Pepper Grinder

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.
