Crunchyroll: Pepper Grinder

Pepper Grinder feels like the spiritual successor to games like Drill Dozer, but with the speed and intensity of a modern indie hit like Celeste. The movement is incredibly satisfying; once you learn how to 'swim' through the dirt and launch yourself into the air, you’ll never want to go back to regular jumping.

The boss fights are a particular highlight, requiring you to use your drill in creative ways to find openings. It’s a short but incredibly sweet experience that doesn’t overstay its welcome. If you already have a Crunchyroll membership, this is a massive perk—it’s one of the best indie platformers to hit mobile in a long time.
