pizza tower isn’t a game about saving a restaurant, it’s a game about what happens when a man is pushed past his limit

I like how Pepperman having a 3rd healthbar during the cutscene implies that he trained for the fight only to get demolished at the hands of the enraged Peppino.

Peppino yelling into the heaven's and proceeding to beat the ever living shit out of every boss is one of the most rawest things I've ever experienced in a video game.

Let’s face it…Peppino’s reaction to having to fight Pizza Face AND the other bosses all over again is exactly how we felt.

I like how the major npcs and bosses are all confused when the tower starts shaking and see peppino fucking hauling ass and decide “yea I should probably follow him”

this is probably the most viscerally satisfying, cathartic boss fight i've ever had the pleasure of playing. you can *feel* the pure rage put into each and every one of peppino's attacks. he isn't just fighting for his pizza place; he's fighting for himself and all the bullshit that he's been through

At 3:30 the music changes mood from "vs. Pizza Face" to "vs. Peppino Spaghetti".

*The fact his pure scream of hatred SPLIT THE SKIES INTO A THUNDERSTORM just proves how fucking done he is*

I love how Peppino loses his mind angry during the boss rush and ends up taking off huge chunks of enemies’ HP

As an Italian I can confirm this is how we react to someone threatening us to destroy our restaurant

I love how throughout the entire game, Gustavo is a literal bro, like doing a part of a level while peppino rests and let's himself be thrown at the enemy to stun them, and best of all he pats peppino on the back for a job well done.

2:49, I love Pizza Head's attack where he reaches for the sword in the stone, but because he's unworthy to pull it out he just ends up pulling up the entire level instead

3:21 You can just see the ticking time bomb of Peppino's anxiety and desperation reach it's final count-down.

I like to imagine that during the escape Peppino isn't rescuing any of the characters or bosses, they just know that if they want to escape the tower before it collapses that its best to just follow him since he will make an exit path for them to follow

What we've learned from the game: 1. Never blow up an Italian restaurant. 2. *NEVER* angry an Italian. 3. If you see an anxious italian rushing at you, you're dead. Edit: Wtf that was just a cringy comment i made while i was sleepy Edit: ok this got too many likes but still ty

At 7:12 I didn’t notice but once Peppino is beating Pizzahead into the sky, the sprites that are shown of him aren’t random and they cycle in a circular counter clock wise motion. It’s a cool detail which I didn’t realize till now and is visually pleasing.

I love the face Pizzaface makes when he does the Forknight attack, he just looks and goes “Oh jesus, did I do that?”

Peppinos reaction to boss rush is how I feel when I have to rematch every boss again

This is one of my favorite video game villain twists I've seen in a while! Pizzaface feels like such a standard "big bad" sort of villain, that the fact that he was the robot façade of a super chaotic and goofy character was such a strange change of pace that it's sort of refreshing. It's also nice that they didn't go too over the top with the reveal; it's just a fun character reveal that feels completely in line with what little story there is in this game. And the music of phase 2 is a nice little cherry on top.

Ok so this is the best use of the Boss Rematch trope right? It's not tedious, it's satisfying, and you still get to fight all of the phases from the previous fights. The fact that Peppino is as tired as the player is at the idea of a boss gauntlet just makes this fight perfect

3:30 the most cathartic moment in gaming history.

This ending has to be the most satisfying thing in the game. It’s clear that this poor pizza joint owner has been pushed to his limits. He’s over it, he’s done, and he sure as hell is on the brink of having a mental breakdown. The thing that pushes him over the edge is Pizza forcing him to go through the bosses again. It’s no longer a scream of fear, but of pure unfiltered rage and stress. He’s over this bullshit and by damn is he not going to give any of these idiots a chance to fight anymore

3:30 At that moment, Peppino reached heights of RAGE and HATRED so pure that even the Doom Slayer was kinda impressed.

