    Pepper Grinder es uno de esos títulos que recoge píldoras de los grandes clásicos de las plataformas para ofrecer una aventura frenética y variada; y a pesar de que pueda resultar original y sorprendente en un primer momento, rápidamente detectamos mecánicas vistas en muchas otras propuestas cortadas por el mismo patrón. Si bien el juego es divertido y ameno -incluso desafiante en ciertos momentos-, no ofrece toda la precisión y naturalidad que nos gustaría entre el salto de su mecánica básica y el desplazamiento, por así decirlo, estándar del género. Y a pesar de su corta duración, ofrece suficientes motivos para seguir explorando y rejugando niveles, ya sea para lograr mejores tiempos o descubrir todos sus secretos, que no son pocos. Un conjunto de buenas ideas que piden a gritos algo más de cohesión para lograr un plataformas de corte clásico plenamente satisfactorio y recomendable.

    Pepper Grinder successfully combines traditional platforming with a refreshingly original gameplay mechanic that breathes new life into a very tired genre.

    Pepper Grinder is a short but near-flawless 2D platformer that’s a thrill ride from start to finish. From the sparkling pixel art visuals to its ingenious drilling gameplay, the game is a must-play for any platforming fan.

    Pepper Grinder is a great game, I just deeply hated the experience of playing it on Xbox. On PC, it felt great. I’ve heard very good things about it on Switch. Your experience might vary, you might like the extra grinding frustration of the Xbox experience. Whether you play it or not, though, you should seek out the soundtrack and listen to it, and then look at all of the art, because it is an experience to be savoured.

    Pepper Grinder is short, fun, and nails what it’s going for. It’s fun solo but if you can convince a few curious friends the leaderboard system could give you way more than four hours of a good time.

    Though the in-game shop feels poorly realised and it sometimes veers away from what it does best, Pepper Grinder nonetheless remains a resolutely well made, roundly attractive and frantically satisfying platformer that basically turns you into a terrifyingly militant dolphin obsessed with high speed loot and murder. And, well, who has never wanted to be one of those before?
