    Looks absolutely mad, so it's no surprise that Devolver Digital is publishing. My Friend Pedro is from DeadToast Entertainment and is out today on PC and Switch.

    It is "is a 2D sidescrolling action game about a guy in a gimp mask who commits mass murder because a banana tells him to" (thanks PC Gamer). The game features an automated GIF generator, so expect to see plenty from it on social platforms in the coming days.

    A nonsensical launch trailer :D

    Will definitely be investing in this later (assuming my laptop can run it - kinda wish there was a PS4 option)!

    Been looking forward to the full version of this for years, it's going straight to the top of the play list.

    Here's some recent gameplay footage in case folks haven't seen the game in action yet...

    Was hoping to have a quick game before work on Switch, but it hadn't been unlocked yet. Developer tweeted to say 7am ET, so around 2pm here I think.

    Eager to see how the controls work, looks like it could be tricky but hopefully should be a lot of fun!

    Is this definitely a Switch exclusive? If so, hopefully timed because I really want to play this. Looks amazing!

    Might have to fire up the old PC to get this so. It is ticking all the right boxes! Launch trailer makes me want an anime of it!

    Any chance this will come to ps4 down the line? I have a Microsoft surface that would struggle to run this. No budget to upgrade to a decent pc and no intention of buying a switch to play it.

    so basically this is a short platform run-and-gun game with a zany premise aimed at people who are obsessive about improving their times on levels.

    Just finished this. Great fun while it lasts, but it's super short, two sittings would see you to the end. Can't really see myself going for high scores, as that's not my thing. Good game overall!
