Piyo's Adventure is an exhilarating side-scrolling action game with simple controls: run, stomp on enemies, and blast them away. Dash through stages that shift from grassland to desert, snowy peaks, and a starlit night, and see how far you can get. Chain knockouts and keep a no-damage streak alive to send your score climbing, and every so often a distinctive boss blocks the road ahead.
Every seven rounds, the Depths await. Defeat the gatekeeper, the Dark Scarecrow, and a pipe rises up beneath your feet, taking you down a one-way path lined with lava, spikes, and spinning pillars of flame. At the very bottom waits the game's toughest enemy: the Dark Priestess. The Depths come in five layouts. In the third and the fourth the route splits into an upper and a lower path, and in the fifth it splits three ways — high, middle and low — and on every layout the path you pick changes the ground and the dangers. In the last two, a shelf of rock walls the paths apart, so there is no changing your mind until they meet again. There's also a dedicated Depths Mode that runs five of them back to back.
There's plenty to dig into. Pipes along the way lead to five kinds of bonus rooms, the shop sells healing and items, and anything you tuck into the Magic Pouch comes along on every run. The eight costumes change not just your look but the way you fight, while an encyclopedia, achievements, badges, daily missions, and five online leaderboards keep the record of your adventures. And if something comes up, the Adventure Bookmark lets you stop mid-run and pick up right where you left off next time.
Defeat the gatekeeper and a pipe rises beneath your feet, opening a one-way path with no way back. Past the lava, the spikes, and the spinning pillars of flame, the Dark Priestess is waiting. In the fifth layout the route splits three ways — high, middle and low — and a shelf of rock walls them apart until they meet again.
Ninja Piyo double jumps, Witch Piyo glides on the air, Samurai Piyo dives into a slash from above, and Cyber Piyo runs with a drone that picks off enemies on its own. Change how you look and the whole game runs differently.
The Adventure Bookmark, sold in the shop, lets you break off a run wherever you like. Next time, choose Continue on the title screen and pick up right where you stopped.
