My blood and bones comes from the country shaped like a boot, so this games speaks to my soul on a personal level.

First off, this game is not an accurate representation of Italy as a whole: there is not enough pasta in this game compared to Pizza, and also.... nah that's about it.

But Peppino is the best italian rep in gaming: a man that sruggles with debt and finances, and can easily see its career ended in a seconds thanks to clowns that stands above him, so he screams a lot and turns into an Courage the Cowardly Dog character to stand out....... totally relatable ngl.

Pizza Tower is amazing. The idea of a Wario Land spiritual successor with a, incredible artstyle is already a perfect concept, but they you add incredible level design, an atmosphere that combines cartoony hijinks with striaght up horror, and a speed and adrenaline inducing movement that cna compete with the best Sonic titles.
To this you add a sprinkle os spice, with the incredible bosses and especially the amazingly spicy ending, to create one of the best meals in the Indie-games menu.

Incredible surprise from 2023. Recommended to everyone that loves videogames!
