Hilarious take on the theme!
If I had VR, this would be the first game I would buy, haha!
Friggin hilarious! I was DYING of laughter!
"Dis pizza tastes like from old country." LOL
nice visual
Thanks everyone!
crazy good loking!
Was this original intended for VR? Because I'm playing it and I'm imagining a VR title.
@supergamersgames I take that as a huge compliment! It was always intended to be KB+M, but we set out to make a game filled with chaos and somewhat complicated to control to add onto that! We looked to surgeon simulator a bit for inspiration there. But since we've heard some feedback about a VR game we're considering making a VR port! Thank you for playing and providing your feedback!
@tomeks : Thank you, @thegrandpa did a wonderful job with the 3d models.
@blackopsben : Oh man, @divic knocked it out of the park with the voice lines. Everything in here was more or less improv'd.
@binroot : Thank you so much for the kind words!
@ioan-pop : Glad you enjoyed, we had a blast working on this entry and we're glad it made you smile!
Not sure why, tried to run it, got this error. https://www.screencast.com/t/MyFIMfWu1kQa
it's so funny hhhhh
@commanderstitch I'll look into that!
@commanderstitch Should be fixed! Thanks for letting me know.
Saweet, worked great that time. Got to play it. It was really funny. Not even sure how to approach thinking up something like that. Loved the radio references, found it pretty solid driving around, kept getting stopped by things in the road and turning was kinda hard at times. Found the pizzas to be hilarious but i couldn't find any way to roll down the window to 'throw a pizza out the window'. Beat it, great stuff!
Should be played with vr :D Great art man.
Well... this is a little masterpiece. Thx!
This is such a great game man, it had me dying of laughter. it was perfect all the way through. Great entry!
Amazing game! I agree to others, post jam version for vr would be nice
Love everything about this one! Great work :)
It's an absolutely amazing game! Great work :) Please, continue development!
Ok I have had this problem with a few games but windows says that your game is a virus.
oh man, this game is a masterpiece! Five Stars in all categories. Love it!
DUUUUDE IT'S AWESOME nice work!!!
it's so funny hhh
We are overwhelmed with the positive feedback folks!
Hey, who wasn't delivered pizza and vital organs?
Very funny; I'm a sucker for the voice clips and the explosions. I would give feedback, but every glitch I find just adds to the game. I guess I would like a nitro button. You know, fly off.
Nice game!
It looks really great, has a fun idea, feels great to play!
I only find it a bit hard to play at first, but that is not too much of an issue!
I'm really impressed!

Great atmosphere and well polished for a LD game! The controls are rather funky, but I like the "VR" kind of handling things around. Pizza dropped on my heart, and I wasnt able to pick it up! Stupid pizza! Hahah, had a lot of fun with this one.
I found the controls hard at the beginning but the game was really funny, and the graphics were awesome! I liked it!
Nice job team really like the art keep it up team !
Oh man is this impressive. Very well done, it's hilarious and exhilarating and I so badly want to play this in VR.
@vex We are definitely planning something! Stay tuned!
It's crashed at the opening.
Hi @dbreak, thank you for the feedback. Which platform are you playing on, and when did it crash? Depending on your computer, the game may take some time to load after pushing "play". Clicking play a few times may cause some funkyness. Thank you for trying to play and sorry you ran into this issue!
An absolute fever dream. I actually really like the controls, reminds me of good ol' Envirobear. Only issue is stuff glitching through the car, happened to me with the heart on my first try. Hilarious entry.
Wow, what a bizarre and janky but surprisingly entertaining game. I don't think I ever actually delivered a pizza, but waving them in the window seemed to work. The radio is excellent.
Hey, just wanted to let you know that your mac version isn't working. Google drive takes forever to zip it up, and it must be corrupting it somehow because after downloading/unzipping I just get an error message saying the app can't be opened.
Hey @peringo that was actually one of the insperations! we talk about it [here](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/pizza-with-a-pulse/pizza-with-a-pulse-behind-the-scenes) in our behind the scenes blog post.
That was a ridiculous game. It was so difficult to balance everything and seeing everything exploding all the time while trying to throw a pizza is great.
Thanks for the heads up @shaolin-dave, I don't have a way to test mac apps ~~so I'll try another build tomorrow~~. **Maybe it's fixed? Try the new download link!**
Took me a little while to figure out how it works, but once i got it it was prety fun in this apocalyptic world. Good job on that game.
I think the sound and graphics of the menu are great and the story is fun. For me it felt like the theme of the LD was pushed a bit into it and didn't connect to the other elements.The game play is a bit to chaotic for my taste and isn't very different from other games driving around destroying everything in your path, but if that is something you like to play, this game could keep you busy for quite some time.
No menu for quitting, controls are a bit janky. However it's quite charming and funny, and worth your time to try.
Never would have thought of that for the theme, but the game is superb! Well done!
absolutely hilarious!!! had difficult times coltrolling it but i just l laugh my ##s out!!!
Funny game, the voicelines make it really neat. It would be nice if you added one that explained while there was a heart to be delivered, or did I miss something? Also the pumping lacked visuals in my opinion. But it was fun playing, also really dificult to keep track of the heart/road at the same time since you can only look at where your hand is at. You did a nice job creating all the visuals for this game!
I don't really understand what happened but it was fun, so, good enough haha
Funny game
I'm the only one that finds the controls a little bit cluncky??? No??? Only Me???
Well, whatever, the game was fun undeless, so... Good job!!!
macCantBeOpened.pngIt didn't take long to zip/download this time, but the app still isn't opening. I've been seeing this quite a bit during this jam, so I'll try researching and as soon as I find something out I'll let you know. If you could, you should consider a Web build. it's a great way to reach audiences of all OSes.
