Restart your game and grab anything you missed to get your 1000. You shouldn’t have anything to mop up unless you missed any of those missable achievements. Once you’ve had your fill of single player, hop over to the co-op to pick up the co-op specific achievements (' You’re not helping' and ' Gotta go fast'). Pay special attention to the collectibles along the way and make sure to not miss any of the missable achievements (' Suprematism', ' Dancing machine', ' Right under your feet', and ' Collector') or you’ll need to start another whole playthrough. The couch co-op has you play as either Piku or Niku in a number of challenging levels where the goal is to get the best completion time possible.įor the most part, you’ll just want to play the adventure story mode while following this guide to make sure you don’t miss anything.

In the end Pikuniku does everything well, but doesn’t really shine in any department other than the writing. The writer’s make great use of modern pop and meme culture without oversaturing the game. The biggest strength of the game is the writing and delivery of very clever jokes that kept me laughing for almost the entire game. As a result I feel like the platforming elements of the game are far more forgiving to account for imprecise controls. Controls are imprecise, the physics feel slightly off, and the default button mapping is frustrating to deal with. The biggest problem I have with the game is clumsy I feel playing it. The result is a unique charming style that is easy to engage with despite the lack of overt cues, but ultimately the lack of challenge made it hard to stay engaged The music and sound effects too are kept to a munimum, used to punctuate key moments. Pikuniku is a very minimalist game with art constructed from very basic shapes that have simple concise animations and bright single-tone colours with no real textures.
