fun, difficulty and every now and then a pee!

Played in offline mode on Steam for a bit, which is why the game time appears so low. I completed the game in about 2 hours, although I still have plenty of stuff to do for the 100%. Very fun game. A good throwback to 3D platformers of the past that manages to feel reminiscent in a good way without feeling quite as out-dated as those games tend to feel now. It controls super smooth and is a ton of fun with plenty of enjoyable references thrown in. And you can pee.

As a Playstation 1 kid growing up, this game is awesome. honestly.

This game feels like a heartfelt tribute to classic platformers from the golden age of gaming, capturing enough charm and nostalgia from the 90s and early 2000s to keep you hooked. While some of the platforming feels rough around the edges—certain sections seem hastily put together and lack polish—the creativity and effort behind the design shine through, making it easy to forgive those moments. What truly stands out is the atmosphere. The sound design, vibrant visuals, and overall vibe create an immersive experience that's easy to lose yourself in, even if the journey isn’t perfectly smooth. At its core, this is a passion project, full of love and dedication. Rough around the edges but undeniably charming, it’s a game that stands out and is well worth a shot for fans of platformers or nostalgic gaming.

11/10 Game – Pure Nostalgic Fun! Koob Dog is a fantastic indie gem that completely hooked me. It’s packed with nostalgic charm, incredibly addictive gameplay, and time trials that strike the perfect balance of challenge without becoming too frustrating. You can tell a lot of love went into this game—from the catchy tunes (though they do get a bit repetitive and could use a volume slider) to the smart level design and awesome relics you collect, especially the swords inspired by classic franchises. That detail alone made me grin like a kid again. Nothing felt too cryptic or overwhelming, and for the first time in ages, maybe even ever, I actually 100%'d a game—and even unlocked all the achievements!. Sure, even though the hitboxes can feel a bit unforgiving at times, and our boy Koob is so aquaphobic if one paw slightly brushes against a puddle he meets his maker, it all adds some unintentional comedy, but once you get used to it, it just becomes part of the charm. There’s a lot of content here too. I can genuinely see this game blowing up with the right exposure. It would be a blast to see streamers doing tournaments or speedrun challenges with it. I really hope the dev is proud of this one—it’s something special and deserves way more attention than it’s getting. Huge thanks to the dev for reaching out on my YouTube videos and for creating such a brilliant experience. I’m seriously excited to see what you do next. Koob Dog might just have earned a spot on my list of favorite indie games ever. Also for anyone who is trying to pause the game its actually the "ENTER" key lol! Cheers to all and happy Koobing!
