Peppino kinda strikes me as a guy whose anxiety vibes are through the roof. He runs like the pizzas going to eat him, (Which it is), he wigs out while doing nothing, biting his hand and urging you to hurry up, and even tries to kill the player if they dont interact with him long enough. This man is only happy when he is busy turning his inward fear towards the inhabitants of the tower, who are quite understandably scared as hell of him. Peppino needs to chill out man.

The funniest part is that Funiculi Funicula was a copyrighted song until a couple decades ago. Brahms (I believe; could've been Strauss) genuinely thought it was an italian folk song and was sued by Luigi Denza, the actual composer, after using the motif in one of his pieces

[@stevethepocket]

It was more than a _couple_ decades, but yes, it was still under copyright when it was being used in stuff like Looney Tunes cartoons as "generic Italian music". Also fun fact, it was written to celebrate the opening of a funicular. You know, those single-car trains that go up steep hills? I love that because it's such a mundane thing to have associated with something so famous.

[@WilfredCthulu]

I like how authentically 90s this game feels. It is specifically early mid 90s. 1998 is my favorite, but it's ok it's all good. Just the whole style, aesthetic, and energy of this game instantly makes me think of classic sonic and Domino's pizza adverts lol. Perhaps Chuck E. Cheese and other arcades too. As Joel said it looking like a 90s cartoon also helps I suppose. He said Cow & Chicken, it's like that mixed with Rocko and Angry Beavers and some Klasky Csupo. Then the faces with the eyes remind of some Ed, Edd n Eddy reactions specifically Double D falling over on Ed's chair then seeing the moldy sandwich right in his face. Fantastic moment. Also on the side I like how it still just feels like its own thing despite the obvious inspiration. As Joey also put it it doesn't "scream" about it. It's not just copy thing that was good but not as good.

[@QuintessentialWalrus]

It really does capture the feel of '90s gross-out cartoons perfectly. Ren & Stimpy and Aaah Real Monsters are the shows that come to mind for me.

[@styno9295]

You know, maybe this is a bit far-fetched. But the level design reminds of 90s pc platformers like jazz jackrabbit, with a focus on speed, collectables and secrets.

[@stevethepocket]

It's definitely late '90s SVGA era stuff. Jazz 2, Captain Claw... it actually reminds me the most of a game I've long forgotten the name of, that I got on a shareware disk, that only stuck in my memory because one of the levels used a MIDI version of the instrumentals from the Bloodhound Gang's "Bad Touch" as its background music.

[@BrainlessSalamander]

8:09 Vinny's perfect timing

[@greatestcait]

I just wanna say real quick that the way they did the costumes in this game is really clever. What it seems like to me is that they animated Peppino with the white hat and apron first, and then afterwards they took some patterned layers and put them onto his hat and apron and set a function for the game to toggle which layers are visible. Really clever way to have customization without increasing the (already probably pretty high) amount of work on the animations for Peppino much.

Some of this game's music reminds me of Hideki Naganuma. There were some familiar voice clips Naganuma has used, for one thing. Around 1:50:00, you can faintly hear "I don't understand what's going on here," which is used in the Jet Set Radio track "Sneakman."

[@AlfurAldric2211]

Highly recommend checking out "Move It Boy", the unused 2player/settings screen track for this game. It's probably the closest we'll ever get to a full-blown Naganuma composition in Pizza Tower.

I haven't heard of this game in a long while! And I'm digging it. It looks so fun, and just looks good in general. I also like the Peppino's design. A lot of games that try to be some sort of successor to older ones, end up having characters that just look and feel like bootleg versions of the originals they're based off of. But Peppino feels like Peppino (even if you can see the Wario Land 3 influence).

[@snowob]

wario land 4 my dude

[@QuintessentialWalrus]

This is a really good point in the game's favor honestly. Peppino does NOT feel like a copy of Wario, but he feels like the same TYPE of character. They didn't just make a legally distinct Wario, they went back to the drawing board and created a character from the same archetype starting at square one. Too many indie games will just copy the hero of whatever inspired them and file the serial numbers off. Peppino is great because his resemblance to Wario is 90% accomplished through his vibes alone.

[@dezookits]

@@snowob I think they meant in terms of color scheme mostly, as WL3 Wario has that similar tan-white-black combo Pep sports. But in terms of gameplay, it's for sure akin to WL4!

Reheating Pizza: Cast Iron. Get it hot, put the pizza in. Put in a little water away from the pizza and cover. The cast iron crisps up the bottom crust so it's not all floppy. The water quickly turns to steam, melts the cheese on top and softens the side crust so it isn't like a brick.

Regarding the best way to reheat pizza being a cast iron pan, that's also a good way to cook pizza at home if you don't have a fancy pizza stone. Start it on the stove, give the bottom a head start, then throw it under the grill/broiler or whatever the setting is called in the oven to give the top a thorough whopping. Also very good for those premade super market pizzas where if you just put them in the oven straight away they never crisp up enough. I don't have a cast iron one so I usually just use a big normal pan on the stove, then transfer to a baking tray for the oven part. Also seeing as I'm writing my pizza manifesto, pineapple on pizza is perfectly legitimate and people who are vehemently against it to the point of ridiculing it are pizza fascists. It adds some sweetness and acidity that pairs well with salty meats like ham or bacon. There are 2 reasons to dislike it for the weirdly emotional pineapple on pizza detractors (just not liking it is fine, but some people are militaristic about it): 1. you dislike cooked fruit in general. 2. you are appealing to tradition and the status quo. Reason #1 is stupid and entirely based on personal fussiness Reason #2 is silly because it induces a purity spiral which, when you consider how much difference there is between "traditional" pizza from Italy and the more globalized version the rest of the world eats, is pretty stupid. Thank you for coming to my ted talk. I'll end off with a hot take: The only thing better than a pineapple and bacon pizza, is a bacon and banana pizza. I'm ready for my crucifixion now. I am ready to become a pizza martyr.

I personally find supermarket pizzas get crispy enough if you just ignore the rating on the packaging and crank your oven all the way to max temperature... you just gotta pay attention because they go from "perfect" to "a pile of ash" REALLY quickly with this method.

Pineapple on pizza sucks because pineapple sucks. Sorry not sorry. It's the worst fruit. The texture is stringy while also being neither sweet nor sour enough to have a satisfying flavor. I'd rather have pear on pizza than pineapple because at least pear is sweet enough to justify it's weird texture.

Thank you for enlightening me on pizza. Maybe now I will prosper and actually gain good taste

I'm actually going to NY to see my dad for the first time since I was a kid, definitely gonna hit up at least one of those pizza places that was mentioned.
