Your spaceship has crashed on a mysterious planet packed full of curious creatures, and you’ll need to suck up as many of them as possible to absorb and use as fuel for your jetpack.
Pyme’s Genocide has you playing as Pyme, the plucky, pink-haired, pig-tailed protagonist and observe the chaos of this planet. Think of yourself as an opportunistic exterminator as you explore and look for living fuel to vacuum up. Besides, these oddball ALFs are jubilant, even if you suck them up and sacrifice them for fuel. Also, if one gives you a dirty look, you can also shoot them out of your hoover for vengeance. Or for fun. Dealer’s choice.
However you deal with these newfound friends, you’ll have a bigger issue of trying to find four pieces that are critical in the repair of your ship. Players will have to master some tricky jumps with the help of spring-loaded platforms along with timing their jetpack (and making sure it’s full of little fellas to spew out to get some major air). Some pieces may require some extra effort, but you’ll get to shoot critters at crystals, which is oddly satisfying.
Pyme’s Genocide is available for free on Itch.io.
