"Adventures of Pip", the charming retro-inspired platformer where a single pixel evolves (and devolves!) between three forms to become a hero from Tic Toc Games, spreads nostalgic cheer on the Nintendo Switch system Thursday, September 10th.

I've played part of this game so far, and it is pretty charming, but don't let that fool you. There are some parts that will kick you straight in the teeth. I do agree with the reviewer though about some of the controls. There were many times where I'd jump towards a ledge, and my character wouldn't pull himself up (like he normally does) and instead jumped outward in the other direction. This can be a bit of an annoyance when your trying to avoid aggressive enemies and projectiles. The soundtrack is pretty rad though, would like to see that show up on iTunes eventually.
