i'm a big big fan of funny games that don't give a fuck about anything. so i'm a bit mad at myself for not playing this one sooner.
batshit insane controls, the most hectic and explosive aesthetic of any game i've ever played, and zero fear over looking like it was made in mspaint - this one fucks HARD, dude. every level made me laugh out loud at least once, and the sheer number of insane gimmicks floored me. pizza tower isn't at all afraid to move away from its 2d platformer inspirations and just go "here's a fucking gun". even benign stuff like the priest removing whatever transformation you have by absolving you of your sins is fucking genius.
this is a very short game, but there's not an ounce of filler here. not a single slow point - back to back insane nonsense for four straight hours. sure, not every level or individual moment is a winner, but almost all of them are good in some form or another.
unfortunately, though, with how frantic the game's pacing is, i felt like there was hardly any opportunities to seek out secrets unless it was obvious how to get to them - so i hardly got any of those during my time with the game. also, i'm personally not a fan of score-based games, so i don't really see any incentive to go for P ranks at all. especially when i never quite became accustomed to the controls - though that's absolutely on me, i get that this game is slippery on purpose.
(also i'm fully willing to admit this. im a colossal wuss and didnt like the jumpscare level at all. the escape section was funny though)
still, this game's phenomenal. most of my issues with it just boil down to personal taste, but even if i don't ever see myself grinding this one out i still thoroughly enjoyed my time with it.
