Pid

Pid (Planet in Distress) is a platforming/puzzle game made by Might and Delight. I was lucky enough to get it from a Twitter Giveaway. I feel not enough people have played this truly amazing game, It features a unique art style with kooky looking characters and world, The only game I feel it bares resembles to is Little Big Planet for the PS3, PSVITA. It has great level mechanics, with the inclusion of a tool which allows you to place beams which will lift you up (similar to Light Bridges from Portal 2), this makes for most the puzzles in the game, to aid the player on his journey he can get items using Stars he collects, Items Include things like Armour, Bombs etc.
But also along the way there are hidden items, called memories which are souverniers, from playing the game, they seem to be very well hidden as I haven't even found one yet!.
One thing I really love about this game is the soundtrack it is amazing! really sets the mood, from the slow jazz at the beginning of the game to the catchy melodies later on. A concept I find really intresting in this game is there are sort of stealth elements to it, some enemies will if they detect you cause you to die, this makes more stratergy as to when to time movements, which leads me on to my next point, Pid is Hard, the puzzles aren't to hard but some of the platforming bits require movements which are done in a window of only seconds.
Once you have finished the story the game also has some other content, such as CO-OP, Challenge Maps and the Leaderboards to see how fast you can finish the game.

The only problem I have with the game, is at times it can feel a little repetive, I feel should there be a sequel, maybe adding more power ups or something would spice it up.
So In conclusion even though I was given this game I would happily pay for it, and I recommend you do as Might and Delight are making some excellent indie games.
Go Buy It!
