Cat Quest 3 is a light but charming pirate adventure that'll make you feel like a kid again.
Pepper Grinder is highly enjoyable, but a touch too short. It's a very unique platformer that manages to stand out in a very crowded genre, even if it fumbles during the final levels a little bit.
Pepper Grinder isn't an indie that's going to shake up the industry; it's more of a cute little game that shows us that there's a lot of ground to be rediscovered in the genre. Its core mechanics are incredibly fun, so it's a shame that in the end you're left with the feeling that it could have been more.

thank you for taking a wonder game idea and making it terrible by adding horrific level design that requires pinpoint accuracy yet giving the player a drill machine with zero accuracy. then throw in relentless boss fights that have 100% accuracy with no heals or any kind of help, so you have to repeatedly try to fight these bosses over and over again.

Fun enough as a very small, gimmicky platformer. The levels are quick and fun and the boss fights are unique, especially the last boss. I wish there more here, overall, in terms of content. The hunt for coins for cosmetics was not really doing it for me. Played fully on steam deck with no issues.

Short but sweet, swim through dirt and and beat up narwhals with legs. I cannot stress how good this game feels.

The platformer offers varied levels with funny ideas, an ingenious mechanic for locomotion that lets you explore the genre with a fresh pinch of cleverness and a really pretty pixel art design that convinces even pixel-skeptical folks like me.

Five hours of fun, frantic platforming that’s unwieldy and all the better for it.

Overall, Pepper Grinder is a very good game. Some stages have unique gimmicks that blend well with the base move set, others just challenge players with the basics. I like Pepper, she has a lot of character for a silent protagonist and the soundtrack is quite good too. There’s a lot to like with Pepper Grinder, I just really wish the boss battles were better or absent because they weigh down the rest of the experience.

It's like watching penguins in an Attenborough documentary turning from ungainly waddlers into torpedoes. [Issue#397, p.114]
