    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 Před rokem +102

      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 Před rokem +40

      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.

      Wow... am I really that bad at the game? I can only manage a S rank on one level and boss, other than that I just get an A rank on average.

      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.

      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.

    A great video to sum up my fave indie game of 2023 so far. I love that this game now is here and also in the 4:30 zone, it's funny you mention "Sugar Rush" because there is an AU version of Pizza Tower being made (with love) called Sugary Spire and that's what they're calling "It's Pizza Time". What a time to be a Wario Land fan

    @VeraVemaVena Před rokem +22

    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.
