Watch the competition live now: https://www.twitch.tv/pepitestudios

Based on Peppy's Adventure gameplay, 15 streamers' communities representing 15 countries battle it out for the podium in a competition featuring 14 levels and a final boss.

The experience* takes place on a turn-based basis with the next stream being chosen randomly among those being live. During each attempt, chat content from the selected streamer is converted into directions to control their avatar. Each attempt lasts 3 minutes by default, but viewers can add or subtract time in real time by typing + or - in the chat of this channel. If no stream is live, the wildcard (with the Twitch skin) plays by randomly connecting to top world streams.

We are also broadcasting two other streams with French and USA/CANADA rosters:

[h3]A New World is available[/h3]
We are thrilled to share the launch of World 7: Ancient Ruins! Within this realm, Peppy is set to face novel challenges as he engages in interactive crate gameplay while evading perilous traps.

[h3]New Assist Mode[/h3]
We are also introducing a new Assist Mode: Time Moves When You Move. With this mode enabled, time freezes until you move or press WAIT to move time forward manually. Ideal for players who prefer a more relaxed pace, this feature eases the pressure of the real-time aspect of the game.

[h3]Custom Music[/h3]
We are aware that when playing for hours it can be cool to have the possibility to listen to custom music. Now you can curate your own MP3 soundtracks for different parts of the game, like world levels (W1, W2, etc.), boss fights (B), speedrun levels (S) or duel levels (N). Just copy your MP3 files in the corresponding folders and the game will automatically play the music when you enter the levels.

Custom Music folder path:

• Windows: %LocalAppData%\Peppy\PeppyData\{64BitSteamID}\custommusic\
  
• MacOsx: ~/Library/Application Support/com.pepitestudios.peppysadventure/PeppyData/{64BitSteamID}/custommusic/
  
• Linux: ~/.config/Peppy/PeppyData/{64BitSteamID}/custommusic/
  

Hi all, we are delighted to announce that we just launched a TwitchPlays experience on our official Twitch channel. For this purpose, we had to make a modified version of the game where the time passes only when a command chosen from the chat is executed. Beside building a fun UI with different stats on players and the game, we have added a giveaway prize for players who wish to participate in this challenge of completing the game 100%, the more players there are, the more the prize will go up. In addition, we will be gifting some copies of the game along the way. All details and rules are available in the Twitch description.



To be transparent, this idea originated from a wish to bring awareness around the game in the hope it can allow us to fully complete the development of the game in the way we imagined it. We have so many new features, worlds and story elements we would love you to explore and we need to face the hard truth that the game is not profitable. Its totally fine as we initially started this adventure as a passion project, and we will always do our best to keep working on it, but before moving our main activities to something else we wanted to bring you something fun and see if you guys can 100% the 6 worlds collectively.

Starting now and for the duration of the experience only, if you own the game, you will be able to unlock an exclusive skin by typing the following code on the title screen of the game:



We believe its a really tough challenge to complete this game as a crowd, but passionate players have already shown that they can accomplish amazing things when it comes to skills or working together. We are excited to witness such an exploit and we will be watching attentively the chaos while you try to guide Peppy through the game.

Best of luck to all of you!
Cheers
Stephane & Lionel

After more than 1 year of improving and polishing the game since the launch, we have reached a milestone where we have implemented everything we wanted in our original vision.

We came a long way from the release, from improving the user experience, visual quality, adding a time-rewind mechanic, better difficulty ramp-up, a time-attack mode, cutscenes, etc. Looking back, it is now clear that we should have launched the game in early access to release it as it is now. Yet we didnt give up and did our best to make the game better and take into account your feedback.

To celebrate this milestone, we have decided to make an aggressive sale to allow for more visibility and get more players to get started on this challenging but unique game.

Peppys Adventure has not yet reached the attention we hoped for. Yes, its a niche game, and beyond skills you also need to figure out how to solve the puzzles. The game is meant to be hard, but yet fair. The unlimited time-rewind feature, the magical flutes or the hint system allow for players not to be stuck and always have room for progression. The game is also often overlooked, but beyond the basic/retro gameplay, there are side quests, bosses, characters encounters, secret items, and a storyline.

We are actively working on World 7 to make it awesome and there is so much more to come in the future, including more themed worlds with new power-ups and hopefully multi-player modes.

We hope you will keep supporting us to bring awareness, as a tiny studio its super difficult to get noticed. Thanks!

Anyone playing the game during this sale will be granted a unique skin for Peppy that will remain available in your dressing room after the event ends.

Hi all,

[h3]Stars & Staff Records[/h3]
We decided to remove the 4-star records from levels to make sure players are not confused or think those are required to progress or to complete the storyline of the game. 4-star records represent the developers best times and are meant to be the ultimate challenge, but they are totally optional in the game.
As a consequence, levels will be shown as complete when the players get 3 stars, i.e. when the intended way of completing the levels has been found.
When a player gets 3 stars, developers record will still be shown as an information and players can get back anytime to any level to try to beat those times if they feel like it.


[h3]Time Rewind feature[/h3]
Also, even though we tried to make the time-rewind feature obvious (through text, in-game signs, pop-ups, text added on the death screen, etc), we figured out some players just do not use it or maybe do not understand the power of this feature.
Sure, it not compulsory to use it, but using it considerably makes the levels easier to complete. Instead of dying and retrying from the beginning, players can just rewind time anytime and therefore explore different routes on the fly until finding the right one. It somehow could be seen as an invincible mode and avoids the frustration of doing things over and over again.
Therefore, we decided to reinforce the message by highlighting the feature on the death screen until players have accumulated 30 seconds of rewinding time.



Thanks for your support!

We added cutscenes to develop the storyline of the characters and introduce some in-game mechanics. We believe it was important to let the players feel the story unfolding in parallel of the main action.

For players who already passed the levels unlocking the cutscenes, a replay button is available in the level preview screens.

Enjoy :)

Hi all,

We have been experimenting with online multiplayer gameplay possibilities, allowing for players to either compete or solve puzzles together.

Things are not set in stone yet, but basically, we are considering adding the following modes to a future release.

VS mode
Several players would be competing with each other (how many simultaneously is yet to be defined) on how fast they can figure out and complete a level or most likely a series of levels in a row. To keep things fun, this mode would be more focused on skills with balanced difficulty levels, while ensuring gameplay remains dynamic. Like in racing games, players would be able to see the position of other players in real time, get a ranking and likely earn points based on their performances.

2p Co-op mode
This mode would be similar to a story mode, where the players would progress on a map in different environments to solve puzzles together.
Instead of just granting the two players with the same abilities, it seems much more fun to implement an asymmetric gameplay by having one player controlling the main character (Peppy) and the other one playing as a character with slightly different capabilities.

Here is an early 2p co-op gameplay video:

We cannot provide any release date for these online multiplayer modes but they are in development and you are more than welcome to join our Discord to participate in future beta or if you want to give feedback.

• World transition cutscene
  
• Water foam near shores and around floating objects
  
• Footprints, dust effects and particule effects when walking/running
  
• Enhanced animation for some objects
  
• Screen transitions improvements
  
• Title screen upgrade
  
• UI scaling for ultra-wide screens
  
• Various misc improvements
  

The Time Rewind mechanic is bringing more flexibility to the gameplay by allowing players to undo previous moves up to 10 seconds. This is adding a fun and interesting piece of gameplay as well as making the game more accessible to some players.


It's even possible to rewind death
