Gameplay

In Adventures of Pip, the player plays as Pip, a single pixel born into a world of hi-res and lo-res characters. As Pip defeats his enemies, he gains the ability to evolve into an 8-bit hero and later a 16-bit hero. Each evolution has its advantages and disadvantages. Pip must switch between his evolutions to complete levels. Players will need to evolve and devolve, wall jump, run, shove, break blocks, float, collect, and fight their way through bosses and henchmen till they get to the Evil Queen DeRezia.{{cite web|last=Miller|first=Zachary|date=June 3, 2015|url=https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/review/40375/adventure-of-pip-wii-u-eshop-review|title=Adventure of Pip (Wii U eShop) Review|website=Nintendo World Report|publisher=NINWR, LLC|access-date=January 14, 2023|archive-date=January 14, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230114192827/https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/review/40375/adventure-of-pip-wii-u-eshop-review|url-status=live}}{{cite web|last=Latshaw|first=Tim|date=June 4, 2015|url=https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/wiiu-eshop/adventures_of_pip|title=Review: Adventures of Pip (Wii U eShop)|website=Nintendo Life|publisher=Gamer Network|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150607174842/https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/wiiu-eshop/adventures_of_pip|archive-date=June 7, 2015|url-status=dead|access-date=January 14, 2023}}

The iOS and Wii U versions received "generally favorable reviews", while the PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Switch versions received above-average reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.

Dermot Creegan of Hardcore Gamer called the Wii U version "a delightful little platformer full of charm, challenge and impeccable level design." Andrew Fitch of EGMNow said of the same Wii U version, "Tic Toc Games' impressive pedigree at WayForward is on full display in Adventures of Pip—one of the only problems is that it's not quite as feature-rich as you'd like."
