- Oh snap! Here we go again! - 21 February 2025
Oh snap, here we go again! It’s getting close to 6 years (!!) since the launch of My Friend Pedro: Blood Bullets Bananas. Bananas, indeed! Since then I’ve released the mobile version of My Friend Pedro (subtitled Ripe for Revenge) and experimented with a handful of prototypes of varying potential. But it wasn’t until about two and a half years ago I stumbled on to the seed that would blossom into Shotgun Cop Man, a precision platformer where your weapons are your wings. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2966850/Shotgun_Cop_Man/ The idea of using a shotgun to propel yourself across the levels really resonated with me because of its simplicity close to the core of the design of the game. It felt like anything I’d build around that hook would be interesting not only for me to explore, but for players to experience too. I quickly found myself getting stuck playing longer than I intended wh…

- Fall Guys might be getting Portal and My Friend Pedro skins - 17 August 2020
The skins in Fall Guys are excellent. Mediatonic’s Total Wipeout-like battle royale will let you wobble round its obstacle courses dressed as all manner of silly things – from cacti and hotdogs, to Half-Life’s Gordon Freeman and Team Fortress 2’s Scout . Now a leak claims that more cutesy crossover outfits are on the way, ones that will let you dress up as Pedro (the banana) from My Friend Pedro, and Chell (the human) from Portal. (more…)

- My Friend Pedro sells almost 500,000 copies, now has more modes - 18 October 2019
"Aw, that's cute" is not something I thought I'd say about My Friend Pedro but here we are. The slow-motion murder platformer extravaganza now has a 'tiny player mode' and it's properly adorable. This comes as part of the Code Yellow update, which adds 14 modifiers to the skateboard shoot-a-thon including cinematic camera mode, big head mode, adjustable focus speed, and adjustable player speed. There's also an option to hide the HUD and a timer for speedrunners.  According to publisher Devolver Digital's blog post announcing Code Yellow "nearly half a million folks" have bought My Friend Pedro. I can see why—it's a hyper replayable score-attack kill-em-up with a goofy theme, and I had a blast playing it . The update coincides with a discount of 30% on Steam , which will last over the weekend.

- My Friend Pedro sold 250,000 copies in its first week - 30 June 2019
My Friend Pedro, a 2D bullet-time score-attack action-platformer, is almost entirely the work of one developer: Victor Ågren, aka DeadToast Entertainment. Publisher Devolver Digital recently announced that his game sold 250,000 units in its first week (across both PC and Switch), so Victor's probably pretty happy about that. To celebrate, Devolver have put together a charming video about Victor and the four-and-a-half year journey of My Friend Pedro, which began as a Flash game made for a student project, was put on the backburner when Victor got a job at MediaMolecule, and finally came out this year.  Watch the whole thing embedded above. Among the nuggets of information the interview reveals is that Pedro, the player's mentor, was almost a flying gnome, "but bananas are easier to animate" as Victor explains.

- Valve sorry for Steam Summer Sale event which led users to remove games from wishlists - 28 June 2019
Last night, indie developers and publishers were up in arms at Valve's complicated and poorly-explained Steam Summer Sale Grand Prix event, which erroneously encouraged customers to delete games from their Steam wishlists. Valve's Grand Prix is a kind of store-based mini-game where customers can win stuff from their wishlist. When entering, Valve encouraged users to take a look at their wishlists and ensure the games they wanted to win were in there. But the mechanics for which games people might win were not well explained. Assuming it would be a random game from their wishlist, people taking part went in and pruned their listings to favour games they'd save the most money getting free - AAA games - which meant clearing out any indie games they may have had their eye on.

- My Friend Pedro review - 24 June 2019
The gamers running at me have swords, because all gamers own swords, I guess. They also have Monty Python Dark Souls cosplay armor, but it can't save them from the shotgun blasts that reduce them to lumps at my feet. I'm out of ammo before I'm out of gamers, the last one charging with sword held high. But any object you kick is a one-shot kill in this game, and dead gamer lumps are kickable objects. There are more impressive gun-fu stunts in My Friend Pedro than breaking somebody's neck by kicking their dead friend's torso at them, but this moment of improvisation is typical of what happens between gif-able highlights. Once or twice per level I'll do something like skateboard through a window and then kick that skateboard at someone while shooting someone else, or I'll throw a frying pan into the air and then ricochet bullets off it to clear a roo…
- Steam Charts: Meaningful Effluence Edition - 24 June 2019
Hello friendly people! Welcome to the always-lovely, always-cheerful soft-play-of-fun-and-hyphens that is Steam Charts! Today we’re going to laugh together, learn together, and maybe, just maybe, if we’re lucky, laugh and learn a little.

- Wot I Think: My Friend Pedro - 21 June 2019
Developer: DeadToast Entertainment Publisher: Devolver Digital Release: Out now On: Windows From: Steam , GOG , Humble For: 15.50, $17, 14.27 My Friend Pedro looks incredible in animated GIFs. That’s how I first encountered it, via a short clip which showed a man in a mask, hanging upside down from a zipline while he fired twin pistols in opposite directions. Now that I’ve played this run-and-gun platformer for myself I can confirm that this is one of many spectacular moves it allows you to smoothly and frequently execute. I can also confirm that these moves don’t feel as good to perform as they look in motion, and that the game fails to support or develop its moveset in interesting ways. (more…)
- My Friend Pedro kickflips into stores with a swanky cartoon trailer - 20 June 2019
Gun-fu platformer My Friend Pedro is out now, letting players stunt off a skateboard while ricocheting bullets off a flying frying pan, all at the behest of a talking banana named Pedro. Unsurprisingly snapped up by Devolver Digital, this has been a slow-burn passion project for solo developer Victor gren, operating under the studio name DeadToast Entertainment. Originally a flash-based browser game, it has evolved into an increasingly impressive animated GIF generator that’s also a bit like a 2D Max Payne. Below, a short but excellently animated launch trailer. (more…)
