Hello everyone! After 7 years since the release of Pikuniku, we’re thrilled to finally reveal Pikuniku 2! We’ve been working on it since 2023. Yup, it’s been a long time. Making a 3D sequel has been both wild and delightful! In Pikuniku 2, Piku and his friends pack a picnic and set off once more to whimsically wander through the wonderfully weird. Our story begins with an escaped sandwich and a boat wreck, and only gets odder from there. With the friends scattered across the archipelago, Piku sets off to find them and ultimately return home. We’re taking our time to experiment with new mechani

This may be the month of ghosts and ghoulies, but we should still make time for gags and good times. To that end, do grab this week’s Epic Games Store freebie if so inclined, it’s Pikuniku. Released last year, it’s a lovely platforming explore-o-puzzler starring a wee blob with little kicking legs. Frankly, just watching those sticky feet is enough to cheer me up. And it’s good. And it’s free to keep. So that’s good. (more…)

Another Thursday is here, which means another round of free PC games from the Epic Store. Right now, you can grab RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition from the store, and while next week's selection won't tickle your nostalgia bones in quite the same way, it's an excellent one. Pikuniku is a comedic puzzle platformer where you play as a little blob dude out to save a cutesy world from a dystopian deep state conspiracy. It's a jaunty little adventure that's just a few hours long, which makes it a perfect pickup as a freebie. It's genuinely very funny, which is all-too-rare in videogames, an

Lovely platformer Pikuniku, which our John was gushing about only the other day, today launched for all of us to enjoy. Which is good, because it’s good. Great legs on this lad too. A cracking kick. “Oh gosh, this is lovely,” is our John said in his Pikuniku review, and what I remember of playing an early version yonks again lines up with that. Though I don’t remember a dance-off against a robot. (more…)

Kid's TV shows, you've no doubt discussed with friends while waiting for someone to come back from the all-night garage with a packet of french fancies and a fresh packet of skins, can be kind of sinister. Not just your straight-up, in your face Chocky sinister either; beneath the primary colours and blunt language of many a show there's the feeling that something's not quite right. Which is part of the thrill - the weird, messy thrill - of Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared, the YouTube phenomenon that starts off BBC and then goes full Current 93, a nursery rhyme whose occult roots crack through all th

I first saw Pikuniku at EGX. On a show floor you can’t really appreciate nuance so I’ll be honest, it was the bright, round characters which drew me over. I stayed because I could kick things with my character’s little red legs. I didn’t have enough time to get much more than that, so when it came to the review it was such a lovely moment to realise it wasn’t actually a Wattam-style interactive toy, but a little dystopian tale wearing a Mr Men and Little Miss storybook aesthetic. After an opening cinematic where a pink cloud offers you free money, you, a litt

Developer: Sectordub Publisher: Devolver DigitalRelease: 24th Jan On: Windows, Mac, Linux From: Itch, Steam, GOG Price: TBA Do you remember those jelly-like toy octopuses you had when you were a kid, which you throw at a window or wall? They’d half-stick/half-walk their way down the surface, their legs glooping on and off as they rolled in a semi-controlled fall. That’s what the character in the ridiculously delightful Pikuniku most immediately reminds me of. It’s just the way he walks. It’s the most adorable thing there is. And he kicks too. (more…)

Described as a "delightful dystopian adventure", Pikuniku is a vibrantly coloured puzzle game with a cheerful-but-knowing Adult Swim mood about it. Published by Devolver, it'll launch on Steam and GOG on January 24. As far as I can tell, it's all about guiding a charming long-legged blob through an open-ended cartoon world. This  long-legged blob will need to help various other blob-like characters solve a series of hilarious condundrums. The protagonist blob is presumably more capable of solving problems thanks to the length of their legs (they're long). In the p
