Pineapple: Interactive Prank Simulator Empowers Victims to Outwit Bullies

Imagine revenge tasting like your favorite fruit – pretty satisfying, right? That's the premise behind Patrones & Escondites' new game, Pineapple: A Bittersweet Revenge, a quirky interactive prank simulator launching September 26th on Android, iOS, and PC. While the Steam page is live, the Play Store listing isn't yet available for pre-loading. The game has already garnered recognition, winning awards for its compelling ludonarrative design.

What is Pineapple: A Bittersweet Revenge?

This isn't your average revenge fantasy. You play a teenager battling classic school bullies, the "Mean Girls," but instead of a typical showdown, you fight back with absurd, pineapple-fueled pranks! The gameplay involves strategically placing pineapples in unexpected locations – lockers, bags, anywhere the bullies least expect them – offering a blend of humor and clever strategy.

Beyond the laughs, the game prompts reflection on the fine line between seeking justice and becoming the very thing you're fighting against. For a lighter take, check out the developer's fun trailer:

Interestingly, the game's concept originated from a Reddit post. While the specific post remains undisclosed, you can find more details on the official Pineapple: A Bittersweet Revenge website.

The game's simple yet charming hand-drawn visuals and catchy soundtrack are particularly appealing, reminiscent of Dork Diaries. Whether the gameplay lives up to its art style and promising trailer remains to be seen.
