2024 was the worst year for video games since the dawn of mankind, The only good release was Shadow of the Ninja, and I'm not being picky at all.

the readability is terrible for a platformer. also he wasted so much time making a custom engine. he could have made that slop in 3 months in unity.

>remember mario worldmap?? remember undertale dialog??? remember Wario Land's keys following you??
It has no personality of itself and people can smell that from miles away. It's just a terrible mess of a game, with tons of random useless mechanics.

>the world wants a new wario land
>pizza tower dude makes wario land
>cashes in a lot of dosh
Then you have
>lol dude my game is WACKY and RANDOM. Let me copy just the floating key that follows you like Wario Land because people LOVE PIZZA TOWER, and then my game will sell just as much! And do not forget undertale's black and white face sprites! and SMW map! and that other references that I don't know because I didn't play the game! That will surely sell my game!
People wanted a wario land, thats why pizza tower sold well. Nobody wanted a Garboblarber or whatever the dude calls the game.

I legit thought he named his game Gorbino's Quest at first
would still be a flop, but at least a based flop

Zach, stop posting, it also looks like shit.
No, even if your hitbox looks like undertale's heart it will not make your game sell. Even if your protagonist is balding and gross like Binding of Isac it will not sell. Even if you put in a "chao garden like area" that you said its "fucking boring but that's the point of it" it will not sell.
There are too many useless mechanics and the bullet patterns are slow and retarded (but that happens with every "roguelite shmup").
There was a game someone posted here like two days ago that gave me the same feel as yours, its one with a rat that throws yoyos with a really retarded name. It's "polished" with a lot of visual effects and nice looking pixel art, but the gameplay is uninspired garbage.

This is the sort of hubris that would earn you a brutal, ironic punishment in an ancient myth.

Pizza Tower has its own style and identity though. This game is literally a mishmash of popular indy and retro Nintendo titles. It looks like for the flower character he even copied the look of the flower from Yoshi’s World.

t. has never played any pre-release PT builds
The dev literally had to be strongarmed into gutting out shit like the Heat Meter which was lifted from God Hand.

No it isn't, Jazz has far simpler platforming, floaty baby-mode physics, and run n gun gameplay

Why do people quit their day job before they start making money on their extremely risky ventures?
I actually have a coworker who just quit to work on his 1 man indie game. He was making 110k for hardly any work.

I think all he needs is to team up with a good artist
Pizza is 100x more effort art and animation than what he did, and he delusionally claims his game is as good
And even another derivative BoC r-lite could sell if it got good art and style to stand out
