Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is a 2025 platform-adventure game developed by Pocket Trap and published by PM Studios. It was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in May. The player takes on the role of Pippit, a member of the powerful Pipistrello family. After his aunt faces an attack by business rivals of the family, her soul is fragmented and trapped in mega-batteries to be used by their businesses. Pippit sets out with the last fragment in a cursed yoyo to recover the mega-batteries and reassemble her soul. The gameplay is reminiscent of Game Boy Advance games, notably from The Legend of Zelda.
Runs well on modern hardware.
