With his trusty bucket in hand, Pitcher dives into action!
Take control of a young fox named Pitcher as he explores a mountain to find water sources, and bring buckets of water to a dehydrated whale. The mountain is host to dark caverns, mysterious stones, and all kinds of helpful and harmful animals. But nothing is impossible for Pitcher and his bucket!- Explore a 2D world by jumping, crawling, and dashing!
- Put PItcher's bucket in water to fill it up, and bring it to the whale!
- PItcher's bucket can also break certain rocks, stun enemies, and float on water!
- The whale slowly dries up as the sun begins to set, so be sure to keep bringing water back!
- There are gems hidden in the mountain that seem to help the whale somehow...
