Overview
Pipkind: A Dice Puzzle Adventure is a casual puzzle game from developer and publisher Short of Genius, released on October 20, 2026. It blends retro pixel art with a falling-blocks mechanic, but with a dice-based twist.
You control a small character named Pip, and your goal is to pop matching dice before the stack reaches you. The game is single-player, supports full controller input, and includes Steam Achievements and custom volume controls.
Highlights
- Dice-matching puzzle core: Choose a number, line up a shot, and pop the matching dice. A wrong number sticks to the stack, so every move matters.
- 100 worlds with 10 levels each: Travel through a hundred worlds, each ending with a friend's job—gather gold item blocks, follow a mix, or clear a delivery route.
- Job supplies accept any dice number: Wheels, gears, and other job items don't require a specific number, so look for the item picture and make your shot count.
Who It's For
Pipkind is ideal for puzzle fans who enjoy a relaxed but strategic challenge. The cute pixel art and friendly tone make it approachable, while the combo system and row-clearing powers add depth for players who like to optimize their moves.
It's also a great pick for those who appreciate retro aesthetics and short, playful sessions.
