Defunct Games reviews Awesome Pea by Pigeon Dev, available March 1 on PlayStation 4, Switch, Xbox One and PS Vita.
While I wouldn't call it a monochromatic masterpiece, Awesome Pea is an enjoyable game at an attractive price. The thirty stages are mostly challenging, the gameplay is tight and there's enough variety in the level designs to keep things fresh, at least for a while. I also like the simple throwback graphics and the soundtrack. What I don't like it how repetitive the game gets and how all of the levels feel like they were sewn together at random. But aside from a few growing pains, Awesome Pea proves that Pigeon Dev knows how to make a good little platformer.
