What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
"Pep-Pel" is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. This is an unfortunate Itchio reject... an amateur platformer with near-MSPaint tier "art", floaty weird and unsatisfying controls, and despite the friendly looking veneer, frustrating difficulty that's really hard to explain... was that intentional, or did the developer just do a really bad job on level design? And that's somewhat irrelevant, almost nobody played this. It was a huge flop. Let's get into why. In the modern era of high quality bleeding edge PC gaming, these kinds of flat, lazy, lackluster platformers just don't cut it. Platforming is a dead genre for a reason. Even though this is "free", it failed to attract any interest for gamers here on Steam Direct for obvious reasons. This looks a lot like it was designed for consoles, but released on Steam instead by mistake. While this is on PC, it has all the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, from the clunkier th…1 found this helpful
Originally a $12.99 game that went free. The platforming movement is far too slick and inconsistent. Everything about the game, except the music, feels thrown together with little to no point or purpose.1 found this helpful
Fun little game. It’s simple, easy to get into, and has that old-school arcade feel where you can just jump in and start playing.Just some simple fun.
Fun platformer, controls are pretty clunky but in the end it felt satisfying to get a handle on them Pretty buggy on occasion but it is what it is, overally was an enjoyable time
Haven't played too many momentum based platformers but think Pep-pel has a really beautiful art style and aesthetic for each world and the movement controls are so smooth. A good case of easy to learn hard to master controls. But definitely can dance the fine line of hair pulling frustration trying to collect everything haha. Definitely would recommend ^_^
Tons of fun. Great movement. The game suggests to play with a controller but keyboard works great. 10/10 Laptop game.
