As mentioned before, the duality of the subject matter is impressive. It’s enough to make both a child and adult giggle for completely different reasons. Kids will find enjoyment in kicking around unsuspecting and helpless NPC’s to their heart’s content, and adults will find amusement at how much the main antagonist reminds them of Kim Jong-Un.
Pikuniku is a delightful minimalistic platformer from developer Sectordub and published by Devolver Digital.
In Pikuniku, you play as a little red character that is simply a little red oval with eyes and legs. The world is filled with other cute nonsensical beings who need your help. Despite its bright and colorful aesthetic, something sinister is afoot, with ominous security cameras peaking behind buildings. The mystery of the big brother like town is somehow perfectly contrasted with the minimal cartoony style and has me very curious.
