‘Adventures of Pip’ Gets $9.99 Sale Price for PAX 10 and a Controls Update

TouchArcade Rating:

Did you miss Adventures of Pip ($5.99) when it was $4.99 at launch? Well, while I think the game is worth $14.99 since it’s a good platformer and that’s what the game is worth on other platforms, I’m here to tell you about an opportunity to both pay an above-average price for a mobile game and still get a discount. Because Adventures of Pip is in the PAX 10, the developers at Tic Toc Games have put the game on sale for $9.99 for the weekend. No one knows when the game will be on sale again, so if you want the game for less than $14.99…do it now.

The sale also coincides with an update that improves the d-pad controls for the game. Now, the game boasts a dynamic virtual joystick that seems to work pretty well based on my testing of it, where you swipe sideways from where you place your thumb down to go in that direction. The game still supports MFi controls, and as a retro-inspired platformer, that just feels like the right way to play this game. But the improved touch controls are welcome, and address one of the biggest complaint in our review about this otherwise fantastic platformer.
