Double Jump mode can also be used for another speedrun category as best times are stored separately!

GBJAM Disclaimer
Updog was made for GBJAM8 in TIC-80, a fantasy console. The resolution and palette of the TIC-80 operating system cannot be modified to suit the rules of the jam. However, the game itself does follow all the rules. Pressing Escape will bring up the TIC-80's built in menu - this should also not be considered part of the entry as it cannot be modified.
Known issues
- Boz can sometimes teleport through chickens when pushing against them
- The ball can sometimes be teleported away when jammed into a corner by a chicken
