When the original Pedro launched, this mechanic was what made it stand out from the saturated market of Flash shooters. According to Ågren, “The idea was to make the player feel like a puppeteer in control of the movement of the playable character, rather than having the player just press a button to watch a cool looking animation.” This mechanic may seem ostensibly and exclusively aesthetic, but its primary purpose is to serve a performative function. “The 'secret spice' of My Friend Pedro was discovered in the Flash version of the game, which is the flipping-through-the-air-in-slow-motion-mechanic.” “Most things in the game grew very organically and it was all about discovering as I went along,” Ågren explains.

Recently, however, My Friend Pedro received a massive overhaul, to the extent that an entirely new set of systems and mechanics were assimilated into its makeup. Developed by one-man studio DeadToast, this Matrix-esque amalgamation of bullets and bedlam quickly cemented itself as a cult classic, but was unfortunately lost in the bygone era of browser games.
