KICKSTARTER: www.kickstarte... STEAM: store.steampow... Announcing Pipsqueak! A search-action platformer starring a small mouse named Tofu - currently in development by us at Pond Games.
I hope you add some NPC, I absolutely adore the mouse design, other characters and some more cool enemes will make this world feel so real. Amazing artstyle
im just now seeing this game, im already interested and wishlisted it, i back this npcs bring every game to life especially pixel 2d games its almost a need to interact with them quests are always cool just opinions im not a dev lol idk what you can and cant do @pondgames3484
Amazing! The game is still early in development, while release on consoles is definitely a goal we can't guarantee it just yet. Nintendo's next console will almost definitely be available when Pipsqueak launches, so we would target that platform as well as the Switch assuming it is still supported
OOO i loved the bit at the start where you hit the falling rock into the boss just for salt into their wound. I can imagine that would be fun to pull off!
0:56 this song makes me feel weird, like a strange mix between melancholy, missing a friend, and being safe in a place you know and love, reaaaaal strong "Undertale" vibes! I'd love to hear the whole thing! I subscribed on the off-chance you drop a vid with that whole song, so if you decide to drop the OST for the game anytime soon let us know
My mum sent me the Twitter link some weeks ago because she knew one of the developers' friends. It's a very convoluted list of mutuals, but it's still cool to me.
This pixel art reminds me SO much of the Nitrome games, with not-too-chunky pixels and animations being in the same pixel range as the idle and moving sprites. I'm not for the more intense parkour platformer stuff like Hollow Knight, but i guess this feels more at home to me. Good luck on making your game! Already looks great and smooth-yet-classic so far.
I really like how this looks so far! I do hope tc's support puts more eyes on this project because it seems to have a lot of love put into just from this simple teaser. (Also i like the mouse mc, silly little goober :3)
Well I'm certainly glad the algorithm did its job today and showed me this! And what a nice trailer, shows exactly what it needs to, I really appreciate that! Instant backing - Good luck with the development guys! I hope the game gains all the traction it deserves.
I just finished the demo and wow! It is such a great game, the combat and movement feels amazing and the boss fight was super fun! Will definitely be buying as soon as it comes out.
i love the confidence in the showcase of the concept. no text, no voice over, just the game, its feel, and its mechanics. Very good trailer! And i love the way the project is looking so far!
I just came across this amazing trailer. The gameplay, music, and visual and sound design are amazing. Well done, it's on my wishlist and will be a day-one purchase for me.
Lots of great ideas just in this trailer alone, I was getting some hollow knight vibes with the mechanics but you guys did a great job on expanding that I think
Dude!! This is so underrated! The art and sound design is beautiful, this is just the most satisfying game ever! Subscribed, can't wait to see where this goes!
Looks fun. Love the art too, my only concern is that the player character could be hard to find in the heat of battle since the background is so detailed Guess a solution could be to have a transparent aura around the mouse to help set him apart
Looks amazing in style AND gameplay!! Pipsqueak remind me of the book Tales of Despereaux. I JUST WISH some the background elements were toned down in saturation or somehow given a little more depth. Would be a nice effect and help with seeing the action/foreground better. CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS TO RELEASE!!
I LOVE the extra functions on swinging the sword shown there. Reminds me of shovel knight. Platformers arent my thing so I probably won't play this but it LOOKS amazing, and clever mechanics too! Should end up being a classic for plenty of people.
I love the mechanic of traversing things that normally would hurt you by swinging your sword.
classic hollow knight (and shovel knight)
rogue legacy
@@DigitalWolverine It started on DuckTales NES.
@@RootVegetabIe Or Zelda 2?
@@RootVegetabIe lol I'm old enough to have played that, I just never got far
Now I wont go insane that either Silksong, Crowsworn, or Pipsqueak will cure my sanity.
in some very very very very fine company there, thank you for such high praise!
the hell is a silksong? Sounds like a fake game
@@Not_Nik0 its the sequel to hollow knight thats in development, you should check it out!
@@Not_Nik0 What Silksong? What are you talking about? There is no Silksong and there never will be one. Go home, everyone.
There is no silksong in ba sing se
That sound design is magic. ❤
Daym this looks so smooth!
This deserves more recognition
The art team COOKED with this one, its so visually pleasing
Thank you!
Just anothor avarage pixelated indie game

100% if you need any voice actors for NPC's (even just gibberish) or monsters please let me know!
Team Cherry’s support got this game on my radar, looks so good! Will this come to Switch? That is my platform for metroidvanias.
Amazing!

Same I’ll definitely be buying this when I comes out it looks great
I'm getting big Shovel Knight vibes from this and thats a good thing! Definitely looking forward to seeing more of Pipsqueak. Good luck!
OOO i loved the bit at the start where you hit the falling rock into the boss just for salt into their wound. I can imagine that would be fun to pull off!
You can tell if a game is really good just by watching a few seconds. Immediate backing. Hope y'all make it!

