Critic reviews
- 6.5Double Pug Switch is a challenging side scrolling platformer that requires good hand eye coordination for some quick responses. Although, very similar to The Impossible Game, the game does have a unique twist of adding the dimensional switching power as well as power ups and timed distance jumping. It also added its very own unique story, however comical it may be. I believe this game is a fun side scroller and shouldn’t be missed if you’re a fan of the genre.
- Don’t be deceived by Double Pug Switch’s cute appearance and relatively short length. There is plenty of fun to be had with this runner game. The dependence on memorization and the difficulty do require a focused mindset, but if you’re in the right mood, then the game is very satisfying to play. Add to this, that the game is on the cheaper side of the spectrum and that there isn’t a lot of choices when it comes to runners on the Switch and you’re looking at a decent addition to your library.
- 6.0Double Pug Switch might be frustrating at times but there’s still an enjoyable experience here. Bringing us fun but basic gameplay, it introduces one of gaming’s more adorable protagonists in a light-hearted adventure, though it won’t offer platforming fans anything particularly ground-breaking. With its lower price point, there isn’t much risk here if you're a fan of runners and, as such, it comes with a cautious recommendation.
- 6.0It’s nicely presented, too; the short animated story scenes telling the tale of Otis, Whiskers and the scientist, are a welcome touch. As are the purely cosmetic hats you can place on Otis’ little puggy head. It’s short and utterly brutish in its difficulty, but if you like equal amounts of cuteness and cruelty in your games, then look no further. Especially considering its pocket-money price.
- 5.0Double Pug Switch passes that line and can barely see it in the distance. The dimension jumping mechanic is a fun one but it feels like it has been squandered in a game too fiendish for its own good. The basic art style and enjoyable soundtrack, while cute and inviting, aren’t enough of a incentive to push through the mountainous difficulty spikes this game contains.
