    A really nice detail i realized while playing Pizza Tower is that, if you play in the Windowed mode, you can see how the taskbar name changes everytime you enter a new room or stage
    Devs clearly have putten a lot passion to this game and i love it!

    One thing I REALLY like about P-ranking is that it doesn't DEMAND true perfection. I love Celeste but I don't think I'd have the time on my hands to go through some of the letter levels without dying for those goldens. In Pizza Tower though, the game is forgiving enough that you can still make mistakes and get a P-rank. You can get hit, retry a jump, etc etc but as long as you recover fast enough your combo is safe. It's such a nice design that makes me feel like it's actually possible compared to other games' "perfect rank." I've already P ranked the first floor and a few other levels and I'm only excited and motivated to try out P-ranking the rest of the levels too!

    • @massiveidiot77
      @massiveidiot77 Рік тому +105

      This ^^^ . One of the most satisfying parts of a P rank run isn't actually doing everything 100% perfectly, but somehow recovering after you made a mistake/get hit by an enemy. It makes the game so much more interesting than just "oh no I got hit time to restart"

    • @Xeo_Aligarde
      @Xeo_Aligarde Рік тому +44

      Just having a missed hitbox detection when pizzaface is just right at pepinno's feet as you leave the pizzascape level and get the P rank is an feeling I WILL TREASURE on my first P rank. Its frustrating to fail but its worth every effort you put into, and you dont have to do them TAS moves or be perfect. Its worth having to P Rank these stages.
      If all else fails, you do get to enjoy the osts over and over again.

      True. Like you said, if you get hit, you can still recover from a P rank, which I really like since... i get hit a lot
      Also if you DO get hit, unless you go into a new room transition or something, you can still probably do a Super Taunt to get back at whoever hit you and recover your combo.

      @@GooberV.-o Actually, I don't think the full reason WAS making him a boss, the noise being a boss was planned as early as XMas Break (2019), while the latest playable appearance was the April 2021 build.
      I'm fairly certain that the noise was just cut because they...Wanted to actually RELEASE the game, making the noise would've probably required new levels to accomodate for his slightly altered playstyle.
      Maybe we'll get noise DLC one day, I'm not counting on it personally, but it's definitely possible, especially seeing the popularity Pizza Tower has aquired.

    My favourite part of this game by far is the last level before you fight Pizzaface. (Spoilers be upon ye who press read more)
    War is literally the Pizza Tower using Peppino's PTSD against him, intentional or not. The level design, the music, the bomb timer and the fact of that Peppino has a goddamn shotgun, it's all taken much more seriously than the rest of the game. It genuinely feels like the tower is throwing everything it has at you, and Peppino's just powering through it out of sheer rage.
    Also, Thousand March uses a Waters of Nazareth motif and is named after an actual Italian military campaign which is based as hell, definitely my favourite level soundtrack.

      1. You can make the game's steam page photo more related to the game. Because I couldn't see the guy at the steam page in the trailer. If that guy is in the game (I forgot the name of the guy) you can add to the trailer. If the guy is not in the game, you can change the photo.
      2. You can add a black outline to the character to see the character better. I saw in the trailer that you add a white outline to the character when it is charged (or something, idk). You can add the white outline outside of the black outline when it is charged.
      3. I don't know if it is intensional or not. But the background's blur in the "Conjunter" boss can be annoying and hard to look at in the game.
      4. You can add an option to the game for the vignette of the screen.
