Pizza Time Explosion Reviews

Cute and wacky arcade game. Good fun chasing high scores and keeps bringing you back for more. Animation is really well done and there's a lot of thought into the places where players could potentially get caught up in order to maintain your flow.

Nice graphics but gameplay is fairly trivial and wears thing after a while. Not a bad game and has a decent amount of content but it gets very grating quickly and there are many needed quality of life improvements such as a tutorial. Also doesn't specify on the store page that a controller is suggested and the game doesn't detect controllers unless they're plugged in when it launched. Edit: Just read the dev response and have seen they've amended the page which is nice. Apparently there is a tutorial but it's just a bit to the side. I used an xbox 360 remote and they used an xbox one remote and didn't run into the same controller issues as me according to their response so it may only affect 360 remotes or those connected via usb.

Pizza Time Explosion is a game and honestly i feel like that's a convincing enough argument to buy the game [spoiler]i'll leave an actual review later. but PTE is a solid (and at times, addicting) score attack bullet hell game. it's very different from anything else i've really played, so take what i write at face value. it does suffer from the occasional sprinkling of BS (flies) and the soundtrack being hard on the ears at times, but even during my most distressed times, i had fun with this game, and i'm sure you would too. (just change your controls in the menu if you use a keyboard)[/spoiler]

A very easy to pick up and charming game, Pizza Time Explosion has an incredibly engaging and natural learning curve, and myriad settings to help customize the player's experience. Although difficult, a wonderfully thorough, yet fully accessible tutorial and the simple game play loop allows players to naturally familiarize themselves with the mechanics, and obstacles are gradually and naturally introduced as new stages are unlocked. In addition to the main game mode, there are three special mode, each feeling satisfactorily unique and fleshed-out. Beyond just the game play, the overall presentation is remarkably pleasant, with an easy to intuit UI, and high-quality art. Every screen oozes personality in a way few games manage, and the accompanying sound design only furthers this feeling. PTE is all-in-all an absolute gem of a game, with clear care and effort being put into every piece of it. I'd highly recommend this game if it seems interesting!

Cute concept, cute game. It's pretty fun. That said... It needs more players, tbh. I know I have good hand-eye coordination to do pretty well at these kinds of games, but I'm top 15~20% at best. Meanwhile, I can apparently get on the top 10 leaderboards with ease here.

This is a super fun and polished arcade style game, and is great for some pick-up-a d-llay gameplay for the price! I love how the numbers get REAL big! Trans rights! Highly recommend! UPDATE: Wow this game has SO much more content than you'd expect! It's so sincerely worth the money, if you're into arcade style score challenges!!! I promise! P.S: Use a controller, it's so much better!

Pizza Time Explosion is the third game I've played from this dev and their work continues to impress me. While PTE isn't as much "my thing" as Super Climb Up was, it's still an excellent arcade-style game with cute art and a serious challenge. And that's something I want you to understand - Electric Prune Juice Games are all very cute and wholesome but ARCADE HARD by design. Marshmallow in Fruit Land remains one of maybe three games to make me legit SALTY with its puzzles. They weren't unfair, just challenging - and that assessment remains true of Pizza Time Explosion. In this very normal game, you take on the role of a slice of pepperoni pizza in the Pizza Dimension collecting toppings to grow the Pizza Star. The core gameplay is very similar to Pac-Man by way of Sinistar in how you control your slice and collect item while avoiding enemies and obstacles. The game even has a pretty clear lore about it, which you can infer from the levels and how they progress; it's very "show-don't-tell". What sets it apart from its inspirations is a really cool and rewarding score multiplication mechanic, whereby collecting toppings along the right "chain" builds your score multiplier, which rewards skill, reflexes, and learning the level layouts. The multiplier grows faster the more quickly you follow the chain, and the higher it grows, the faster your little slice can move. There may be some sort of upper limit on the speed, but I honestly couldn't tell. As with previous games by Electric Prune Juice, the art and visual design of the game is cute and playful. The animation is charming and a lot of attention to detail shines through as you experience it. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention this game's STELLAR soundtrack, as well, which compliments the art and gameplay very well. The music is all original, thematic, and eclectic in the right ways, composed by one "Cassie". Spoiler: Pac-Man himself makes an appearance on the game's soundtrack doing vocals. In fact, there are SEVERAL easter eggs throughout the game for you to discover; things that didn't need to be there, but are because this is a project of passion and homage. PTE is a challenging, cute, and well-crafted game. Its mechanics are polished and really reward mastery. There are way more bells, whistles, and easter eggs than you would expect from a studio this small, and it all adds up to an undeniable charm that pervades this developer's games. This game is easy to recommend to anyone looking for a modern take on classic arcade gameplay and I really hope it sells well enough to justify a mobile port, because I can 100% see this being a perfect waiting room time killer.

This is a cute, silly and kind of intense game! It reminds me of the quarter munchers you'd find in pizza places in the 90s. Fast, reactive controls, a variety of difficulty levels, including infinite lives. A swath of gameplay modes with secrets, cute lil cutscenes, and positive music. On the downside, it's really hard! But that's probably because I'm not good at it. It's deffo worth your time, but it's a bit intense.

An frantic arcade style game where the numbers get very big and at the end there's an explosion of pizza. It plays kind of like a Pac-Man where you have to collect all the things in the level, with a focus on speed and not getting hit by obstacles and enemies to get that big big multiplier, and with very fast and tight movement. Has a variety of modes and difficulty modifiers, and unlockable visual modifiers and ART OF CUTE GIRLS, which is the most important part. It's hecking charming and a fun time killer if you like arcadey high score games. Also it's cheap~

This is a fun and quirky arcade-style game I can find myself becoming REALLY addicted to if I'm not careful. I would go so far as to say that as someone who's supported the dev on itch.io for awhile before she made her Steam debut here, it's definitely her best game. Highly recommended if you want a game you can sit back and enjoy for awhile.
