Developed by Ahr Ech, which is a super-cute studio name, Pepper Grinder is a composite platformer that pulls ideas and moments from countless platformers from over the years, repackages them into a fun and decidedly punk rock presentation and ties much of it to digging. Oh, and presented with an aesthetic every 30 to 40-something gamer will shed a tear for.
Shipwrecked and robbed of her treasure by nefarious Narlings, Pepper - a seafaring soul with a passion for prospecting - must spin up her trusty sidearm to reclaim what the mischievous minions stole. Armed with Grinder, Pepper burrows through terrain & water, controls machines, and pulverises all enemies blocking the way towards recovering her missing fortune - with interest!
Pepper's progress will not be that simple, however, as mysterious beings begin to emerge from the shadows...
Gritty Gameplay Cruise through a colourfully animated world with precise movements, fluid drilling, and thrilling leaps.
Thrilling Drilling Chew through the world with Grinder and find new drill bits to ramp up the chaos and solve clever puzzles.
Conquer & Collect Pick up jewels and other riches during your adventure and cash them in at shops to power up Pepper, open up new paths on the world map, and snag collectible stickers for your sticker book.
Sometimes it's okay to be a bit selfish and assume a game was made solely for you.
Pepper Grinder will release on PC and Nintendo Switch sometime in 2023. Stay tuned for more as it's sprinkled our way.
