Pizzarian

Concept is interesting. Retro is cool. Execution is poor. First and foremost - this is the first game I've ever played ... and I do mean ~ever~ played, where the tutorial not only insults the player (plenty of those), but actually gives up on the player (*ding!* First EVAR! Congrats! You've leveled ~down~!) . Really. Three minutes in, and not only does the weak, weak tutorial fail to satisfactorally explain the gameplay, but it's not even accessible after two failures to do EXACTLY what it tells you to... leaving you to try and figure out game controls on your own, or re-boot the game. Now, undoubtedly, there will be some whom find this "edgy" "neo-punk" attitude charming, but not, by whole, a wide audience. After that, the extreme lack of information continues. I can purchase upgrades to expand my capacity, for instance - but for the life of me, my current capacity is listed ~nowhere~. How about a status screen or two? Hmmm? One for my business and one for my current ship? Let me ...

The game can be frustrating to say the least. It actually is comprised of some RPG elements in that you save up money to get upgrades which in turn get you more money. There is some levelling with XP that allow you to choose from 3 upgrade categories. There is also a pool of "coolness" points that, in the short time I've played, haven't made much sense to me. You apparantly are supposed to scrape other vehicles without causing damage, and doing so is supposed to increase your coolness level. However, after having scraped hundreds of vehicles it didn't seem like my coolness points were going up. At some point, and seemingly at random, some text popped up next to a vehicle I had just scraped, exclaiming "Cool!" and I saw my points go up. Unfortunately I have no idea what was different about that situation vs. all the other times I scraped a vehicle. Obviously there is a bit of a learning curve with this game. The game itself is actually comprised of two mini-games. The first is...

There is no game, whatever was programmed doesn't work on my machine and judging by the forums the developer has up and given up on supporting this game anyway. Negative review until I can actually play this or see the developer making some effort to fix these errors. In the meantime, let's explore how this title came to be. Once upon the time there was a fruggo named "Froggy G." who loved pizza more than anything. More than he loved pushing bot lane. More than he loved vulturing kills off of Vinnies who are trying SO DAMN HARD despite the nerfs. He loved it so much he wanted to make a historical video game about the earliest known records of pizza delivery 1577 years before his time. He learned to code, which was a challenge as he reflexively attempted to swallow his monitor whole each time it displayed the italian flavor discs he so worshipped, but the froge persisted. Days into nights into weeks into months into years. His life committed to his endeavors so thoroughly it began to f...

Play this; this game has good everthing, good controls, good mechanics, good pizza, good sprites, good atmosphere, all of it!

The greatest pizza strategy arcade shoot-em-up business simulator I've played to date.
