The evil skeleton queen has turned the royals into pixels, kidnapped the princess and is wreaking havoc on the Pixel Kingdom. Meet pip, a singular pixel that again shows you should never judge a book by it's cover, or density.

Upon embarking on your journey a ghost appears, an old knight named Sir Elwyn. Knowing Pip is the only character capable of saving the day the knight grants Pip great powers, the ability to tap into the Bit Stream the very lifeblood of the kingdom. Using the Bit Stream Pip is able to evolve into 3 distinct forms, all with there own pros and cons. A singular pixel that can't attack but fits into small spaces, 8bit Pip, able to climb and bounce of vertical walls while moving faster and 16bit pip, full knight with attack moves, sword and shield.

Process through the game is done on the world map, which consists of 6 zones all with alternate themes. Zones contain 8 levels and finish with a boss fight. Design was intelligent and had plenty of secret stashes and areas to uncover for replayability or 100% runs. First world started off easy don't let that fool you as the difficulty does ramp up, you will soon be swapping between forms multiple times to pass one puzzle or trap. Killing enemies and opening chests during levels will drop gems but to use them will require rescuing of townfolk. Each level contains 3 npcs to find, gradually they will report back for work duties giving you access to new upgrades.

The pixel art is beautiful and a very nice combination of old and new. Soundtrack could use a little more variation but I think more tracks will come with future updates. Did not attempt to use keyboard and mouse controls but gamepad was tight and responsive.

Overall if you are a fan of games like Kirby and Super Mario Brothers or just looking for a decent sidescrolling platformer with some meat on the bones, this is one early access game worth taking a look at. Successful Kickstarter campaign and content is all in place, just doing some spit shining. Cheers. :)

As a supporter of this game since its first Kickstarter with high hopes and standards for the game, I'm thoroughly glad to be able to finally recommend this game to everyone!

tl;dr: The Adventures of Pip offers a tight and well-balanced puzzle platforming experience bolstered by its strong soundtrack, visuals, and mechanics but marred by a slightly weak story!

Adventures of Pip showcases, well, Pip's adventure as he seeks to save the land from the evil Skeleton Queen!
The Bit Stream allows him to transform between 3 different forms/resolutions, from a one-bit boxel to a sword-wielding 16-bit warrior. Each form has its own benefits and drawbacks (as a boxel, Pip is slow, weak, but can float and greatly decrease the speed of his fall), allowing for many variations in gameplay as you evolve and devolve Pip to solve the many puzzles in the game! It's an awesome concept utilized very well in conjunction with the tight controls and varying game mechanics!

The game may look like your typical x-bit platformer, but the graphics actually combine both classic and modern looks. It results in a very eye-pleasing combination that could only have been made better with some more shaders/particle effects etc.. Jake Kaufman (AKA virt) procures another amazing orchestral soundtrack in this game, although not all the tracks are in the game right now being in Early Access state.

I do wish that there was more of a story. It's definitely more than the generic Mario "save the princess" story, but there are still characters with little backstory! Pip lives in an epic world that deserves more explaination!

There are also a few bugs and noticeable missing elements (a big one is sound effects) from this Early Access build, but it's still a very enjoyable experience if you decide to pick it up now!

Amazing music, pixel art, platforming in ONE GAME. I can't even. Seriously though. Between the boss fights and level design Pip is reminiscent if the greats. When is the last time you felt the thrill of the minecarts like Donkey Kong Country? Pip brings you that thrill back. Combining so many smaller elements into what overall feels great to play.

Edit2: DID I MENTION SECRETS. TONS OF SECRETS. Who doesn't like that #amirite

Please keep in mind this is Early Access (Below is my list of things I'd like to see worked on)

-Can not edit keyboard bindings
-Keyboard bindings are not listed anywhere.. (WASD, UIJK in case anyone is wondering)
-Pixels feel sparse / Some chest rewards are less then what you earned killing mobs getting there
-Hitboxes on some enemies are either too big or too small. Feels hit or miss at times
-Level skipping can be achieved with an simple Alt+F4 while on the map

*An Original Kickstarter Backer for TicTocGames*

Adventures of Pip is a 2D/3D mixed graphics Adventure Based Platformer about a Kingdom made from pixels. You play as Pip a single pixel that when defeating BitStream Creatures is able to "evolve" into the Hero the Kingdom needs to defeat the evil Queen and her minions.

While a game that is in early access it plays VERY polished there are some tiny glitches which is common for an Early Access game. (No game breaking glitches mostly just pixels when opening certain chests and enemies sometimes popping up in weird area's including sometimes in the walls or sometimes just falling from the sky after defeating an enemy.)

This game uses Controller Support and is also being made available for Playstation Xbox and Wii U in the future. Help TicToc Games by purchasing this game it is well worth the amount.

Clean graphics, Nice controls, good music and awesome animation. This is an Awesome game. If you like Classics like Super mario World or Kirby. You will like this game. Simply a treat!

Probably one of the games of the year, the STORY, the WORLD, the MUSIC, ALL PERFECT! 100% Recommended!

el juego me impresiono por su historia que es algo singular. tambien que la jugabilidad a los primeros minutos talvez te confunda pero a los minutos ya te aconstumbras a nivel complejo. Sus Graficos son buenos su musica para mi fue hermosa y los niveles son algo facil pero aun me falta por ganar. bueno si tengo que darle una puntuacion seria 8/10 puede darte mucho tiempo de entretencion

this game should win game of the year it is so good 10/10 i would buy again the graphics and the style of the game are so good

I wasnt able to back it during it's Kickstarter like I had wished at the time, but after playing it multiple times and spending several hours at the booth at PAX South I went and slacker backed it immediately. This game is just absolutely fantastic. The controls work very well, and the music and art are top notch. I also have to mention that the level design is great. They truly make evolving and devolving matter.

On a somewhat related note, the team behind the game are just a great group of people. They are just so friendly and passionate about their work and it is made very apparent in the game. I look forward to seeing more from TicToc.