Hell, Peppino is truly beyond of an Avengers level threat I mean, the dude yelled so loud and intense that he caused the weather to rain and suplexed Pizza Clown so hard he ended up destroying the Pizza Tower. I don't know how big is the Tower, but taking in mind it contains a whole castle, a dungeon, a desert, a farm, a pirate ship, a forest, a city, a beach, a battlefield, the SPACE and goddamn paralel universe (If you count the extra zones as tiny universes), we can believe that the place is really huge, and Peppino destroyed and escape through it all before the tower collapse entirely.

5:37 that timing tho

I love seeing Peppino's demeanor go from reluctant and afraid to just pure righteous Italian anger in these fights

I like it when a final boss fight makes you overpowered but still doesn’t just hand the fight to you. Like here it gives you a 4x more powerful attack, but you still have the same health, and it forces you through the whole boss rush with that health. You still have to put in effort.

So you know how all the bosses have a second, 'enraged' phase once you wear down their first health bar? Well, Peppino has one too.

It's been a long time since a video game had me experience something close to this. Pizza Tower blew me away, and went above and beyond my expectations. Fucking masterpiece

I was NOT expecting the last phase of this boss to be so climactic and epic, but I'm not complaining AT ALL, holy shit. This exceeded my expectations by thousands, especially the music.

I love how in the second phase, the boss is not taking the fight seriously at all, and you can tell

7:13 we will never know how peppino uses the infinite combo but we better wont question it

As someone who’s been watching indie games from the sidelines I LOVE this game design wise. Peppino and the rest of the bosses all ooze personality. They don't feel like soulless characters meant to sell merch and have big KZfaqrs screaming about it like Poppy Playtime, Bendy, and Garden of Banban. In other words, it feels like actual passion went into these characters which Is a breath of fresh air.

The pizza guy is genuinely creepy I love Peppinos reaction to having to fight all the bosses again and the moment I saw the final beam I knew Yep this is the part where we dash through the entire building to get out before it collapses overall a great ending to a great game

I love how the music is timed in a way that the ‘The Death I Deservioli’ motif comes in around the time you reach Vigilante.

8:10 Peppino: So guys, we need to get outta here, I just destroyed the last support beam this tower had. Gustavo and Mr Stick: You WHAT!?

2:20 I need this song in my playlist ASAP

I love how after Peppino escapes he’s just a bit out of breath like “what a day!”

I love how he's angry not because of justice or anything, he's just pissed off because of all the bullshit he's been put through

Bosses: wait, this isn't my boss theme Peppino: no, it's MINE

3:30 Peppino unleashes "The Raging Italian"

7:14 Peppino Goes Senator Armstrong

I love how Peppino’s primal scream of rage turns it from a 5v1 boss rush into a 1v1 beat down.

This game being early 90s cartoon styled was very beneficial for the final boss. Pizza Face's true form being nothing but a cute little pizza mascot who is able to make the whole battlefield a chaotic mess.

2:23 I can’t get enough of this music. So good.

I like how Peppino's indestructibility can literally be described as "Too angry to die"

respect to that one guy for trying to help peppino fight and never stopping despite the constant getting thrown off a building.

It's awesome that Peppino doesn't get any sort of special power to beat the boss, he just absolutely goes NUTS! Peppino is a true force of nature

kratos has spartan rage but peppino has... *ITALIAN RAGE*

im amazed how much range this game has. its mostly over the top and cartoony but somehow managers to feel super epic and serious the few times it needs to

This is one of the best final battles in any indie game I’ve seen. The setting at the top of the tower with the storm, the fantastically UNHINGED music, peppino’s rage, pizzahead’s insanity, the boss rush, and the end where peppino sends him head first into the tower leading to that escape. The atmosphere is just so unbelievably perfect

3:30 This is the moment when pizza face realized what he just unleashed upon this world

You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you’re capable of great violence, if you’re not capable of violence you’re not peaceful, you’re harmless. And Peppino is bringing some Violence.

