About the game

Pip is a tiny wind-up robot lost in a toy castle. Explore twenty connected rooms across Pillow Hills, Gear Works, the Deep Well, the Cloud Loft and the Clock Tower, collecting dream stars and heart cans, then find two batteries to open the tower gate and face the Alarm King.

Along the way Pip finds Rocket Boots, a Spring Coil and a Magnet Grip, but only two of the three fit at once. Each later area needs a different pair, so resting at a shrine and swapping powers is part of every route. The map shows what you have explored, and shrines save your progress. If a ledge seems out of reach, remember it and come back with the right pair.