I love a cute main character wielding a big weapon. Definitely looking forward to it
So glad I got recommended this. The movement and artstyle look so good, looking forward to it!
Saw this on twitter and wondered when it would be announced on your yt. Enjoyed your last game
Thank you!
what was their last game?
@@worldweary5750 the last game was Rite, a precision platformer
My mum sent me the Twitter link some weeks ago because she knew one of the developers' friends. It's a very convoluted list of mutuals, but it's still cool to me.
@@worldweary5750 Hm I definitely replied what the game was, but I don't see the reply. Their last game was a precision platformer called Rite
I am IN LOVE with the art style 😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥

Good luck on making your game! Already looks great and smooth-yet-classic so far.
Oh my god I played the hell out of those games as a kid and I've never heard anyone else mention them. Definitely agree.
Their more recent projects (Bomb Chicken, Shovel Knight Dig) have been a huge inspiration visually! They are masters of the craft
This looks INCREDIBLE! I will pre-order as soon as it becomes available!
I really like how this looks so far! I do hope tc's support puts more eyes on this project because it seems to have a lot of love put into just from this simple teaser. (Also i like the mouse mc, silly little goober :3)
All game trailers should be more like this; 100% gameplay right away from the start
Well I'm certainly glad the algorithm did its job today and showed me this! And what a nice trailer, shows exactly what it needs to, I really appreciate that!
Instant backing - Good luck with the development guys! I hope the game gains all the traction it deserves.
awesome game! Congrats on reaching the Kickstarter goal
Lookin' incredible! Might have to pick this up.
I will never get tired of games like this. Looks amazing.
I like this, we need more games that have this fluid movement.
It looks like you tried really hard to make it pixel perfect movement. I appreciate that ♥
SO JUICY! My favorite bits are the boss animations and the bat and arrow noises.
You had my attention at pogo jumping , I’m invested
I was sold on this game the moment I heard the "tink" when his sword pogoed off of the environment
Randomly saw this in my recommended videos - looks fantastic. If it's going to release on consoles as well, I'll be there.
I just finished the demo and wow! It is such a great game, the combat and movement feels amazing and the boss fight was super fun! Will definitely be buying as soon as it comes out.
This looks amazing, so much vectors of interaction, everything so responsive. Masterful.

God bless the algorithm!! Wishlisted, love the music and fx sounds! Visuals are smoothy as the wind! Good luck. ❤
Well this is gorgeous. Love that really big sword, it really makes the mouse look tiny. Great character design.
The pixel animation feels specifically inspired by Shovel Knight Dig - which is a great surprise! Beautiful looking game.
I always watch these trailers with trepidation. I was relieved to see this was not a soulslike. Definitely gonna grab this on day one.
CZcams algorithm brought me here and I'm happy it did. Wishlisting on Steam right now, loved every second of this
This looks great! Super impressed with the movement. Thanks for showing off so much gameplay!
I was sold in the first 5 seconds! Wishlisted!
Smooth. Art, movement, combat. It all comes together so neatly.
This is such a lovely game! I'm learning to draw and animate in pixel art right now, and your game is officially one of my inspirations!!
definitely pickin this up i cant get enough of these types of games recently 😭😭
Looks fun. Love the art too, my only concern is that the player character could be hard to find in the heat of battle since the background is so detailed
Guess a solution could be to have a transparent aura around the mouse to help set him apart
This art style looks very Nitrome to me - that's a good thing! Looking good overall!
You can just tell this is expertly made. Looks fantastic! Combat and movement look amazing
This looks awesome! The art style is cute and has so much character. I’ll be playing the demo today for sure.
Looks amazing in style AND gameplay!! Pipsqueak remind me of the book Tales of Despereaux.
I JUST WISH some the background elements were toned down in saturation or somehow given a little more depth. Would be a nice effect and help with seeing the action/foreground better.

The puzzle with the enemy was class. I can't wait to see this!
Sound design seems on point
This looks like a lot of fun. Hoping for a bit of story to go with it :)
Man those animations look JUICY
Imagine having a backlog of games so you know you shouldn't back this on Kickstarter but do it anyway(couldn't be me).
Thank god this is not out yet. I still have like 10 indie games just from this month to play and this would have to go right at the top of the stack.
SO CUTE, the animations. movement and art are so good!!
I love the design of this character. :D
adorable. the sword jumping looks satisfying.
Wow! Zero bulshit trailer, just pure gameplay and features that talk for themselves.
This is what I wanted from Prince of Persia games, I'm really looking forward to this game now.
Yessss about time somebody featured mouses! Looks very cute, hope the gameplay is just as fun!
Good work guys! Looks sick!
That looks promising. Not only the visuals, but also the gameplay.
I love it!! The art style looks amazing, the gameplay looks fun and that boss looks so cool!!
YOOO NEW ADVENTURE PLATFORMER WITH A PRECIOUS LITTLE GUY AS THE MAIN CHARACTER JUST DROPPED 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I hope there are good tracks as well. The artstyle looks great and the gameplay solid. but don't forget about the music. Music is key as well!
This looks so good. Gorgeous art style, good mechanics. This feels like a metroidvania with a twist. Totally getting it in the future.
This video just popped in my recommendations. Looks really fun to play I'll definitely keep my eye on this one.
I LOVE the extra functions on swinging the sword shown there. Reminds me of shovel knight. Platformers arent my thing so I probably won't play this but it LOOKS amazing, and clever mechanics too! Should end up being a classic for plenty of people.
This looks really cute! Great job on the visuals! The art style is great!
And thus the legend of the hooded snout was born.
This looks fantastic, best of luck!
I remember seeing this early at a game expo, the dev was a really nice person, can't wait for it to come out!
Really love the art! It's a lil'bit blury sometimes, like the camera need to be more "smoother".
this is so cute, i love the art style!
Old nitrome vibes, some HK influence, a very calming pace. Very good. Very good.
Installing the demo as we speak - lets gooooo - game looks awesome.
Thank you CZcams algorithm.
🙏
little bit oh Hollow Knight, little bit of Ducktales, looks absolutely delightful combo!
This and memories in orbit will cure my thirst for silksong 🙏
This looks gorgeous! Will definitely get this
