Pizza of the Gods

You play as a pizza delivery boy who is in love with his boss’s daughter and dreams of marrying her. The boss strongly disapproves and decides to send him on a seemingly impossible task: delivering a pizza to Zeus. The journey to the clouds is packed with the usual challenges every platforming hero must overcome. Aside from moving left and right, the pizza boy can only jump and shoot his ketchup bottle. Ammo is unlimited, but the firing rate is slow, even if you mash the button. The bottle can be upgraded into three increasingly spicy condiments, with wasabi as the final form, depending on how many points you earn. Points are gained by defeating enemies and collecting coins. Unless you deliberately avoid everything, you will reach the best upgrade fairly quickly. The final upgrade is the only one that feels meaningful, as it noticeably increases damage, while the earlier upgrades hardly seem to make a difference. Once you unlock an upgrade, you never lose it because your points never decrease. Checkpoints are frequent and take the form of a rooster. If you fall into a pit or lose all your health, you instantly respawn at the last checkpoint. Everything you have accomplished rema…

6/10. A 2D side-scroller that mixes together a whole bunch of different ideas and is clearly someone's passion project. It is almost certainly also a one-person project, and as such has some very rough edges and uneven difficulty. Although mostly it seems like it's aimed at the casual crowd. In addition to the very standard run, jump, and fire, you also often have the ability to draw platforms on the screen, a little bit like the Kirby games. Not every level gives you this ability, and it sometimes seems very OP. But mostly you avoid enemies or kill them, jump over pits, and move from left to right until you find the exit. One thing that is fairly unique about it is that the art seems to be fairly close to hand-drawn. This does mean that sometimes it's a bit strangely composited. However, it's a refreshing change from all of the AI art. In the end, I got stuck on a fairly early part of the game: level 5, where there seemed to be something I was supposed to do—and indeed a chicken to give me the hint about how—but it didn't seem to be possible. I messed around with it for a while and realized that I wasn't really having that great a time anyway, and this seemed like a good tim…

Very fun game, would recommend!!

A fun platformer, observing and navigating a painted world is pretty cool! If you enjoy hand-made crafted world, you'll enjoy. Plus the switching between characters with the dragon mechanic is pretty fun! Edit: I'll just add, since one of the review say there is no secret, that I at least found 1 true secret and some mild one.
