Pepper Grinder is a solid game where movement is the main focus, in particular mainly involving the player use a drill that can then go through dirt and whatnot and charge out of them. This makes for a very quick and smooth rush through most of the levels, and it often coupled with additional gimmicks such as material that breaks as you drill through it.

The game is pretty short which might disappoint some, but I found it to be nice regardless. There's a few parts that can be frustrating, particularly an elevator segment in the next to last stags, but besides these everything else feels great to play. There are also bosses to fight, one at the end of each world, they're cool as well and rely on you charging out of dirt beneath them to attack. Lastly, I'll of course mention that the artwork and music are great and solidly match the gameplay.
