Press release:
March 28th, 2024.
The Austin-based (Texas, the US) indie games publisher Devolver Digital and indie games developer Ahr Ech, are today very proud and happy to announce that their action-packed 2D adventure/platformer “Pepper Grinder, is now available for PC (via Steam) and the Nintendo Switch (via the Nintendo Eshop).

Challenging platforming, lush pixel art, clever environmental puzzling, and chaotic combat await you in this vibrant side-scroller, complemented by a thrilling soundtrack and ultra-tight, immensely satisfying controls.

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 a drill named 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.

Pepper Grinder is an electrifying blend of slick platforming, screen-shaking action, and unique drill-based traversal—and you can take it for a spin today on PC and Switch.
