TicToc Games have announced the release date for adventure platformer Adventures of Pip on Nintendo Switch.
The Pixel Kingdom is under attack by Queen DeRezzia, capturing the princess and lowering the pixel count of the citizens. Now, Pip has been granted the powers of the Bit Stream allowing him to transform between 1, 8, and 16- bit forms. Each of these grant Pip special abilities, and players will need to shift between them to best foes and solve puzzles.
As stated in the press release (via email) this version also features new features; such as quicker access to the town via a map shortcut, auto-collecting gems, quick-view achievements, and faster running speed as 16-bit Pip.
You can find the Nintendo Switch trailer below.
You can find the full rundown (via Steam) below.
Adventures of Pip revitalizes the classic side-scrolling action platform genre. Pip — the ultimate digital underdog – is a lowly single pixel in a 32-bit world who proves that you can’t judge a hero by the fidelity of his shaders. During the game, Pip gains the ability to evolve and grow by absorbing pixels from his fallen foes. Those same pixels can then be used to blast through environment puzzles and enemies, devolving Pip back to a single pixel. Players will explore five stylized worlds and experience up to 10 hours of epic adventure saving Pip’s village from the evil Queen DeRezzia.
Inspired by classic platformers, Adventures of Pip basks in a world where players can defeat a huge 32-bit boss as a single pixel or even as an 8-bit character.
With three different forms, evolve and devolve Pip to solve puzzles and defeat enemies; each with their own weakness and strength that must be unraveled throughout the campaign.
STORY
The Bit Stream is the life force that fuels Pixel Kingdom. The One who taps its power can forge the Kingdom’s destiny.
Pip is only one pixel in a world full of 32-bit characters, yet he is the only one brave enough to face the Queen DeRezzia and rescue the kidnapped princess.
Moved by his plight, the ghost knight, Sir Elwyn, bestowed upon Pip the power to harness the Bit Stream. With the ability to absorb his enemy’s pixels, Pip can transform into a hi-fidelity hero! But be aware! With each evolution not only will you gain skills but some will be lost.
Adventures of Pip is available on Windows PC, Mac (both via Steam), PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Android, iOS, and September 10th on Nintendo Switch.
