WTMG's Aaron Price: "If you like Super Mario World, or precision platformers such as Celeste, then boy, have I got an absolute treat for you. Pepper Grinder is the kind of game you’ll instantly start to scream about from the rooftops. It’s got fast-paced action, its worlds are vibrant and diverse, and it’s got a banging soundtrack to top it off. Not to mention the fact I’ll always have a soft spot for anything that includes narwhals. Pepper Grinder is already one of my top contenders for my favourite game of the year, especially being a replayable-as-hell Switch banger I can pick and play for ten to fifteen minutes at a time while I’m sat on a bus or train."
Pepper Grinder is a solid action platformer with a unique feature that helps set it apart from the rest, despite some points that still feel quite generic.
The Outerhaven writes: Pepper Grinder boldly defines a short and sweet, pixelated adventure with a whole lot of punch in its short runtime.
This thumbnail is deceiving, because it made you think this games is on Xbox... but it's not.
Pepper and her giant grinder drill their way through an array of challenges in this brief but clever puzzle platformer.
