Pipistrello and the Cursed YoYo is a top-down pixel art metroidvania where animal gangs meet Zeldalike yo-yo combat. Explore a retro-inspired city, unlock abilities, and uncover secrets.
Great review! Wishlisted. A couple of my favorite games that I played recently are Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion and Garden Story, and this game seems to have a lot in common through the zelda-like tradition.
Thanks Evan! I saw another creators video about it awhile back and jumped at getting a review key. It was so worth it. Garden Story was a lot of fun I don’t know why I never finished. Adding that back to my list haha
Between this and Animal Well, I’m glad to see the mighty yo-yo making a comeback as a video game weapon!
In all seriousness, this game looks like so much fun and I had genuinely never heard of it till now. Thanks for putting it on my radar with this great review!
Ha yes! Good call. I now regret not adding something about the yoyo in Animal Well to the review. haha Its a lot of fun I think any old school zelda fan or metroidvania fiends will have a good time.
Wow, this looks cool. Not sure if I'll pay $20 for it, but I'll keep an eye out for a sale.
Lets hope its on sale for Steam Summer Sale!
Superb review!! I did read or hear about this game a while back and thought this has great potential, then honestly it went off my radar!!
Thankyou so much for putting back on and my wish list too!!
Hey Stephen! Thanks 😊 I appreciate it. It’s definitely one that is a hidden gem.

neither did i - i just noticed that detail when i glanced at the wikipedia page to confirm the release date.
i haven’t played it either, actually. the only reason i’m aware of it is because i watched Dunkey’s review of it and thought it was funny.
also: there was a 3D platformer last year called Penny’s Big Breakaway that prominently features a sentient yo-yo
Oh I didn’t know it was a sentient yo-yo. It’s on my wishlist and I’m obsessed with the soundtrack. Looks like I need to compile a Yoyo video haha
