There’s one called the ‘Spit Cheese’, and it shoots spiky cheeseballs. The game also evolves in an interesting way, Peppino learns new tricks, and meets wackier food-inspired monsters. The music is infectious, I found myself humming the tune while eating a pizza. Arguably the best few minutes of the game, Peppino must now race back to the entrance of the level at top speed before time runs out. But smashing into him unlocks ‘Pizza Time’. At the end of the levels is a grumpy-looking pillar called ‘Pillar John’. While it does sneakily shame you for hurting Peppino too many times, I love that the game feeds in complexity into the mechanic without punishing us with permadeath. The best part of the level design is the absence of a health meter.
Tumbling through the level knocks several enemies along the way, leading to combos, and adding points.
The game almost insists that you hold down on the dash key - which turns Peppino into an aggressively fast runner, getting faster the longer he travels without slamming into a wall. But I’m putting my money down on Pizza Tower right now - this may just be the best game I’ve played in 2023.Įach level in the game involves a maze of platforms and doors, occupied by its resident monsters. The graphics resemble the most sophisticated drawings that could come out of the 90s edition of Microsoft Paint. The developers say that they were inspired by the Wario Land series of games, and while it does carry remnants of the old Nintendo games, Pizza Tower’s overwhelming whimsy allows it to stand on its own foundations. This sets Peppino into an inspired fit of rage, and he tumbles at top speed after the floating pizza head and towards the tower.įive years in the making and a month since it released is Pizza Tower. It has built a gigantic laser-shooter at the top of a tower, aimed straight at his precious pizza shop. While he sits in despair, an evil sentient pizza appears. Unfortunately for him, the business performs poorly, and he’s left with a mountain of debt. CHENNAI: Some would say that a man named Peppino Spaghetti is destined to have his own pizza shop.
