Hell Pie is a 3D platformer with genuinely fun movement, you have a built-in swing that you can initiate at any point while airborne and upgrades to your moveset only increase the freedom offered. However, the game appears to design it's levels and areas on the premise that you barely ever use the swing mechanic and that you also never get any upgrades. This makes it feel quite pointless in hunting out the upgrade collectables and less fun to use all of the cool mechanics.

Of course the most striking aspect of the game is its cartoonish yet horribly crass art style. I don't really know what to say about it, though. It's gross for the sake of being gross, and it doesn't really add anything for me. Some of the jokes in the game land, and many of them don't.
