You can absolutely play it much slower, the devs just like to show off how fast you can go in the marketing. But it's very fun even if you take your time.Is this game mega fast paced like the trailer made it show? I can't really do Sonic fast. I know Wario games could be faster at times but not usually as mega fast as this trailer. I thought I remembered this one was going to be regular platforming speed with some faster sections or options.
"We have Pizza Tower at home!"
That's not fair, of course, I remember seeing the Kickstarter for this years ago, and I'm glad it's coming, and I'm glad that there are devs tapping the Wario Land vein. Hopefully this being a console exclusive and coming to Switch before Pizza Tower will give both games room to breathe and grow.
Nice! Thanks for the info! Do you need to speed up a lot for certain sections or goals?You can absolutely play it much slower, the devs just like to show off how fast you can go in the marketing. But it's very fun even if you take your time.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who got Cow & Chicken vibes the moment the Devil spoke.

You'll need speed to jump across some large gaps and your main attack is tied to a speed burst. Think of it kinda like the boost mechanic in modern Sonic games, except maintaining that speed takes more execution so it's a lot less necessary. There's a few gimmicks that rely on speed as well overall, but much of the game is also just precision platforming.Nice! Thanks for the info!

Aww, is the dev of Other Game ungood?Hey, at least this dev isn't a piece of garbage as far as we know!
Said some somewhat questionable things in a Discord like over 5 years ago, but they don't even really come off as intentionally malicious, just bad jokes.Aww, is the dev of Other Game ungood?
Better judge for yourself
Nah, this one started in November 2021. The oldest Pizza Tower demo is from 2018.Really sucks this isn't out till November, but it looks fantastic. Hate seeing so many people say it's a Pizza Tower rip off when these were in dev at the same time, in fact this might have started first.

I will warn that this game is pretty brutal. Both escapes in the demo are as close as the hardest Pizza Tower ones, and far beyond anything in Wario Land 4 on normal difficulty. The levels are incredibly long and demanding, like if you took a Wario Land 4 level with the full extent of its exploration and combined it with an especially complex Tropical Freeze level that had like five mechanics and was determined to fully use all of them. You get the full brunt of both approaches to level design, which feels unusual to me. Not for the faint of heart.
Yeah, I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. It’s difficult to parse what’s happening on screen at times, and having the hammer smash/bounce doesn’t feel reliable (sometimes I wanted to bounce off a platform but the character landed and dashed instead).
In feel, this game is very much more Virtual Boy Wario Land, it just also has escape sequences.I wonder if we'll ever get a fan copy of any of the first three Wario lands instead of four. even the spinoff land games that came after 4 are just like 4 but 3D or with motion controls
Agreed. I also felt visually it was very busy and cluttered, which can be problematic in a fast paced platformer. But I enjoyed it and I’ll most likely buy the final game.Played the demo, a lot of stuff is great, but I kinda feel the moveset is a tad bit too complicated for its own good maybe? Don't mind stuff like that in a Metroid-like, but in a platformer I feel like it's always better to keep it as simple as possible.
The dev is on era and this is what they said on the Pizza Tower devs:Ahhh ok, for some reason I thought this one started first. Either way I know both devs encourage each other and hype each others games. Can't wait to try the demo tonight.

"For what it's worth, we were not aware of certain past posts from the Pizza Tower lead during prior collaboration, and we of course do not agree with the sentiments held in those posts. I completely understand peoples' hesitancy but we could not be further from those beliefs as a studio and a unit.”

Pizza Tower's ranking system is not based on time at all, aside from a couple of the ending images which are just there like Metroid. Don't feel bad about making mistakes, P ranks are just an extra challenge designed for end game. Here though I think the exploration is much more emphasized, maybe not to the degree of Wario Land 2 or 3, but you will usually be rewarded for seeing something off and it's much more often.The fact that you're pretty much playing to get a good time since the beginning made me feel bad about exploring, and frustrated whenever I would make a mistake.
