I'm gonna be completely honest this game is fun as hell, I love its art, its music, its gameplay, it's all really good and would have been a highlight of 2023. Why did I give it less then one star? becuase I dont think you should buy it. The devs are just blatantly racist for putting in an antisemitic and anti indigenous stereotype in their game while knowing FULL WELL it's a stereotype. This is not a case of "they didnt know" they knew and mocked the people showing concern for it. The devs are shity, they drop ableist and homophobic slurs and are very transphobic and misogynistic. I get when games have shitty aspects to them, some games just have casual racism, homophobia, transphobia, ect without the creators being really malicious or even aware (hell a lot even apologize or patch them out) but McPig knows what hes doing is shitty and he thinks it's funny. I dont really care what people spend their money on I'm really not gonna give you a hard time for it (hell I have 100+ hours in this game before I saw the discord messages) and it's ok to like this game. But personally I do not support putting money into the pockets of bigots.
tldr; game is good but I cannot in good conscience reccomend it to anyone becuase the artist cannot be separated from the art.
also this isnt "cancel culture" if anybody wants 2 whine about that. you literally can play the game all you want I dont care this is my review
edit: I should have put a link in the first place my apologies lol thanks for the comment (sorry for making you look at tumblr but it basically complies everything) https://at.tumblr.com/girlballs/i-dont-pay-attention-to-pizza-tower-stuff-what/ix9vftouw3nb

More like McPig review am I right fellas?
The dev did this years ago he's not like this anymore, stop trying to seek clout.
It's a real concern to have.. The dev has acknowledged they don't feel the same anymore, but hasn't really done anything to remove the racism, and his community is still hostile to basically every autistic or lgbt person that comes in contact with their discord.. Besides.. Whos farming clout here.. This is a game review aggregate site.. Stop simping him he wont notice you lol.. Form your own opinion
The discord server has rules against the use of slurs.
I'll be satisfied if he does anything meaningful to cut the antisemitic/racist shit in the game. I don't particularly care if he can't wrangle the shittier people in his community though. But it does kind of sour the experience of me wanting to play this game all things considered.. I don't begrudge anyone who would keep playing it.
He didnt remove the antisemitism or racism from the game tho...
Alright, that's some really awful stuff.

Anyone else remember when kids didn't have unrestricted internet access? I sure do
Oh man, here we go again. This is so embarrassing
Also why did girlballs wait until recently to post the screenshots? Sounds a bit like their trying to start drama.
