Review Gangreen 2/5 · Jun 22, 2026

Will have to just put it down

Enjoying the levels but the boss battles have really soured me. Sounds like it just gets worse in that regard.

The first one is a classic poor design. You spend most of the level just kiting from the boss until he happens to move into position where you can get a shot. He is stunned for a period of time …

The first one is a classic poor design. You spend most of the level just kiting from the boss until he happens to move into position where you can get a shot. He is stunned for a period of time and you get free hits. Very lame.

Fun platforming....and there are bosses too.

I enjoyed the platforming and the speed-running through trying to find the big coins and such....

But, this game has bosses and they were NOT enjoyable.

Overall, a decent nearly 10 hours with the game, but those bosses probably account for a far larger percentage than they should.

Cool

#DNF but I just wanted to sing it's praise. Pepper Grinder is a brilliantly designed platformer masquerading as a movement game, sadly I have a deep loathing for platformers and the precision and patience required to jump from one fucking block onto another fucking block. Regardless, when it works and you're chaining momentum from sand pit to sandpit, for a …

Regardless, when it works and you're chaining momentum from sand pit to sandpit, for a few seconds it can feel glorious.

I enjoyed this game for what it was, but felt a little weird that I was able to complete the whole game(including the extra levels) in just over 3 hours. The platforming was alright but at times could feel a little too twitchy, as if the game was expecting me to make sudden actions with too little reaction time. The whole gimmick with digging around was fun though, I just wish we had more levels that explored this core mechanic deeper.

CAN YOU DIG IT!

Fun gameplay, excellent level design, colorful graphics and a really good challenge. What else can you ask for? Well, maybe a good story but you won't find that one here. At least it has mutant narwhals as enemies. That's pretty original.

I really enjoyed my almost 5 hours getting to the credits and then trying to get the best time possible in my favorite levels. Is one of those games that speedrunners will enjoy the most.
