On the surface, The Adventures of Pip looks like another 2D, side-scrolling, princess-saving platformer. Looks, however, can be deceiving. And in the case of this Super Mario-inspired indie, they can be devolving too (more on that in a moment.)
Our protagonist, Pip, is a single pixel. Literally. The tiny red block of a hero could pass for a cube of jello. As I quickly learn during my hands-on time, however, Pip doesn’t stay a pixel for very long. On a quest to defeat an evil queen and, yes, rescue a royal damsel in distress, players must evolve and devolve Pip to progress. Or, “evo and devo,” as creative director Marc Gomez shorthands.
