I liked what I saw and was an easy addition to my wishlist. With Steam Next Fest coming very soon, developer&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ahr_Ech\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ahr Ech<\/a>&nbsp;is releasing a new demo for everyone to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Pepper Grinder Demo Redux<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not a lot has changed from my&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/roundtablecoop.com\/reviews\/pepper-grinder-demo-manoeuvrable-minerals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">review of the demo<\/a>. To quickly recap, Pepper is a pirate. Pepper finds Grinder. Pepper uses grinder to dive into semi-solid materials, collecting gems, solving puzzles, and getting through levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a lot of fun learning how to manoeuvre through the sand-like earth. Things move quickly as Pepper builds momentum to make jumps and avoid obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/roundtablecoop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/PepperGrinder_01-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Pepper Grinder Pose\" class=\"wp-image-8300\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Those things were in the demo I previously played. What has been added is a shop, a time attack mode, and a sticker book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pepper Grinder\u2019s time attack is a challenge mode to test a player\u2019s skill in quickly moving through a level. There are three par times to beat, which each unlocking a reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shop is a fun way to spend all the crystals I\u2019d been collecting through levels. Players can now purchase stickers and extra health to help them through levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the new Pepper Grinder demo has a sticker book. Finishing a level obtains players a background. These can be used to attach stickers bought from the shop. The backgrounds can be modified slightly with different colours and styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/roundtablecoop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/PepperGrinder_08-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8301\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where To Find<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest Pepper Grinder demo will be available during&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/sale\/nextfest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam Next Fest<\/a>, running from the 5<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;to the 12<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;of February.
