"Clocking in at around three to four hours to roll credits, Pepper Grinder while not the lengthiest of platforming titles thanks to its prime drilling mechanic, makes said run-time a thoroughly satisfying one. A core premise that's aided on top by a thoughtful approach to level design, not to mention a knack for continually chopping and changing the formula with one interesting new element or introduction of a neat gimmick after another. Developer Ahr Ech's ability to conjure so much from out so little a detail as how a character moves should not go unnoticed. Serviceable, bordering on unnecessary, its secondary content might feel, Pepper Grinder's ability to be just as satisfying to control, as much to work out and eventually beat, grants this particular drill-powered adventure a well-deserved identity all its own."

About
Pepper Grinder is a platformer where you control a pirate prospector named Pepper and her high-speed drill. You bash through rock, water, and machinery to fight enemies and solve environmental puzzles. The action focuses on rapid movement and combat as you chase stolen loot through varied terrain. Developed by Ahr Ech and published by Devolver Digital, the game stands out for its zany drilling mechanics and colorful world design. With support on nearly every major console and PC, it offers a compact but energetic single-player experience that leans into chaotic platforming and direct combat. Its March 2024 release positioned it as a quirky indie pick for fans of fast-paced action.
