Captain Olimar has crashed on an unknown planet inhabited by Pikmin!

And his first 2D platformer will give you a new perspective on his adorably fierce partners. Touch the screen to throw Pikmin into action: swim with Blue Pikmin, fly with Winged Pikmin, and more to survive hostile wildlife, solve ecological puzzles, and escape!

  • Help Captain Olimar explore and escape a new world by guiding him and his Pikmin with the stylus
  • Olimar is a half-pint Hero on a personal mission to save himself
  • Get a new perspective on the powers and personalities of Pikmin
  • Tap the touchscreen to choose Pikmin and toss them at objects or enemies

Gameplay

The game is a 2D side-scrolling action game in which players control Captain Olimar with a squad of Pikmin. Action primarily happens on the touch screen, and players can tap on the screen to throw Pikmin to that location. Like in the Pikmin games, Pikmin will carry and push objects to solve puzzles, find collectables, and attack creatures. The various Pikmin types (red, blue, and yellow) also retain their strengths and weaknesses from the main titles.

On the top screen is the HUD, which shows collectables, and Olimar's health bar. On the bottom screen is the whistle button, which acts like the whistle in the Pikmin games.[2]

This game does not support stereoscopic 3D.
