https://www.pcgamer.com/my-friend-pedro-sells-almost-500000-copies-now-has-more-modes/
"Aw, that's cute" is not something I thought I'd say about My Friend Pedro but here we are. The slow-motion murder platformer extravaganza now has a 'tiny player mode' and it's properly adorable.

There's also an option to hide the HUD and a timer for speedrunners.
According to publisher Devolver Digital's blog post announcing Code Yellow "nearly half a million folks" have bought My Friend Pedro. I can see why—it's a hyper replayable score-attack kill-em-up with a goofy theme, and I had a blast playing it.
