Please fix. »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2025 · 5 h played« game is way too easy and performance metrics aren't nearly as thorough as they need to be. needs/needed more playtesting and refinement, atm can't recommend »👎 anonymous review · Jan 2026 · 0 h played« Cool concept with decent gamefeel enhanced by some unique weapons that mix up platforming, unfortunately, while the level design has some glimmers of gold, for the most part it tends to fall flat and quickly overstays it's welcome. »👎 anonymous review · Oct 2026 · 3 h played« DeadToast does it again! This is a great game, with unique mechanics and a great soundtrack. I have the same thoughts on My Friend Pedro. I wish more people knew about them. »👍 anonymous review · Sep 2025 · 6 h played
