Pipapo Games is a German indie studio that released its first title, Map Map - A Map-Making Game, on Steam on May 29. The game turns cartography into a puzzle experience, asking players to complete maps of islands using authentic surveying tools such as compasses, step counting, telescopes, and sextants. The core loop is built around measuring distances and recording landmarks, a methodical approach that sets it apart from typical exploration games.
In an interview, the studio's Laura cited GeoGuessr as the biggest influence on the game's core system, with the art style drawing from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The result is a nostalgic treasure-mapping experience that rewards careful observation and tool use rather than fast action. The game's early reception has been positive, with a 92% positive rating from 95 Steam user reviews, suggesting a small but engaged audience for methodical, tool-based exploration.
The launch was supported by a 10% discount running until June 12. As of the most recent coverage, Pipapo Games has not announced any further projects, and Map Map remains its only known release.
