DeadToast Entertainment, the developer behind the acclaimed 'My Friend Pedro,' has announced its latest project, 'Shotgun Cop Man.' This upcoming precision platformer combines intense action with a unique movement mechanic, challenging players to navigate through hell to arrest Satan himself.

In 'Shotgun Cop Man,' players control a distinctively designed protagonist who uses firearms not only to combat enemies but also to traverse the environment. By firing a shotgun or handgun at the ground, the recoil propels the character into the air, allowing for dynamic and strategic movement through challenging levels filled with obstacles like buzzsaws and hostile demons.

The game features a minimalist art style, focusing on delivering a clear and engaging gameplay experience. DeadToast Entertainment emphasizes that this design choice reduces cognitive load, enabling players to concentrate on the fast-paced action and precise platforming.

'Shotgun Cop Man' is set to include approximately 150 levels in its main campaign, offering a substantial challenge for players. Additionally, the game will provide a built-in level editor with Steam Workshop integration, allowing users to create, share, and explore custom levels, thereby extending the game's replayability and fostering a creative community.

A demo featuring 17 levels is currently available on Steam, giving players an early opportunity to experience the game's mechanics and challenges. The full release is scheduled for later in 2025 on PC and Nintendo Switch, with a planned price point of $10.

For a visual preview of the game's distinctive style and gameplay, you can watch the official announcement trailer below.

This announcement has generated excitement among fans of 'My Friend Pedro,' who are eager to see how DeadToast Entertainment's innovative mechanics and distinctive humor translate into this new adventure.
