Pepper Grinder

[b]drill it[/b] [hr][/hr] 4/4

[h1]Here's what you do:[/h1] You have a big drill that lets you move through certain substances like dirt, sand, and water. You can also jump, and later be able to grapple certain objects with a hook-shot that allows you to swing around to change your direction. There are occasionally machines which you operate by placing your drill in them, such as a machine gun and a snowmobile. I have no idea what the story is and there is little to no dialog in the game, which is fine I guess. [h1]What I like:[/h1] + Each level has five hidden coins to find. These are often in telegraphed secret areas just off-screen. I like finding secrets and collectables. + The coins are used to purchase cosmetics for your character, changing the color of your hair or cape. + Gems are found as you dig around and defeat enemies. These gems are put into a 'gotcha' like machine where you get a random sticker. Each world has its own set of stickers to collect. + The stickers can be used in a mode where you choose a back drop and place as many stickers as you have to make your own pictures. + Each stage has an optional speed run time challenge, with bronze, silver and gold times to beat after you've beaten a level once normally. [h1]What I don't like:[/h1] - The problem with the speed runs is that there are stickers tied to getting gold in each level. I'm not a fan of speed running. I like to take my time to collect things, and I don't like how stickers are trapped behind time trial rewards. - The game is only four worlds long, which took me about four hours to beat. I suppose the time trials are there for extended play time, but I would prefer a greater variety of environments and a interactions. [h1]Conclusion:[/h1] It was fun. It is a fair length even if I wish it was longer. There is a good ramp up in challenge.

feels good to play but lacks focus or content too short to easy, worthless coins

i liked pepper grinder on the whole. great presentation and a fun set of core mechanics explored over its brief runtime. i missed many secrets, im sure, but i enjoyed the level design and ways the game evolved its main focus. my one big complaint is the boss fights. i found them overly frustrating and weirdly punishing. one mistake would frequently lead to me losing 3/4 of my health, and that never feels good. your mileage may vary on the bosses, however. ultimately i am glad to have played it and would recommend it to others

Um jogo extremamente divertido quando se trata das fases em si, mas peca demais nos chefes que são bem frustrantes. O modo "sob pressão" é apenas para quem tem muita paciência e é viciado em plataforma de precisão, pq o timer é bem injusto e pune qualquer errinho (o que nesse jogo é meio "escolha de gosto duvidosa" por parte dos devs pq dependendo do ângulo que tu sai do terreno, sai catapultado pra direção errada ou fazendo uma parábola que toma tempo demais. No mais o jogo é excelente se focar apenas nas fases (sem o modo extra), pois são muito criativas e bem trabalhadas, coletar as moedas grandes escondidas é bem divertido e trás mais dinamismo num todo também. 7,5/10

:)

idk, kind of weak i guess but is short enough not to overstay its welcome , just have an adecuate level of expectatives about what you may find
