Today at PAX East in Boston, The Game Effect was able to sit down and get a hands-on with the latest build of the upcoming indie platformer Pid. The game is being developed by Might & Delight, a team made up of veterans from Bionic Commando: Rearmed.
"Long ago, the studio that developed the incredible Bionic Commando: Rearmed broke up. Some of the remaining staff formed Might & Delight, which would go on to release games like Book of Travels and the Shelter series. Might & Delight's first game, though, was an ultra-hard platformer called Pid. Ten years later, Pid is about to find a new life on Nintendo Switch. On November 18, a whole new generation will get to face the game's beauty, challenge, and 2-player local co-op," says Co-Optimus.
As a huge lover of Little Big Planet, the author became fond of Pid. The whole game reminds her of LBP. Like the aforementioned game, Pid is a very puzzling side scroller game, where you jump from different platform levels, collect currency, and hidden collectibles throughout your journeys. In Pid, you must avoid all of the little enemies on the map - touch one and you may be faced with a nasty death!
SteamFirst: Pid is a 3D puzzle platformer developed by Might and Delight, the studio who brought us Shelter. The game features eccentric scenery, a cartoon like atmosphere that looks as if it was plucked straight from a child’s imagination and puzzles that’ll keep you playing until the very end. Today I’m going to be taking a look at some gameplay and discussing the game and it’s features.
Review score: 4.5/5
