SXO: Awesome Pea is an ambitious attempt at capturing the enjoyable frustration that the platformer genre can offer to the world of gaming.
Frankly, this is Pea’s greatest fault — there’s nothing inherently special about the platforming, so if it plans to lean heavily on visual nostalgia, it needs to do it well.
In the end, if you are just looking for a no-thrills platforming game, Awesome Pea may just be for you. Granted, it’s pretty short, but the price point is right and the controls and difficulty are on par.
