Sure thing, let’s dive in. This game — “Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo” — sounds like a wild ride. Imagine this: a yoyo-master named Pippit, trying to unravel a mystery involving their aunt and some over-the-top crime lords. Something about a soul-stealing mega-laser, which is as ridiculous as it is intriguing. I mean, who doesn’t want to stop a mega-laser with a yoyo?
So, this game’s a 2D top-down thing, and they’re calling it “Yoyovania”. Not a clue who came up with that term, but it kinda sticks. In this chaotic city, Pippit slides around learning yoyo tricks—no joke—and each trick is supposed to change how you see the game’s world and the baddies lurking there. Pretty clever, huh? Or maybe it just sounds like they thought it would be cool.
There’s this wild promise of 1000 screens packed with challenges and secrets across four city districts. Sounds like a lot, but who’s counting, right? But wait, you also get to infiltrate businesses run by these crime bosses. Picture this: sneaking through mazes, solving action puzzles, probably getting lost a few times. Sounds messy but could be fun!
And the badges—more than 40 of them. These things are gonna alter your gameplay in ways you might not expect. Maybe it’s like having sugar in your coffee when you’re used to it black—an unpleasant surprise or a delightful twist? Plus, there’s a loan shark offering passive upgrades, which is either shady or genius. Who loans you powers, though?
Then there are 80-something other collectibles. Why so many? No idea. Hopefully, they’re worthwhile, like finding an extra fry at the bottom of the bag.
Circle the date—28th May 2025—’cause that’s when this quirky adventure hits the Nintendo eShop for Switch users everywhere. Anyway, I’m curious—what’s a cursed yoyo even look like? Guess we’ll find out.
