In Ruffed Up, players take on the role of dogs tethered to a fainted human, working together to drag the owner through dangerous roads to the hospital. The demo, released August 4 on Steam, supports online and local play for up to 4 players.
Teams must avoid cars on busy streets, freight trains on railroad tracks, and complex terrain while using actions like running, jumping, dashing, pulling, and swinging. Barking is available as a way to annoy teammates. Players can also customize their dog by mixing breeds, ear shapes, tails, leashes, and hats.
The full release is planned for the near future, and wishlist registration is open on the Steam store page.
