What is Pickle Pete?

You play a gun-wielding pickle in a top-down, single-player arena shooter, trying to save a world consumed by darkness. Runs take you through forests, wastelands, and ruins, where you fight enemy waves and bosses, combine weapons and abilities, and dodge attacks. Between runs, you unlock weapons and permanent upgrades.

For you if...

+you enjoy straightforward arena combat in the vein of Brotato

Not for you if...

−you want cooperative play rather than a solo shooter
−you prefer starting fresh without permanent upgrades between runs
