Full version of The Pedestrian is available here
"I can see the signs in my sleep now, always guiding me closer. Will this really work? Have we almost achieved the impossible?”
This is an enjoyable puzzle game. I liked how the Demo introduced different mechanics as I progressed. Very neatly done. Now I'm gonna wishlist the full game. I definitely recommend this one. I wonder how long it is. Five or six hours will be perfect. I don't expect much replay value but that happens to most puzzle games, once they are figured out.
cute and fun to play
peaceful without any time pressure
The game mechanics were introduced very neatly.
It got gradually more difficult.
i enjoyed it.
So I'll buy it.
Be careful. This demo will grab you immediately! I bought the game the next day. Very clever and enjoyable (see for yourself for free.) It gets more and more difficult as you play on! Love it!
This is my review of the full game, which didn't post on the game's page.
‘The Pedestrian’ has a simple premise: get your person from Point A to Point B. Along the way, there are platforming puzzles to solve, involving toggling switches, moving boxes, retrieving keys, connecting/rearranging/reconfiguring signs to reach seemingly inaccessible places, and so on. To keep gameplay interesting, each level introduces a new mechanic, and the background shifts from one part of the city to another. These visual and experiential indications are effective in denoting progress.
Game difficulty increases gradually, making ‘The Pedestrian’ easy to learn and enjoy. It does become more challenging – at least for me anyway – in the second last level. I often just stepped away from the more difficult puzzles for a moment to clear my head, and would find or stumble upon the solutions later on. The game is great that it’s easy to pick up and quick to resume.
The only part of ‘The Pedestrian’ that didn’t work for me was the last level, which throws a pretty big wrench in the gameplay. The change in perspective is a neat idea on paper, but was too drastic and unexpected of a change for me. Plus, the unchangeable control scheme isn’t conducive to the new way of solving the puzzles – again, for me anyway. I’m sure there will be players who will enjoy the last level. In spite of my complaints, it wasn’t a deal breaker for me, and I could see its appeal.
If you love solving puzzles, you’ll love ‘The Pedestrian’. It’s a puzzle game with just enough frills to keep gameplay entertaining and captivating. Sadly, the game is hardly replayable. Upon completing it, you can’t select levels to retry specific puzzles; you’ll have the start from the beginning. It also lacks time challenge and speedrun features that you might expect from a puzzle game like this. It may be a game with basic features, but it’s also one with well-constructed puzzles and level designs that elevate it to the next level.
I can't say if the gameplay will get old, but I'm definitely buying the full version. To me, this is a very unique style of gameplay and overall style that I've not seen in other platformers. Super fun.
