Danger. Love. Fear. Heroism. Pepperoni. These are the things Pizza Tower is made of. The Wario-like platformer dropped in late January, and since then, I haven't been able to get it out of my head. It's one of the best platformers I've ever played. It's damn near perfect, and here's why. No I'm not going to tell you here. Please watch the video review

Personally I have a decent amount of gripes with the game. What you were talking about with the difficulty being variable is more of a negative for me. Just a personal thing but I don't really see myself replaying levels for a higher score, so having basic completion so easy kinda takes away the main reward for me. And with the controls, I'm hesitant to complain bc I feel like they might eventually grow on me, but as of 3-4 hours of playtime I'm still feeling like theyre really unintuitive. There's so many times where I accidentally wall run into a ceiling or if I'm mach running it feels like I don't have enough time to react to things before theyre in my face. And my last complaint is that I feel like the level designs feel really same-y to me and so far haven't really made me stop and think about what I should do, I've mostly just been running as fast as I can and it kinda works out.
That being said I def see why ppl like the game so much and despite all my complaints I like it enough to keep playing, so I guess that's saying something
Edit: Now I've played 6 hours and the game has grown on me a lot. The controls do take a while to get used to but they feel really nice eventually. I still sometimes feel like the levels complete themselves as long as I keep moving, but I'm enjoying it a lot

I keep buying 2D platformers/side-scrollers, but I never play them for more than 1-2 hours. I think Metal Slug 1-3, Broforce, and Super Mario 3 are basically the only ones I've beaten completely. As a kid, I tried to enjoy many retro titles like Metroid, Kirby's Adventure, Wario Land, Castlevania, Donkey Kong Country, Sonic 3. As for more modern titles, I've tried to enjoy Celeste, Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Shovel Knight, Blasphemous, Mark of the Ninja, Katana Zero, and they just haven't kept my interest very long. I don't think I can justify the purchase of Pizza Tower for myself even though I greatly respect the art and gameplay. It will just go mostly unplayed in my library. I realize it's probably a -me thing- but this is basically the only genre I struggle to enjoy

For the record the disappointment is called -War- and I literally did not touch that level after trying it the first time. I had enough collection to do the final boss and so I just. Completely Skipped It.
The joke is funny? I'm sure the stage is fine if you actually have the wherewithal to just plow through or Good At Video Games And Spatial Awareness,
But I did not enjoy being placed on an immediate timer while Literally One Of The Most Important Movement Tools In Your Kit Has Been Replaced With A Momentum Killswitch

So many memey games forget that you have to actually make the game good. Pizza tower remembers that, the game is deranged in all the best ways.
It seems like every year always has its stand out indie game, last year it was (to me) ultrakill, previous years had hollow knight, celest, and so much more, I-m glad pizza tower is getting the praise it so clearly deserves.
We saw the indie rise of metroidvanias, we saw the indie rise of boomer shooters, let-s see some more Wario-likes.

I've never played a Wario Land game in my life, but this game is just so tightly tuned and open about how it's mechanics work with just enough secret tech thrown in that after going at the first stage until i P-ranked it, i was able to S-rank the other stages within a few tries each. Absolutely insanely accessible game. Also would you call the downthrow a pizza suple-
reply

Great animation but I don't find any of the gameplay compelling. I would never play this, it feels like I'm stuck in a blockbuster super nintendo game rental picked out by my grandma that I can't escape from.
Great animation. Great game mechanics. I just have no desire to exist in a weird MS PAINT pizza world.

I played this 4 years ago when the sage demo released and I was instantly hooked, I even donated to pizza tower guys patreon for months!
and when the game finally released, I woke up extra early and bought it the second it was ready to buy.
this game is definitely GOTY.

-it feels very good to play as little peppino-
So uh, it's kind of funny because the word 'peppino' is/sounds extremely similar to the Italian dialect/slang term 'pippino' which means uh. your little bud, you know. Your guy. Down there.
Enjoy

A good game will make you buy it after only one viewing. For me that was Return of the Obra Dinn-
A masterpiece will make you buy it with zero context other than scarce word-of-mouth from friends.
Pizza Tower did the latter.

Pizza tower is the direct sequel to Wario Land 4. Wario lands 1-3 are unrelated. I'm shocked and appalled there aren't more games like this, and I'll buy this type of game on every platform every time one comes out.
reply

I am currently playing this game after watching the video and i'm completely going apeshit
I love this game so much
Every boss i've encountered till now has been p(izza)-ranked by me

reply

Everytime the Warioland 4 soundfont is used in Pizza Tower, I have to immediately stop playing and just enjoy the music. Also did anyone notice the GoldenEye Scream in the PizzaScape level?
reply

That was a pretty good review, almost makes me want to try the game
So sad memers and nintendo nostalgic fans wont shut the fonk off the game making me become tired of oversaturation

reply

-I forgot to tell you about the soundtrack-- MY FRIEND, NO NEED! Listen with your ears and feel with your heart as your pulse accelerates to the sound of ESCAPE!
reply

Surprised this guy was right. Couldn't even finish the video and I still don't get the show but obv people like it so it must be good somehow
reply

Is Wario really Italian? If he's the opposite of Mario, then what's the opposite of an Italian? Or a plumber? Is Wario a German electrician?
reply

I want you to know, ever since I watched this I've been getting algorithmed more and more pizza tower content. Why would you do this to me?
reply

what is the music in the bg of this video! Its not from the pizza tower soundtrack and it sounds great! 1: 33 to 4: 05 is when it plays
reply

Fun fact: You can do a third lap on levels by outrunning the pizza head the entire time, and the game will recognize you for it
reply

I looked up the soundtrack after the end of this video because that song slapped and it's just 3 hours of non-stop bangers
reply

The difficulty is determined by the player, to their satisfaction. Mucn as one would customize a pizza to their satisfaction.
reply

Bro they don't have buffet in pizza hut in the us
That's like the one thing I expected them to have that we have in the uk

reply

Well, I talk about it, talk about it
Talk about it, talk about it
Talk about, talk about
Talk about movin'

reply

Tbh. I've heard good things about it, but I haven't picked it up because the art style just doesn't vibe with me
reply

This is an excellent review. I mean I have no desire to play the game but I happily watched thru the whole thing
reply

This game is decent, its definitely not worthy of all the people gargling its balls but hey, that's my opinion.
reply

One of the best video game reviews I've seen in a while. Loved the format and now I need the game. ---
