Our take on ppL

The bounce point arrives at the first sequence where traps, enemies, and precise platforming overlap. Players who can tolerate repeated failures may continue toward the bosses, while anyone seeking a forgiving introduction is likely to stop at the game’s deliberately harsh challenge curve.

What is ppL?

Play as ppL, a tiny frog pulled through a television screen into a strange dimension controlled by an unknown entity.

The game combines 2D platforming with tricky enemies, deadly traps, difficult obstacles, and boss encounters. Progress involves using The Weapon, ppL’s only stated companion, while navigating a world where mistakes can lead to death. The goal is to escape the bizarre reality, defeat its enemies, and discover who caused ppL’s disappearance. Retro-styled visuals, jammy music, and a distinct art style accompany the platforming challenge. The game also includes horses.

How ppL plays

01Weapon-Based Platforming: The Weapon serves as ppL’s only stated companion while navigating the dimension.
02Boss Encounters: Progress includes fights against strong bosses with familiar-looking designs.
03Deadly Obstacles: Traps, enemies, and difficult environmental challenges can stop ppL during the escape.
04Retro Presentation: The game pairs retro-styled visuals with jammy music and a distinct art style.

ppL compared to similar games

SUPER CHICKEN JUMPER also centers on a small animal in an action platforming format, but it is structured as a runner with shooting elements, while ppL focuses on difficult platforming, traps, and bosses. Sundered: Eldritch Edition is a chaotic metroidvania, giving it a broader exploration structure than ppL’s described escape through obstacle and boss encounters.
