REVIEW
Stickman Ninja Bullet Master borrows a famous premise and runs with it.
A free 37-level stickman shooter that opens by name-dropping My Friend Pedro and proceeds to flip, fire, and never update again.

The App Store listing for Stickman Ninja Bullet Master opens with the words “My Friend Pedro is back, in a brand new mobile adventure of blood, bullets.” This is news to DeadToast Entertainment, the studio that actually made My Friend Pedro, and to Devolver Digital, which publishes it. Mohammad Zaid, the solo developer credited on this app, is not affiliated with either.
That sets the tone. What you get for free is a 37-level stickman side-scroller in the diving, slow-mo, dual-pistol register of its inspiration, shipped in November 2021 and untouched since the next day. One rating on the store. No release notes since launch. The kind of listing that survives by being too small to matter.
It is not nothing. Free is free, and 37 hand-built levels is more than a lot of one-person mobile shooters bother with. But the honest read is that this is a clone wearing someone else’s name in its first sentence, and the right move is to know that before you tap install.
The App Store listing opens with the words My Friend Pedro is back, which is news to DeadToast Entertainment.
FEATURES
The pitch is a side-scrolling stickman shooter across 37 levels. You move on foot, flip in slow motion, and fire bullets at other stick figures. The marketing copy invokes My Friend Pedro — the DeadToast / Devolver Digital cult hit from 2019 — and the mechanics are clearly trying to ape that game's slow-mo dive-and-shoot rhythm.
The build is small and dated. Version 1.0 shipped on November 24, 2021, and the listing has not seen a single update since the next day. The download is about 190 MB. The app supports iPhone and iPad back to the iPhone 5s and runs through to the current iPhone generation, which is rare for an indie title and reflects how little has been touched since launch. Apple's content rating is 17+ for frequent mature themes and infrequent cartoon violence.
There are no in-app purchases listed and the game is free. Game Center is enabled. The screenshots show a monochrome stickman silhouetted against red, mid-flip, with a pistol in each hand.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
For a free download with zero ad-supported flags and no IAP tier, the offer is at least clean: install, play, uninstall. There is no subscription trap and no obvious paywall gating the levels.
Thirty-seven hand-built levels is also more than most one-developer mobile shooters bother to ship. If the gunplay survives even a fraction of the inspiration, that is a genuine afternoon of play for nothing.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
The headline problem is the framing. Stickman Ninja Bullet Master opens its own App Store description with "My Friend Pedro is back" — a claim it has no right to make. My Friend Pedro is owned by DeadToast Entertainment and published by Devolver Digital. This app is by a solo developer named Mohammad Zaid. Calling your unrelated stickman shooter a sequel to someone else's IP is the kind of move that gets a listing pulled, and the fact that it has survived four-and-a-half years on the store says more about App Review's bandwidth than the app's legitimacy.
Beyond the framing, the signals are thin. One total user rating. No description of controls, weapons, scoring, or what distinguishes the levels from one another. No release notes, no updates, no developer site that App Comrade could verify. The 17+ rating for "Frequent/Intense Mature/Suggestive Themes" on what looks like a cartoon-violence shooter is at minimum a question worth asking.
CONCLUSION
Stickman Ninja Bullet Master is a free, dated, IP-borrowing curiosity. Install it if you want to see what a 2021 solo-dev attempt at the My Friend Pedro formula looks like with no marketing budget and one rating. Pay actual money for actual My Friend Pedro — also on the App Store, also from the studio that made it — if you want the real thing.
