Adventures of Pip

About

Adventures of Pip casts you as a single-pixel warrior in a colorful 32-bit realm. The twist is you can absorb defeated foes to transform into three distinct forms each with separate abilities. Switch between these on the fly to solve platforming puzzles and battle through five themed worlds. The 10-hour story follows your quest to stop the Skeleton Queen blending straightforward action with clever level design. The game leans on a retro aesthetic paired with modern controls. Jake Kaufman’s chiptune soundtrack adds polish his work on Shantae and Shovel Knight speaks for itself. Released in 2015 it sits on a mix of consoles and PC including Switch and iOS. While not a technical marvel it earned a cult following for its catchy tunes and creative core mechanic. A quick pick for fans of pixel platformers with a twist.
