Our take on Pivot Pilot
The simultaneous-control premise adds a distinctive puzzle layer, but it also makes movement more demanding than a conventional platformer. Progress depends on managing the boy and robot arm together while navigating hazards, so the game gives up simplicity of control for coordination-focused challenges.
What is Pivot Pilot?
Pivot Pilot is a platformer with puzzle elements built around simultaneous control of Eli, a boy trapped in a testing facility, and a giant robot arm.
Progress requires coordinating both characters through dangerous experiments. Levels include spikes, saw blades, turrets, lasers, gravity beams, and sections where Eli rides the arm. The game combines conventional platforming with controls for manipulating the robot arm. Its structure includes 40 experiments and 10 hidden arcade experiments, giving the facility a set of distinct challenges to complete. The goal is to cooperate with the arm and escape the testing facility.
