Pizza Time Explosion

Super fun and very well made!

If you're in the mood for an arcade snack, this will do nicely. Fast-paced and does a good job of avoiding frustrations. [Full disclosure: I supported (and still do) the creator's Patreon and received a Steam key when the game initially released.]

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!