Thank you @shaolin-dave, I'll see what I can do about that! I wasn't sure if our game would be able to run on web but I'll upload a build today and see. I really appreciate you coming back and giving it another try.
@shaolin-dave A web build is available! As far as I can tell it runs fine, though the mouse sensitivity is much higher on the web build than it is in the standalone build. Thank you for the recommendation! We hope you enjoy the game, and we'll be sure to upload web builds of our games from here on out! :)
I might've fixed the mac issue for you. Will have to test and see. Could you download my version, then replace yours with it, then I'll redownload to test? Just to make sure that Google Drive isn't scrambling it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/tq01vzfan19w58u/Pizza%20With%20a%20Pulse.dmg?dl=0
@shaolin-dave Give that a try
That works for me.
Always love y'all's completely unfettered creativity. This game is hilarious and at the same time quite a step up in terms of technical complexity!
The controls took a long time to get used to, but once it finally clicked I was able to have a good time! :)
In terms of polish, I would have loved it if there were maybe some subtitles for the guy who was talking to you on the phone. I could mostly hear him, but some parts when would mumble or say things quietly were a little hard to catch.
Also...I mmmmaaaaaayyyyy have accidentally driven through the pizza shop building and fallen off the map. ;) Was super cool watching all the physics take over on the stuff inside my car when it happened, though, hahaha.
Thanks for the kind words @coleslaughter! Glad to hear you enjoyed the game! We were really happy with how the physics worked out for the car interior. Of course, the pizza shop was the one building I forgot to check collision on hahaha. Thanks for reviewing, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you and your team cook up next jam. :)
@shaolin-dave Glad to hear! What was the fix? I'll make sure to implement it next time.
I talk about it here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/dragon-eggs/some-mac-games-cant-be-opened-lets-figure-it-out
Basically the file was corrupted when it was zipped or unzipped. The solution I came up with was by putting the app into a Mac disk image file (.dmg). Not sure how you'd do that without a Mac, maybe you could do it with a Linux distro, or a Mac OS installed on a VM? You might just ask someone with a Mac to do it for you (feel free to reach out to me).
In the end, most people are just going to play the web version anyway.
Just played! very nice! Probably I will tweet about this in the next day on this page https://twitter.com/Free_IndieGames !
Thanks a bunch @shaolin-dave, I might be able to get access to a mac for the next jam so I'll be sure to do research!
@bongooo Awesome! If you do I'll make sure to RT it!
I found the controls abit frustrating at first (having to hold down the RMB the look down and having the mouse down to be back and forth etc), but i understand why it made have been coded this way, since the usual w,a,s,d controls were reserved for the car driving. I repeatly dropped the transplant under the seat and was unable to rescue it. I feel like this would have been a better experience for me if i played it in VR. I really like the idea and i'll be coming back to give it a few more gos!
The heart just kept falling though the floor for me :laughing: I felt as inept as in Surgeon Simulator. Nice graphics though :) and definitely an unique concept!
hilarious game especially for the time. would love some kind of audio or visual cue for when your hand is overlapping the heart because its hard hard to tell where everything is in space. on the 4th delivery I clipped through a wall, but even as i was spinning and plummeting through space I did my best to keep the heart alive, which felt like a very fitting and satisfying end anyway. overall really fun
Carmageddon 2020 here =D
I am beyond proud of my brother and his amazing group of friends who put in the work and made this hilarious and hectic masterpiece in 48 hours. It takes a lot for me to be excited about a game, but this game is so unique and well thought out that it's hard not to love it. I have replayed the game 5 times already, and look forward to what the future holds for this game and the amazing group of people who made it.
Wow, this was really fun - it sells the concept immediately with the graphics and audio. I like the chaotic controls in general, however I had a bit too much issues getting hold of the heart (and on some runs couldn't even get it out of the box due to pizza being in the way).
interesting concept but had a lot of issues with the colliders of the heart and the pizza. Resulting in not been able to throw them out of the window or grab the heard. One time it jumped though the windshield when trying to break...
This one kept me laughing. The car controls were ridiculous. Had a bit of surgeon simulator feel and would love to play in VR. Good job!
its a bit hectic at the beginning, and the controls are a bit wonky, but overall its really fun :D with all the explosions and chaos it was a challenge to keep it together
Hilarious and beautiful visuals. Got a bit frustrated trying to understand, but I kept hooked to it and it was worth it.
Haha this game is CRAZY! What a wicked but fun idea, well done!
A little bit laggy in the browser so I would recommend people to download it instead
Definitely an experience I won't forget. Crazy, silly and feels like a fun revival of Surgeon Simulator genre haha. I will say it's very difficult to change where your hand is in 3D space. It might have been to have your hand travel in a sphere around the player so you could simulate look around a lot better and then when you RMB, you choice change the size of the sphere it travels around. Just a thought, all in all a great entry!
I really want this game for VR! haahah Nice job, is so funny!
This was pretty cool haha :D
I can't grab the heart. The movement of the hand is pretty bad. I am sorry for mean comment, but what else am I supposed to say if I can't play the game.
I tried to play the game but cannot do anything. It is very confusing to me. Great graphics and seems very humorous. I enjoyed the chaos and it seemed to be very much enjoyable if I could grasp how to control it :sweat_smile:
The controls are really difficult to use. I couldn't manage to throw the pizza out the window. I imagined this would work a lot better in VR. The graphics are really nice and that you can actually drive over the people is also a plus point.
Wonderful chaos! I had trouble using my hands and everything was exploding! Good times.
Thanks for the honest review @g-a-gamestudio! We've been in talks about what we want to do with this project going forward, and input like yours is unbelievably valuable. Thank you for playing our game and taking the time to give us your thoughts :)
So I really like the graphics, sound and humor. Only I could not even grab anything. :D.. maybe a little to whobly controls, even for this genre.
