That's a frantic hard game. It drives up heartrate. Loved it

deniskazantsev 2023-05-01 09:58

@draconic-rabbit thanks man!

Simple and effective game! I like it.

I Like this one. Simple mechanics, but fast-paced and tense. Just about the right level of balance to get the win-condition before it gets too tricky, as well.

Super fast and hectic, loved it! Had a bit of a hard time keep count of how many pizzas I was carrying due to how fast everything was going.

COOL GAME! YOU JUST NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO COMBO STUFF AND THEN ITS A BLAST!

$102 %) Great game, very addictive! I'd like to see it in a mobile store. Strong gameplay, supported by aesthetics. Congrads!

Very satisfying core loop. Enjoyed the simplicity of it. The music is perfect. 5 stars.

Cheers.

Really cool idea / execution. Easy to figure out. Loved the fast paced / frantic puzzle game feel. Found it too easy to "just play one more game" over and over.

Maybe it was because the music's an absolute banger.

Graphics were good it and the sound effects gave solid feedback while making the apocalypse feel appropriately chunky.

deniskazantsev 2023-05-08 12:24

@thaprofesional thank you for such a bold review!

I was forced to choose between sacrificing a cold pizza to someone who had waited patiently, to give a hot pizza to a new order that would tip me better. Such are the cold realities of pizza delivery during the apocalypse. Great music, and struggled to stop playing!

deniskazantsev 2023-05-10 19:46

@tempestcognitor thank you for honest review! I agree, not giving enough agency for player to choose which pizza to deliver. But yeah, you're right, the optimized reailities of such hot business!

Maybe I failed to notice something in the UI (game is pretty frantic) but sometimes it felt like i could do two deliveries before returning to the store and sometimes I could only deliver one, and I couldn't really predict if I could deliver twice in one go or not.

that said i liked it, it was fun, and the colors and sprites are great

deniskazantsev 2023-05-11 10:14

@cheesepencil in the bottom-right corner you have current amount of pizzas on hands. Visiting pizzeria gives you pizza for active orders only, so you can't get pizzas in advance.

omg at first I thought it was a real time game and was gonna comment on how the meteors seemed unfair haha. (somehow managed to score decently as well on that run) Also couldnt buy a car when i did reach 10000 and above? Very cute game that has a strong gameplay loop!

papaver 2023-05-12 16:11

Frantic and fun game! The music hyped me up to keep trying another round.

Like @cheesepencil above, I also was confused about for whom I had pizzas. But apparently, everybody wants the same type of pizza. :)

I was a bit confused by the shop/spacebar action, which I never got to use, I think I got to level 21 once.

deniskazantsev 2023-05-12 17:38

Thanks @cureja, the game has major UX problem with buying a car in the end – but you can use direction keys to navigate to car item and buy with a space.

fabonacci 2023-05-15 19:51

Nice entry, the music motivate to play fast.

bernhard 2023-05-16 13:16

I had 210$ left in change, wish I didn't buy the car so soon :money_mouth:

noskro 2023-05-16 16:39

Cool game. Maybe the difficulty could increase a little bit more in the end. But I never get balancing right. So who am I to complain :D I did had fun playing to the end though. But now I wander what would have happened if I kept playing and didn't buy the car once I could ...

alpacalypse 2023-05-16 21:10

This is very well tuned, the difficulty started to become unmanageable just as I hit 10k on both my successful runs.

deniskazantsev 2023-05-17 08:48

@bernhard I think you are best performer in the game right now. Congrats!

deniskazantsev 2023-05-17 08:49

@noskro actually the difficulty changes with time, As you can see @alpacalypse mentioned, that it even balanced to have right difficulty right before the moment player gets enough money to complete a game. Thanks for your reviews!
