Happy Spring! There's a new Ollie-Oop update to celebrate! I've been getting requests for a better way to track in-game progress, so I've spent a bunch of time rethinking those systems. Additionally, I've done a huge rework on the movement mechanics in general, so you should see a big improvement on how it feels to scoot around the levels, get huge air, do tricks, grinds, etc! Check it out!

• Player physics overhaul
• The main menu TV will now show a %completion on a per-level basis
• Every level has a bunch more collectibles in it to find!
• Once you get down to the last 25% of collectibles in a level, you can use your Dog Vision to help spot the remaining collectibles
• After completing all missions in a level, you'll unlock a new board style to apply skins to!
• After collecting all the collectibles in a level, you'll get a gold star popup that will show in both the pause menu and the TV screen on the main menu!

Happy July everyone! I've got some new content to share!

New Level!

I added a fun sized new level, "Extreme Skate Bark"! No missions, just kind of a fun sandboxy level to skate around on, I felt like the game probably should have a legitimate skate park level, so I put one together mostly out of stuff I already had, and some really basic geometry :)

Zoomies!

Now you can use the D-pad or mouse scroll wheel to zoom in closer/further from Ollie! This might be tweaked a little bit in the future, but I think it is a worthwhile addition, let me know what you think!

New Shoes!

I added crocs and timbs as bootie options for Ollie, and fixed some bugs related to the cosmetics where the game would soft-lock if you didn't pick anything. I also fixed some bugs with the mission system, and some progression unlockable issues! Enjoy! -Alex

Happy Summer!

This update contains many various improvements, first major update in over a year! There's lots to check out, let's shred into it!

Grinding System

The rail and grinding system has been totally overhauled, and should be much more functional now, in addition, all the levels have gotten a bunch of new rails to grind for style, or for getting around easier!

Spinnies

Along with the grind system, Ollie has learned another new trick! You can do spinnies on various Fire Hydrants, and Hydrant-shaped-items! Give it a try!

Mission Tracker

The pause menu has been updated to include a checklist of things to do, in case you get lost! Select a mission, and (when possible) you will have a nice big red arrow to show you where to go to engage with the mission!

Cosmetics Overhaul

There are now more than double the cosmetics! We've added a few hats, and fixed up some others, added a whole slew of new boards, and a whole new category of customizables, Booties! There's much more to come in this category, but there's 8 different bootie options to try out for now! Also the customization as a whole has been moved from the main menu to using a Dog House in the level to customize Ollie's outfit!

Quick-Turns

Did you miss a bone back there? Do a quick-turn to go back and get it! When you're accelerating at full speed, keep pressing forward and tap Break to do a quick U-turn!

Menu Overhaul

The main menu looks way more snazzy now, with new models and textures, cleaned up navigation, a fresh settings menu, and some other fun surprises! Thanks for reading, enjoy the update, more to come soon! -Alex

Explore the surface of Mars!

Ollie is going on his grandest adventure yet! Let's go to Mars and have an interstellar good time!

Meet our new friend, Rover

Rover is a small, friendly little pal who got distracted on their mission, and ran out of batteries! Scour the surface of the planet for some batteries to get Rover back on the hunt for delicious cheese!

Operate advanced technology

Power up the generators using Puptonium crystals! Generators power doors, lights, anti gravity zones, and more!

We're not quite sure what this big flying metal doggie bowl in the sky is, but that one is for you to find out for yourself!

Update is out NOW! 10/20/22! Hop in and scoot on, friends!

Hi Friends! It's been a few weeks now since I've released an update, and since things have cooled down after launch back in November, we've been working on a shiny new level that we're really excited about!

New Level: Pupperwave

A new level, featuring v a p o r w a v e aesthetics! Surf the checkerboard ocean, discover marble structures in the sky, or get lost in the trippy glass mirror maze, and much more in our most ambitious level yet!

Grinding

A big part of the new level was revamping the grind mechanics to be much more fun and easy to integrate into the level design, so yeah, the grinding has been totally reworked, and it's much more fun now! It's a great way to get around, especially in Pupperwave! It also ties into the other big new feature in this update...

Trick Mode!

Finally, something you Tony Barkers have been asking for! There's a new tab in the pause menu called "Extras", in there you'll find a new checkbox to enable Trick Mode! Now you can finally jump, flip, grind, and bark and be rewarded with entirely arbitrary numbers! See how big you can make that number, go go go!

Update comes out 2/28!!

Full change log:

• New Pupperwave Level!
• Updated grind mechanics introduced
• Added 2 new hats
• Added a few new board skins
• New loading screen
• Added some additional grindable surfaces to Culdesac and Doggerton

Howdy friends!

Next hotfix is here! This time I worked to make a new control remapper, and fix up a variety of bugs yall have sent my way. Here's the list!

• Added an alternate path to culdesac roof
• New controls remapper
• Replaced the little dynamites near the mineshaft with a dynamite box that respawns dynamites once they're used up.
• Fixed up the camera sensitivity slider
• Reworked the tumbleweed mission to be a bit more fun
• Hide soccer mission stuff when the mission isn't active so you can't get points outside of the mission
• Fixed an input bug that allowed Ollie to get wayyyy too much air
• Prevent spamming the remote control which caused a level to load multiple times
• potential fix for NPC interact prompt being too small

Howdy skaters!

Just a small update today, I mainly wanted to fix the race in Doggerton, which had a few bugs going on that I had to work out. I've got more updates but I wanted to get this one out before the weekend so the race is at least possible :P

Here's a list of all the changes:

• Fixed a bunch of bugs related to the doggerton race
• Changed the keyboard mapping so that up/down arrow keys are push/brake, and W/S only spin you in the air.
• Added a boost zone near the saloon so it's easier to get on top of

Next things I'm working on over the weekend are bugs with camera recentering not saving correctly, camera sensitivity issues, and some improvements for some doggerton missions. Reworking the tumbleweed corral mission to require less tumbleweeds, and shorten the timer so it's a bit less tedious. I also need to spend some time fixing up the cave part of Doggerton as well. Scoot on, friends! And thanks for playing! -Alex

• Fixed soccer shootout mission in Culdesac
• Fixed issue where some achievements weren't unlocking
• Fixed camera sensitivity slider not being hooked up to anything
• Fixed a save file issue that would cause the game to stall for some players

• Fixed horizontally inverted D-Pad UI controls
