1) There's a fine line between being a difficulty landslide and being easy there's no tension going on for my tastes and pizza tower stands proudly on it like a pizza tower would do.

2) The multiples characters representing both the reality and the fantasy of the restaurant industry may be a subtle detail but it makes them slightly more important than they appear.

3) While Sonic plays with curved lines and smooth action, Peppino shows a neurotic and ratcheted vision of momentum, every move done correctly feels like a real life trick more than mere inputs on a controller, you become Peppino.

4) Bosses are more than mere koopalings, they look more absurd and imaginary than them but they are driven in conscioussness

5) I hate those stupid flying ladders in the mort the chicken level, this level sucks

When Pizza Tower is at it's best, or rather, when my enjoyment of it was at its peak, it soars above contemporary and past platformers with a charm and energy that rivals anything the big developers have ever made. The visuals are gorgeous, every sprite, animation and character design is without flaw. They start out with an impossibly high standard and somehow only get more and more creative as the game progresses. The music isn't far behind, it's full of life and chaos, capable of both blending into the background and vibrating in your face when it's time to run. And the movement, oh baby, it's so buttery smooth and cohesive. During the last few levels I had more fun than I've ever had in a platformer.

However. Pizza Tower is not a game that gives up its smoothness without a fight. It requires a level of speed and reflex only possible with training, and it takes a while, maybe 5-6 levels, before I reached a point where I didn't have to wrestle every bit of fun out of the levels. The visuals, for all their zany glory, make everything a little hard to keep track of at first, and the often unassuming enemies dotted around can mess one up a LOT. This is part of the learning process though, and with every level the game feels a little kinder, your eyes and fingers catch up to Peppino's speed, slowly but surely. Towartds the end of floor 2 the game clicked for real, and from there it's pure joy.

I cannot stress enough how creative and joyful this game is. Just thinking about the ways the enemies move, or Peppino's facial expressions, or how that one level is just called 'Oh Shit', makes my heart race again and yearn for more. For the tragic thing about this game is that it's short. Very short. And given how steep the curve for enjoying the game is, it's hard not to end a playthrough without feeling like there should be more, like you're just cut off in the middle of the best part. Sure, there might be plenty of replay value in grinding each level for the highest rank, but for someone like me who doesn't find enjoyment in that, there's little more to do. I wish there was more, I would gladly have played this for twice, thrice as long. I wish I could love it fully, but there's just not enough of it to fully fill my heart.

Pizza Tower is a very unique and charming experience. The gameplay is fun, fast, and gripping, the soundtrack shreds, and the artwork is somehow both intentionally awful and subtly stunning at the same time.

I feel like "spiritual successor" games are often lacking in the quality, creativity, and understanding of game design concepts that made the original as good as it was. Pizza Tower is a clear exception, and is non-stop excellent all the way through.

Just like Wario Land 4, however, the game is short. That's my only complaint. As long as you're OK with that, it's an easy recommendation from me for anyone who thinks they might enjoy it.

This is a great platforming game, imagine what if wario land 4 and sonic had a baby. That`s Pizza tower. You have all the moves from the start. three-grade dash, wall run, wall jump, grab&throw, shine spark... you name it. In addition, All stage have each gimmick moves, but nothing is annoying. And the escape sequence is a fantastic idea (from wario world 4), and this idea was executed very well.

It is that good ... except for the final battle. Each "stage boss battle" is not bad imo, Because usually this is just a nice pace breaker. But when it comes to the final battle, You would not use your crazy fast move. You will just wait and catch again and again and again. That`s the minus half star for me. Anything else?

It`s delicious.

i was told this game was like warioland

it isnt, but its more like sonic rush

still pretty decent

I mean this is just a modern classic, isn't it?

If you ever want proof of how and why indie games are the best in the business, then Pizza Tower is an immaculate example of that principle. It is so rare to find a game as excellent in all aspects as this one, the music, the presentation, the gameplay, it's pure, ultra-condensed, high-quality fun through and through. Pizza Tower is a game that is clearly a work of unadulterated passion and inspiration, and it's sure to be a game that has the same effect on developers in the future.

I don't like calling anything perfect, especially video games. And while I'm not saying that Pizza Tower is perfect...it's really damn close.

Please consider buying this game. Give your money to the projects like this, small games that can use all the help they can get, because it certainly deserves it.

Начну с того, что игра очень крутая. Прекрасный визуальный стиль, драйвовая музыка, почти каждый уровень - это новая уникальная механика. Но последний мир перечеркнул для меня все плюсы. Тут всего 3 вроня, но каждый из них просто раздражает. Как будто сложность игры выросла в разы для последнего этажа. Но если до этого ты мог пройти любой этап до конца хотя бы с минимумом очков, то в конце разработчики придумали великолепный уровень на время. Чуть-чуть не успел, начинай сначала. В итоге, после прохождения финальных уровней, мне просто не хватило валюты, чтобы открыть финального босса. 10 из 10. Сделал для себя вывод, что тогда нужно попытаться пройти что-то еще раз, только лучше. Но когда я начал собирать все подряд, мне просто не хватало времени, чтобы дойти до конца. В итоге, после попыток 8 перестал пытаться, так и не увидев финального босса игры.

Really great 2D platformer, possibly one of the best ever, Honestly just have a lot of fun running laps around tracks with mods that let you do infinite laps, and normally I don't like going away from the linear path to just beating the game, it's just too addicting to see how fast you can race across an entire level.

Don't like the bosses though, not one bit, and there's a lot of content cut from the beta versions of the game I wish were in the final one, or at the very least accessible as an extra or a DLC with the old versions in it.

No workshop support is kind of a bummer, but the game is light enough to make modding easy, and these days Gamebanana has plenty of tools to make modding easy (though their site layout is still a bit bad) and I've heard rumors of an official level editor, so no huge deal.
