Puppy Pipy

Puppy Pipy is a platformer puzzle game set in Los Angeles in 1940. After a 6-week-old golden retriever puppy named Pipy is abandoned, a young boy finds him in a trash bin and adopts him. An accident separates them, and Pipy sets out to find his family, encountering challenges and exploring the bond between a dog and a boy.

Puzzles and physics

The game has five stages, each built around a different physical property: gravity, bounce, rotation, fluid and lift. The physics are designed to work much like they do in the real world, and each puzzle has more than one solution, including faster routes and secret methods.

Pipy’s skills and items

Pipy learns skills including double jump, super dash, gliding and emergency evasion. Timed correctly, emergency evasion sends him toward enemies and defeats them immediately; it can also help him reach areas he could not get to normally. Each stage gives Pipy a unique item, such as dog poop, a tennis ball, a Frisbee or a water gun, which he can use to overcome challenges and defeat enemies.

Friends along the way

Pipy meets a black dog who feeds him when he is hungry, a hamster who helps him escape capture, a mother duck who asks him to find her duckling and a kind grandmother who gives him advice. These characters interact with Pipy and help teach him how to survive.
