love it

I didn't think I'd ever have this much destroying property with pizzas! Love the concept, I enjoyed how it implemented slickness is various ways, from the controls to the mechanics. Music and sound design was also excellent and fits the theme of the game well. It started to feel repetitive towards the end and would have benefitted from some more gameplay variety, but overall is still a fun and satisfying little game.

i'm not sure what's wrong, but when I try to play the car is just auto driving around and I don't see any menus or have control over the car, the music and art is very cute though!

Pizza Dog is so cute! The driving mechanics are crazy, but not to the point of frustration. It probably helps that I actually EARN money by being a bad driver (the maintenance person must being paying me off since I'm keeping them in business). The zoom-out while the car is in motion is nice. $500 seemed a little steep for that pizza school upgrade, but given the final objective, I'm thinking that may have been intentional. The design is nice, the music is chill, and I love that an actual dog was used for the audio. Nice work!

Thank you for playing! Yeah, I think if we had another day we would have balanced the economy/objectives differently. I'm just glad we didn't stick with our original final objective mark of $10000

PIZZA DAWG! like how i actually get money for crashing into things, its like you somehow knew i would suck a driving lol fun game :)

Developer(+1)

Glad you had fun! If we iterate on it I'm sure we'll add even more destructible features!

Submitted(+1)

Hard to get used to teh driving, but very satisfying once I go the hang of it! Good stuff!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for checking it out! I agree,  the controls are definitely tricky at first but are really fun after playing for a while

This one has so much character its incredible! Such a simple core gameplay loop but executet so clean with these great janky controlls and cool humor! Destorying the neighbourhood while delivering pizza is a great concept!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! Really glad the humor resonated with folks!

jank driving but actually fun af, it just works in the game's favor. the jump from the 500 dollars to the 5k mission felt like there should've been something inbetween.i loved my time and became too rich for pizza town. really great job!

Developer

Thanks for playing! We did have some other ideas for missions, like delivering objects other than pizza and using a tow truck to haul large objects, but we just didn't have enough time. We probably should've made the final mission like $2000-3000 in hindsight. Still, glad to hear you enjoyed it and made it to the end!

Going to repeat what everyone else is saying: very slick controls, and so much fun!

I clicked it out of curiosity and had a blast throwing pizzas at houses, and running over EVERYTHING that I could. It reminds me of that old Simpsons driving gameboy game. I probably made over half of my money destroying the town, honestly the repair guy should probably be cutting me some of their profits with how much work that green car had to do. 
I also loved all the sound effects and had a lot of fun hitting different things to see how it would break/the noise.

This game is definitely worth a play! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for checking it out! I think you're referring to The Simpsons: Road Rage, I have that game but haven't thought about it in years. Definitely curious and may revisit it, Paper Boy was our main inspiration.

I'm also glad you like all of the sounds! I didn't have as much time as I hoped when creating them since I also handled all of the art, so I'm happy that they mesh well with the visuals and gameplay!

Had way more fun than I probably should have. I really shouldn't have tried playing this during a lunch break, almost was late (which is probably the highest praise I can give, with my short attention span and fear of being late). 

It had both incredibly slick gameplay/controls, and felt like there was an oil slick on the ground, which I find absolutely hilarious. 

Big round of applause to the voice acting talent. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! We'll be sure to tell the voice actor your kind words

I had a feeling I would like this based on the concept/thumbnail, and I wasn't disappointed. I loved all the little polished details and the green repair car was hilarious. The progression felt good and I got better and better at driving the car as I played. Could definitely play this for a while!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! We tried coming up with a diegetic way for all of the breakable objects to be repaired, so we figured the repair car would be a fun visual. Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+2)

I loved breaking everything in pizzatown with my reckless driving and pizza slinging! The added element of money for breaking stuff was a nice touch and the sound design made the game feel satisfying to progress in. I love the idea that pizza can just get infinitely better and you can keep charging more money. I wish there was a little more variation to the music but maybe that's a sign I played it for too long!

Developer(+2)

Thanks for playing! You can't put a price on good pizza

I loved this little Pizza dog, and it was surprisingly so fun driving around town flinging pizzas everywhere. The window breaking and crashing into everything really made me laugh.

Developer(+2)

Thanks for playing! We took inspiration from Paper Boy, an old-school game for the NES. Our goal was to make something both fun and funny, glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Very SLICK game, absolutely had a blast! The music and style were both perfect and in sync, gave a great retro atmosphere. Had some trouble with the bottom edge of the map, especially with the car drifting up and down when going left and right. But the gameplay loop is tight and fun, the progression system is a great start, and overall great bones for the game! Think it could be cool to have like rain puddles/sewer leaks that showed up randomly that decreased friction or increased turn radius. Once again though, you absolutely nailed the style with the music and visuals, its absolutely fantastic. :D Thanks for sharing, great work! Someone needs to take away my license though with what I did to that town :'(

Thank you for playing! Also, you have a great username. I've been listening to Snarky Puppy quite a bit recently

I wasn't part of the jam, but my friend that is also your friend sent this to me. It was really well done! The audio was spectacular all around. My only critique, and it's probably just a me problem, is that I kept wanting to use W and S for forward/backward. Space and CTRL felt a bit off to me. Other than that, I had a blast playing this! Great job!

Developer

We appreciate the feedback! That's something we can definitely implement. Thank you for playing <3

So much fun! unfortunately did hit a small bug/game crash while I was working towards the 5000, randomly it crashed right after I did the backwards achievement. But loved the aesthetics, the controls certainly felt SLICK :) 

Developer

thanks for playing!! I’ll look into that bug right away. That’s the first one I’ve heard of so far!!!

The collision controls were a bit frustrating, as the edge always seemed to point me south and made driving along the edge very annoying to the point that I avoided it. I would have preferred the gas to be on the up arrow as well.

Otherwise, it has a solid retrogame feel! Akin to the paper delivery game and the old school spy car driver. A fun little play :D

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah, the controls with the collisions can be tricky along the edge and behind buildings.  It took me a little while before I felt comfortable with the controls. Paper Boy was an inspiration, good catch!

(+1)

Lots of fun.  Played all the way through.  Some of the progression could be tighter, but, overall I liked the driving, reminded me of those old micro machine games. I didn't care for the controls, but the whole narrative structure and slick gameplay loop of upgrading for better deliveries was fun.

I am unsure if I was playing a dog or not.

Also, was the pizza dog in cahoots with the repair shop?  Cause it feels like I was getting kickbacks for the stuff I broke.

(+1)

Oh, I didn't realize people weren't getting to the 5k.  Its pretty easy, just earn a bit til you get to like 10 pizzas at a time, then even the lower multipliers of 50 / pizza can get you enough to upgrade the multiplier at least once per  restock. 

Developer

Pizza Dog™ can neither confirm nor deny any sort of partnership with Repair Truck Inc.

After the game jam window / when it's allowed, I will be tightening the progression! Top of my list.

The fact you mentioned Micro Machines makes me so happy, as that was my inspiration!! I didn't think anybody would recognize that <3

Thank you so very much for playing!!!!

(+1)

I'm definitely not cut to drive, but at least the destruction was rewarding (literally), so all the frustration wasn't for nothing! Didn't pursue the final goal, but I'm hoping someone will do it.

Developer

Thanks for playing Theipe!!

Enjoyed working for pizza dog so much I got arrested by the cops. Best boss ever.

Also love that I get paid for DESTROYING THE TOWN. Ya'll pretty slick for that one. And funny.

Developer

Pizza Dog would like you to know that *you* are slick for that one! Thanks for playing!! <3
