Pimglins — Support

A pixel-terrain puzzle game. Pimglins pour out of the portal and march on their own — you don't control them. You carve the ground they cross, and every cut is permanent.

Common questions

How do I play?

Drag to dig through the terrain and build to plug it. The pimglins walk, turn and fall on their own; your job is to shape a route that carries enough of them to the exit.

They keep dying at the bottom of my tunnel

A long drop is fatal. Dig slanted stairs rather than a straight shaft down — where you place a dig matters as much as where you dig to.

Sand poured in and buried my tunnel

That is the game working as intended. Materials have their own behaviour: sand falls and pours, so cutting under a buried pocket floods the passage below it. Look at what sits above a cut before you make it.

What about water and lava?

Wading through shallow water is always safe, but a pimglin whose head stays under will drown. Lava kills on contact — though water and lava do not get along, which is often the answer rather than the problem.

Can I undo a dig?

No. Every action leaves a permanent mark on the world — the finished level is the record of how you solved it. If a level becomes unwinnable, restart it and try a different route; nothing is lost but the attempt.

My progress disappeared

Progress is saved only on your device, so deleting the app deletes its save. There are no accounts and no cloud backup.

Do I need an internet connection?

No. Pimglins plays fully offline and never connects to the internet.

Are there ads or in-app purchases?

Neither. The game has no ads, no in-app purchases and no subscriptions.
