ENG: Pep-Pel is a platformer with a lot of personality and variety, each world/level presents different challenges, mechanics that differ from the previous ones. Gameplay is fast and the curved surfaces give that "Sonic" feel, while the high difficulty and consecutive deaths with quick respawns remind what it was experienced in Celeste. Finally on the technical side there are some rough edges like the spike/surface collisions that kill you, but not so much as to tarnish the gameplay experience. I recommend it, [strike] also it has a free demo if you are not convinced.

I love this game, it's a very addicting and fun to play platformer. For anyone considering picking it up, know that it is very difficult. The later levels demand a very high level of control over your character to do very precise maneuvers (hallmark of a good platformer), and the controls and physics of the game do take a bit of time to get used to. Pep-Pel suffers some of the same problems a game like Sonic the Hedgehog where sometimes directing the character can be confusing when wall running or moving very quickly. That said, while your move set is modest, you'll find a lot of depth in it as you play and progress through the harder stages. I do have some gripes with the game however, mostly relating to the level design. In most levels, the game rewards you pretty heavily for understanding the mechanics and knowing the layout. You can really build a lot of speed and fly through levels and it feels great every time. However, there are times where the pacing will grind down to a halt ...
ATTENTION: I can confirm this game works perfectly on Steam Deck, so you can finally have Pep-Pel right in the palms of your hands. I love to watch this little goblin wizard zooming and zipping around! I especially like the underwater mansion level, the transition between the controls is super tight and she swims so fast. Also this game has a lot of costumes which is really my only measure of quality for any game I ever play.
It's true! Pep-Pel really IS Swell! I've been following the development for a good while, and it's really cool to see how far it's come. The game itself is really enjoyable, I like dashing and jumping and quickly comboing into another dash to gain some wicked speed. Considering this whole game was made by one person is also just amazing, with the exception of some cool voice acting and very catchy music. Other than that, every art asset and every animation, all the coding, done by one person, and she's done an amazing job. I'm excited to play more, and speed run some of the levels to get some top times!
Good Game. If you know what you are doing you can go really fast. I dont know what im doing
I followed the development of this game on YouTube all while thinking this was supposed to be like Rayman: Origins/Legends. The demo even supports that theory. The demo level is pretty straight-forward and has a good level of challenge without going overboard on the difficulty. But it's more like Super Meat Boy. It's a rage game with checkpoints slightly too far back, so it wastes hours of your life while you try to beat one section of the level. The complaint I had about this game before the full version was released is still true. The movement is too floaty and slippery. You can't cancel a hover and changing directions mid-air takes FOREVER so most of the time you're just forced to float into the spikes that are *everywhere*. Some sections are so inconsistent due to the unpredictability of the movement and the tight spacing of the spikes that it takes hours just to complete one section, with zero reproducibility. I was mainly anticipating this game's release for the excellent art st...
Pep-Pel is a fun fast paced momentum platformer, it has plenty of unique gameplay mechanics that feel satisfying and ful to use. The levels are long and fun to explore and the art is neat!
game is fun and each level has alot of collectables to unlock, some are in difficult areas meaning you have to replay to find them all each level has its own gimmick and mechanic which makes them all unique and the art stlye is painted and looks nice :3 game runs well on my mums laptop and is pretty cheap for how long the game is
Pel-Pel is a platformer with a lot of charm, difficulty and a huge skill ceiling. My first attempt at the first level took me half an hour to finish. Then I put on my gamer pants, changed my binding to control with the d-pad and finished in 8 minutes the same level. It is DIFFICULT. but if you're willing to learn all the in-and-out of the controls, you'll have a really great sense of flow and it'll feel really satisfying to chain inputs to go hella fast through the level. The game allows you to save mid-level and go back to the level at the exact checkpoint you were struggling with. It is a pretty nice option, given how tough levels are. Overall I'm not done yet, but based on what I've played I'd recommend if you like REALLY hard platformers and momemtum based movements. There's 8 levels, then a sort of Dark Side/Side B/Chase where you have your shadow catching up to you while you fumble your way through the level. Excited to see Streamer fail at that, I'll stay away from it...
Very fun & refined gameplay. I admittedly suck at a lot of the platforming but it's very satisfying to master it the further you play. Would absolutely recommend!
