Trying to think how you explain Pizza Tower to someone. The 90s Cartoon aesthetics is what will grab player's attention on its surface level.
I would best describe this as: you climb the titular Pizza Tower, defeat multiple levels on each floor to continue ascending. Every level has a confined Metroidvania level design. Different power-ups/gimmicks and the moveset is what really derives from the Wario Land games. You escape each level like a Metroid escape sequence. The movement is also faster than any 2D Sonic game I've played. The bosses were very fun and challenging. Like a lengthy boss fight from a Mega Man game. Completing this game 100% will be the struggle, as it is very stressful and tight on time when collecting everything, but Pizza Tower is a truly one-of-a-kind game
