It’s not a super long game, but the co-op does help lengthen how long you’re going to keep coming back. For instance, at one point the frame rate began to stutter for seemingly no reason. I’ve had a ton of fun with it, and only had a few minor issues. It’s 11 levels full of the same kinds of puzzles you get in the main game, and I had loads of fun playing them with my kids.Īt just over a tenner, Pikuniku is a fantastic game. If playing on the Switch, there is also one small section that allows you to use the touch screen.Īs well as exploring the world (made up of a handful of levels which you can freely move between), and solving puzzles, there is a co-op mode. You can also swing on hooks placed around the world, and zoom along zip wires. The shoulder buttons let you switch your mask and use certain items, if you have them.
Pikuniku’s controls are very simple, with a button to curl into a ball (to move faster or through tight spaces), one to jump and one to kick/use certain things. So don’t give me any of that “I don’t like crazy Japanese games” rubbish. Spoilers: there's a difficult rhythm mini-gameĪlthough it is styled like a crazy Japanese game (it does have a Locoroco-esque charm), Pikuniku was actually made by Europeans. Once they’ve taken simple rubbish (crops, trees, what have you) under the orders of Mr Sunshine, of course. You find a world of happiness, where people are given free money! It rains from the sky every so often - actually, that’s incorrect, it’s thrown from the sky by robots. Waking up in a cave, the ghost (yes “the” ghost, just roll with it) tells you to go out - so you do. You’re still here? Fine, I’ll tell you more about the game, then… But I’m warning you, it’s charming as all get out on its own merits. Which isn’t much - and that’s for the best. Go find the trailer and check that out, and you’ll have all of the information that you need. Pikuniku is a 2D puzzle platformer full of charming characters, and to tell you more would only spoil your enjoyment of this title.
