Pepper Grinder is coming to the Switch on March 28th, 2024 and a free demo is available on the Switch eShop right now. If that’s not enough coverage for you, you can enjoy a new trailer for the title above.

Developed by solo swashbuckler Ahr Ech and published by Devolver Digital, Pepper Grinder’s blisteringly fast-paced piratical platformer stars a treasure hunter named Pepper who uses her drill, Grinder, to swim through the earth as a dolphin swims through water.

After a freak storm tears Pepper’s ship apart, she washes up on the dangerous shores of a mysterious island and finds a group of narwhal-like creatures—a band of bilge-sucking buccaneers known as the Narlings—making off with her precious treasure.

But a chance encounter with the aforementioned Grinder gives her the power to fight these thieves head-on. Pepper embarks on a quest to retrieve her stolen booty, drilling her way across the island to recover her filthy lucre and show the Narlings—and their mysterious leader—why you should never mess with someone wielding an oversized power tool.

As excited as I was about this one, the demo just didn't click with me. I'm not sure what it is but the gameplay feels like it's lacking.

I'll give it another try and hope it hooks me this time!
