I don’t think I’ve ever been in love with the world of a game as much as I am with the world of Pikuniku. Sunshine amassing these resources? You’ll have to play the game to find out! Sunshine’s plot, and put a stop to his nefarious resource-stripping deeds – free money be damned. There is, however, a small resistance on the rise, and it’s up to them (and you, of course) to uncover Mr. FREE MONEY! What was I saying? Oh yeah – the valley residents are losing all their corn (and only source of food) while the forest residents sit back and watch their trees (and homes) be destroyed by Mr. Sunshine and his robot minions are co-opting all of the islands resources, while distracting the inhabitants with free money. As you exit your cave and get oriented with the vibrant, adorable 2D world of Pikuniku, you’ll discover a sinister plot afoot – namely, Mr. Piku wakes up in a cave, with only a Ghost to greet them – the Ghost suggests you explore the world, and sends you off with the classic, “It’s dangerous to go alone, take this! My full moral support” which pretty much sets the tone for the entire game. But what is Piku? What is their role in this world? Where do they come from, where do they go? Pikuniku answers none of these questions, but does hope that you have some fun along the way. You play as Piku, a small red… thing with long legs, well suited for rolling, jumping, and most importantly, booting things with the kind of power that seems impossible for such stick-like appendages. I’ve played a ton of indie games with genuine heart, quirky dialogue, and charming characters, but none quite like the wacky world of Pikuniku.
