33bits | Jon Andoni Ortiz | 80 / 100 | 01-29-2020 | The Pedestrian is a competent puzzle game, perhaps a little short, but with a personality and intensity that you don’t normally see in this type of title.

Gameblog | Gianni Molinaro | 9 / 10 | 02-01-2020 | The Pedestrian is a wonderfully crafted puzzle game. As it shines visually and with its very pleasant soundtrack, it offers a simple but brilliant concept, with a great difficulty curve and new ideas that make it simply unique and absolutely lovely. | Read review |
GameMAG | Unknown | 7 / 10 | 02-08-2020 | The Pedestrian is a bright and addictive puzzle game with great music, but only when you play it in small sessions. This project will be perfect in a portable format when Skookum Arts finally releases it for iOS and Nintendo Switch. | Read review |

Hardcore Gamer | Jordan Helm | 4 / 5 stars | 02-19-2020 | Even with its unfortunate dip in visual quality from time to time, that aside, a lot of the points held against Skookum Arts can be admittedly put down to personal aspirations not met, rather than some fundamental flaw the game is undeniably guilty of. | Read review |
Paste Magazine | Holly Green | 8 / 10 | 02-10-2020 | Ultimately, it delivers exactly what I desire from games in its genre: a brain busting experience that challenges the limits of my creative problem solving skills without exhausting them. | Read review |
PC Gamer | Phil Iwaniuk | 75 / 100 | 02-10-2020 | Novel presentation and a masterful complexity curve, but The Pedestrian’s very shy about storytelling. | Read review |
PC Invasion | Unknown | 9 / 10 | 01-29-2020 | The Pedestrian is visually, audibly, and almost completely mechanically sound. Be warned, though, there isn’t much in terms of hints along the way. But in the end, you’ll be surprised at how far you can make it with drive and a little brainpower. | Read review |
pressakey.com | Tim Bissinger | Recommended | 02-06-2020 | The Pedestrian is a highly creative, well-balanced and pleasantly challenging odyssey through the sign forest of a big city | Read review |
Rock, Paper, Shotgun | Alice Bell | Recommended | 02-10-2020 | The Pedestrian is surprising and astonishing and delighting, it’s true. But for about the first hour and the last. | Read review |
VGChartz | Daniel Carreras | 7 / 10 | 02-13-2020 | A unique and charming puzzle game, The Pedestrian may not break any boundaries in the genre, but its charming gameplay and unique aesthetic elevates it against its rivals. | Read review |
We Got This Covered | Jordan Hurst | 3.5 / 5 stars | 02-10-2020 | There’s more to The Pedestrian than meets the eye, but its best parts are the simple, obvious pleasures it offers. | Read review |
Game Info
The Pedestrian is a 2.5D puzzle platformer that takes “puzzle platforming” literally. You play as The Pedestrian (aka the male bathroom symbol) who works in a restroom sign standing beside his Beloved (the female symbol). When she disappears, you must escape your day job and embark on a perilous journey where you progress by piecing the “sign world” back together in search of the one you love.
