Avis des joueurs Steam
Short but sweet game, finds a way to keep the main mechanic of drilling interesting from stage to stage, whether it's by surprising you with the item you drill with, or by introducing different types of terrains/obstacles you drill through and into....
Gameplay très fun et difficulté bien dosé, un 100% un peu rapide mais le boss de fin est vraiiiment très stylé avec des détails subtils très sympa alors ça pardonne tout xD Enjoy !

Pepper Grinder review: short, sweet and incredibly neat
Pepper Grinder is one of those games that has so many great moments in it that recounting them would almost feel unfair to anyone hoping to play it. There are feats of platforming prowess on show here that should really be experienced fresh and unsullied by rudimentary descriptions of them, because to say anymore would be to spoil the surprise. This feels doubly important when the game itself is so fleeting in length, its brief and dizzying journey through the dirt, magma, ice and marshy bogs of this strange, treasure-stuffed island coming to a swift conclusion in just over three and a half hours. It left me wanting more the moment the credits rolled, but deep down I know it's also perfectly formed just the way it is. Rather than outstay its welcome, Pepper Grinder shows up, performs its party trick, then gets the hell out of the way, leaving you to bask in the warm glow of a good game well done. Read more
Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Pepper Grinder undoubtedly shines as another gem in Devolver Digital’s diverse portfolio, reaffirming their reputation for delivering standout indie games that captivate and entertain. Pepper Grinder is sure to delight platformers with its unique mechanics and treasure-collecting glory. »
« Pepper Grinder is one of the most entertaining 2D platformers I've played in ages, with fantastic motion and seriously creative and varied stages. »
« There’s more to Pepper Grinder than just digging. Ahr Ech successfully managed to cram fluid platforming and free-flowing traversal in ways that make its hallmark digging mechanics joyous while innovating in using the drill for other utilitarian purposes. Its 2D platforming is refreshing and rewarding when you settle into the groove of being able to move in every direction. I truly dug Pepper Grinder, and I sincerely hope that Ahr Ech continues to make fantastic retro platformers while also expanding the current universe of narwhal pirates. Hopefully those games come sooner rather than later. »
« Pepper Grinder is a treasure trove of excitement and charm, beckoning players to sail into its captivating world and embark on a thrilling adventure unlike any other. »
« Pepper Grinder is an innovative platformer that should be on your backlog of games to play and is the perfect snack-sized experience to hold you over until your next big title. The fluid gameplay, stunning pixel art visuals and slapping soundtrack will make you hungry for more. »
« When taking a glimpse at the gameplay of Pepper Grinder, the brain’s neurons start rapidly firing as it looks so satisfying. And I’m elated to say that the experience delivers on it being an absolutely fun ride of an arcade platformer. There’s no doubt that developer Ahr Ech put a ton of work into making sure all the elements aligned for a gratifying experience. »
« Pepper Grinder is a unique and challenging title that has you drilling through everything to recover your stolen treasure. With great visuals and jazzy music, this is a title to check out! »
« Pepper Grinder has a very good core idea and builds fun platforming levels and puzzles around its big drill. The four worlds introduce new ideas and challenges, as well as boss fights. The pixel art makes the world come alive more than the narrative. The focus on replaying levels and collectibles isn’t up my alley but the design is good and will satisfy gamers interested in it. Pepper Grinder is fast and tense, with plenty of variety, a steady increase in difficulty, and has the potential to reverse grinding’s bad reputation. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« It's a decent game and you can tell that care was taken to build levels with variety and many different mechanics to keep us engaged. However, I thought the mechanics lacked more refinement, especially the one with the grapple. I also found the construction of the game's universe, including plot, characters and environments, to be very superficial and charmless. »
« 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. »
« [SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.] »
« 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. »
« umaloucura que acontece nesse jogos, sei nem explicar direito meu sentimento quanto a isso »
