Awesome Pea

Greedy Pea embarks on a coin-collecting sprint through 25 compact stages, each designed for repeated attempts rather than extended exploration. The Game Boy-inspired green palette and chiptune soundtrack establish an immediate retro identity, while the core loop of dodging hazards and gathering collectibles delivers tight, replayable challenges across themed worlds. Every level pairs a distinct hazard layout with bite-sized spacing, encouraging another go rather than punishment for failure. Coins and diamonds serve as both score targets and navigation markers, guiding movement toward optional secrets. Themed worlds shift between forests, caves, castles, and trains, maintaining visual variety within the constrained colour scheme. Pursuing full completion transforms casual platforming into a precision test. Collecting every coin and gem in a level demands tighter routing and more deliberate timing, raising the difficulty ceiling considerably. Bubble hazards, however, prove especially aggravating: their hitboxes feel oversized and unpredictable, creating deaths that feel arbitrary rather than earned. The double jump mechanic is central but carries a critical limitation: it on…

Short, simple and unfortunatelly flawed game about a pea that jumps on platforms, collects coins and diamonds. First good points: + Art style is nice, crt filters are nice touch. + Soundtrack is there, nothing to sing about but it's working, couple simple melodies on loop. + It's short and achievements are easy. And the cons: - Awfully stiff controls, especially on jump. - On train levels the moving background breaks. It is supposed to imitate movement of the train but suddenly trees stops, then skybox. Weird. - There is 25 levels but only like 5 background variations. - There are minor bugs regarding placement of the safe spots, character sometimes sink through spots that supposed to be solid. If it was normally for one dollar, that's fine price for simple 2 hour no brainer. But regular price in my region is 6 usd and yeah, it ain't worth it sadly. I bought it from external store or got it in some bundle, art style caught my eye, I waited years to play it and I'm a bit disappointed.

A fairly challenging old-school precision platformer game. The level design was great throughout, and I loved the graphical style.

Nice gimmicky game that goes on huge sales often. The normal price is a bit high but getting an 80% or so discount is common.

Simple and charming platformer that sadly is held back by control issues and some level design. Levels were either very simple or very difficult with little to no in-between. The levels where orbs come up from the ground as you try to navigate downwards were especially painful. Even with all this in mind, I enjoyed most of my time with Awesome Pea and therefore give it a hesitant thumbs up.

Took 2 and a half hours to finish 100%. Soundtrack slaps. Reminds me of The Messenger. Fun. Unsure why I can't do the second jump if I fall without jumping first, but whatever. Will check out the second one. Thank you.
