All Dog Man Video Game Characters Confirmed
Play As Your Favorite Iconic Characters From The Dog Man Books
The trailer confirmed a handful of iconic characters from the beloved children’s books. This includes the Supa Buddies, made up of Li’l Petey as the Cat Kid, 80-HD as the Lightning Dude, and of course, the titular Dog Man himself in his Supa Buddy form, The Bark Knight. Characters will traverse obstacles differently depending on which special skills and abilities are needed, and will use Supa Gadgets ranging from grappling hooks to fancy pants to boots that let players double jump. The gameplay will center around the concept of teamwork, and players will need to use the characters’ abilities and gadgets in clever ways.
Each of the three characters has a few confirmed abilities. Li’l Petey might seem like your average nimble and sassy cat, but he also has the ability to hack gadgets and fit into very small places. Use 80-HD to push heavy objects or jump across long distances, or equip him with the grappling hook gadget to swing from one platform to the next. And then there is Dog Man, whose supa powers include digging deep and fast underground and gliding through the air to cross to faraway platforms.

Other familiar enemies from the books are there as well, such as the elusive robot cheesesteak sandwich, Supa-Mecha Philly, who appeared in the fourth book in the series, Dog Man and Cat Kid.
