Pikifen is a fan-made Pikmin-based engine, built with flexibility in mind. It is a free and open-source engine/game, with gameplay very similar to the Pikmin games, in that leaders can whistle and throw Pikmin, Pikmin can carry objects, and so on. The idea is for fans to create their own content (enemies, areas, etc.), while the engine itself handles the game logic (like physics, scripting, and so on) as well as reading the game data to turn it all into something playable. That said, the project also comes with some base content, so players can experiment with its features right away.
