I don't even know how to describe my love for this game, it just feels so familiar, not in gameplay or artstyle but with its Vibes. Tell me that this doesn't feel like a game you play on a Friday evening with your friends, a few boxes of pizza and a few cans of soda. Whatever, I'll actually talk about the game now.

It feels like a dream to play, everything is so Smoot and it feels even smoother when you fully understand the controls, I've replayed a few levels for secrets and collectibles and it feels so good to come back to a level and just be completely unstoppable. I imagine it plays better on a controller but it still played really well on a keyboard. Another thing that I really liked was the challenge involved, I'm surprised that I beat it because it's not easy ( or maybe I'm just bad at video games ) but it's a difficulty that you gnaws at you. I got stuck on the second boss and when I wasn't playing, all I could think of was my strategy for beating him. I guess I'm trying to say that you just can't drop it No matter how frustrating it is, it just keeps pulling you back in for another try.

The story is pretty bare bones but I feel like there's a lot of lore just hanging around the lobby and I want to know more. Even though the story is bare bones, I feel like it's saying something. If anything Pizza Tower is about a man who runs a local pizzeria going up against the behemoth corporate Pizza chain and he will stop at nothing. I think that can be seen as a reflection of the game industry maybe, the little indie devs vs the massive triple AAA titles or maybe I'm looking too much into it but that's just some food for thought.

Thank you, Tour De Pizza for making a unique experience, that bursts at the seams with passion.

Thank you, Nitro for buying me this game for my birthday( he doesn't use backloggd but I still wanted to thank him )
