Our take on Puppy Pipy
The likely bounce point is the shift between stage systems: players who settle into one kind of physics puzzle will need to adapt when gravity, bouncing, rotation, fluid, or lift becomes the focus.
What is Puppy Pipy?
Puppy Pipy is a 2D action-puzzle platformer about a six-week-old golden retriever searching for the boy who adopted him after they are separated.
The story is set in 1940s Los Angeles. Its five stages each center on a physical property: gravity, bouncing, rotation, fluid, or lift. Pipy uses stage-specific items, including a tennis ball, a Frisbee, and a water gun, alongside abilities such as double jumping, dashing, gliding, and evasive moves. These tools are used to solve puzzles and fight enemies. The journey also brings Pipy into contact with characters who offer food, advice, or help, including a dog, a hamster, and a mother duck looking for her duckling.
