Adventures of Pip

Adventures of Pip is a 2D-platformer that harkens back to classic 90’s video games and literally incorporates the nature of sprite work into its design. Pip begins as a 1-bit character and gains abilities to evolve into 8-bit and 16-bit versions. Each of these forms possess unique abilities and much of the level design is built around evolving and devolving to overcome obstacles. Optional upgrades are purchasable at the town and help make the adventure easier. The game itself is satisfying to play and the presentation of the world, music, and story are good but don’t necessarily excel. One of the greater perks is that the game is short and easy to 100% complete, even on a first playthrough. As for cons, platforming can feel “janky” on occasion, but with checkpoints and unlimited lives this doesn’t pose a huge detriment. The primary criticism I have is that the evolution/devolution of sprites is limited to Pip during gameplay. I do think this concept has great potential, but limiting this to the main character feels unambitious. Nonetheless I enjoyed my time with Adventures of Pip and I encourage people to give this bite-sized platformer a play! Review Score: 7/10 For a more detailed review: https://www.metacritic.com/user/BornABrawler/

A charming little game unlike anything I have played before. You play as Pip a single low res pixel with the special power to transform into med res and high res. Off to save the princess from the evil queen that wants to turn everyone into low res. Short and sweet. This won’t take long to 100%. It’s nice to play a simple unique indie game that isn’t a copy paste Metroidvania. I love Metroidvania but every 2D platformer doesn’t need to be one. It’s nice to have a level based game. It feels so rare. The music is pretty good and memorable. The bosses aren’t too hard but sometimes it takes a minute to figure out the weakness. You have to use the res changing to make an opening and deal a hit. I really wish there was a second game. The same thing but a lot bigger.

Loved this game! The 4th wall breaks were never insufferable and I thought the plot was simple but cute. The mechanics were fun and the gameplay was challenging but not hair-rippingly difficult.

I recommend a controller -good music -good enemys -metroidvania

I've tried to play this at multiple points and always find myself feeling numb in the head after a few levels. It's simply BORING. An uninteresting world with poor levels and a bland art style. There are hundreds of better platformers out there, especially retro ones.

I beat a world and a half before stopping, it's boring. The levels aren't challenging or interesting, and they also look samey and boring, the main evolving/devolving gimmick sounds interesting but it gets old quick, devolving freezes the screen a few seconds so you can "confirm" you want to do it so you don't mess up while plataforming but the constant mini freezes annoyed me a lot. It's a competent game, there's nothing really wrong with it, i just think it's boring. It might be a good game for more casual plataformer fans but for veterans i don't think it's worth it.

Bem, jogo é divertido, tem boa trilha sonora, boas mecanicas, boa jogabilidade, etc. Mas nada disso se compara aos gráficos dele, que provavelmente são os mais reais que eu já vi. Digo isso porque a história do jogo se passa em um mundo feito de pixels, e é precisamente isso que o jogo mostra, um mundo feito em pixel art.
