Awesome Pea 3 PS5 is the closing chapter of a small, stubborn pixel-art series about a greedy green pea who wants gold and will die a great many times trying to get it. Developed by Pigeon Dev Games and published by Sometimes You, it swaps the earlier games’ leisurely dungeon crawling for something sharper: a precision platformer built around 69 short, lethal stages.

Where the Series Ended Up
The first Awesome Pea arrived in 2018 as a simple retro platformer with a deliberate Game Boy look. The second added more dungeons, traps and coins. This third and final entry changes the genre underneath the same character: instead of exploring, you are now clearing tightly designed single-screen challenges as fast and cleanly as you can.
That shift is the reason the third game reviews better than its predecessors. It stopped trying to be a long adventure and became a focused arcade product instead, which suits the pixel presentation far better.
Awesome Pea 3 PS5: Run, Jump, Die, Repeat
Each of the 69 stages fits on one screen and can be finished in seconds — once you know it. Getting there means dying repeatedly to saw blades, spikes, moving platforms and gaps that demand exact timing. Death costs you nothing but a restart, and restarts are instant, so the loop stays addictive rather than punishing.
Wall climbing is the one mechanic that reliably frustrates people, and it is worth knowing about going in. Reviewers consistently flagged it as the game’s rough edge. Everything else — jump arc, momentum, hit detection — is tight enough that failures feel like your fault, which is the whole point of the genre.
Green Pixels and Chiptune
The visual identity is a monochrome green palette lifted straight from a 1989 handheld, sharpened up for a modern display. The soundtrack is pure chiptune. Neither is trying to be ironic about it; the series has looked and sounded this way since 2018 and this entry simply does it more cleanly.
On PlayStation 5 the whole thing runs instantly with no loading between attempts, which matters enormously in a game where you will restart a stage forty times.
How Hard Is It, Honestly
Challenging but fair, and short. Most players clear the full set of stages in around two hours. That is not a criticism — this is a compact arcade title, priced and designed accordingly, and it is one of the better palate cleansers to keep on a console between long games.
You can find the physical PlayStation 5 edition details on the Red Art Games official product page.
Who This Is For
Players who enjoyed Super Meat Boy, Celeste or N++ will recognise the rhythm immediately. It is also a reasonable entry point for someone curious about precision platformers but unwilling to commit to a long campaign, since the stages teach you their own rules quickly.

FAQ – Awesome Pea 3 PS5
Do I need to play the first two games?
No. There is no story to follow and the third game plays quite differently anyway. It stands entirely on its own.
How long is it?
Roughly two hours to clear all 69 stages, more if you chase clean runs. It is a short, focused game rather than a long campaign.
Is it too hard for casual players?
It is demanding, but the stages are short and restarts are instant, so progress comes steadily. Patience matters more than reflex mastery.
Does it have trophies?
Yes, and the trophy list is widely considered straightforward to complete for players who finish the game, which is part of its appeal for collectors.
Is there any multiplayer?
No. It is single-player only, built entirely around solo stage clearing and personal improvement.
Does Totot deliver across the UAE?
Yes. We ship nationwide via Aramex for a fixed AED 10, with cash on delivery, Tabby and Tamara available at checkout.