I love how this game still doesn't take itself seriously, even at the final boss

Perfect cut image and timing 6:12

13:34 that sync is STUCK IN MY HEA-

3:21 Peppino:War vet,Italian,one pissed off pizano

3:28 you can tell by his scream that Peppino has had enough and is gonna take matters into his own hands.

6:00 that laugh was personal

Pizzaface is the type of guy that would blow smoke out of his ears when he’s angry

3:35 that is what i like to call "the italian rage"

I suppose it’s fitting for the final boss to have straight up toon force powers because it’s so powerful.

The animations in this game are just mind-blowingly good. Every frame is hilarious.

My god. Peppino has master the ultimate power. Gamer Rage

Peppino, Ashura, Samus Aran... When the enemy's hubris put them to their limit, the result is always the same.

The game itself looks so simple, yet you can not only clearly SEE, but FEEL Peppino's rage once each boss appears, and the pleasure of erradicating them for good, and oooh how that counter-clockwise demolition of pizzaface is done! Like if Peppino is reversing everything that this guy had done

never let the haters tell u there's no time for a primo burg

Holy shit, i though the full game was going to be mid but jesus this is just so fun! And the soundtrack is unexpectedly really good.

3:00 what did he pull out of the ground💀

3:56 When Peppino walk, he does Moe's self defense dance

The Number One Rule We All Learned While Playing This Game: *DO NOT MESS WITH AN ITALIAN AND HIS RESTAURANT*

I'm so in love with Peppino absolutely fucking losing it. After this entire game, after so much intensity and anxiety, after each worried expression and grief from Peppino at having to do more, both him and us get the catharsis of watching him beat the hell out of each boss without holding back. Peppino deserves that moment more than most protagonists and I mean it.

Wow...Peppino went full anime with that last part of the boss fight, didn't he?

I loved the part where Peppino said "It's Pizza Time!" and beat the shit out of everyone

13:41 It's so epic developers made reference to the sage tutorial

Noise is happy that Noisette didnt escape

3:34 to 3:37 is the basically infinite combo

0:57 Peppino looking at his restaurant in the distance like it has one of those "Do It For Her" signs over it

I like how the idle and walking animations change for peppino during the boss rush to just pure anger and rage

Man unironically this is one of those final bosses which make me feel climactic and epic alongside Yuyuko Saigyouji, Senator Armstrong, and The Hollow Knight.

2:10 peppino hit pizza face so hard that I lost my connection to internet for a couple of seconds

the most epic part starts at 3:12

At 3:30, you can obviously tell Peppino is so done with all this bull shit with a raging shriek. His shriek was so powerful, he created a god damn thunderstorm and controls the lightning. Not to mention that his scream also made the moon into an eclipse. He then beats the actual hell out of all the bosses till the point where their balls get obliterated. This game is so great it should be on more platforms other than steam.

I really like how this finale seems to mirror Majora in a way: First phase is just a floating mask, second phase is the goofy one and in the third phase we get to see PEPPINO'S WRATH, immaculately reflected in the soundtrack. Watching Peppino literally take matters into his own hands and beat the living crap out of his anxiety was also a satisfying and strangely motivational experience. I gotta say I had my reservations about this game at first, but now I think it's truly a work of art.

11:05 I NEED IT no I don’t I NEED IT No I don’t!

3:21: *loss of breath* *meh...* *woag.* *screams from hell* *laughter* *YAWCCHHHHH!!!!* *sounds of punching*

9:23 did Fake Peppino just say Brother!?

Mess with Peppino And you'll have a gravestone pizza served.

One of the best final boss battles in gaming history

14:04 please tell me I wasn't the only one who hoped peppino was gonna do a super taunt then walk off

When Peppino screams he it is as if he is saying "You have no idea how much pain you put me through but don't worry your about to".

13:48 ending

8:30 the music synced so well to the shotgun blast it's not even funny

0:45 The start of the bossfight

First Phase looks like Mario World Bowser or at least it looks like similar where Pizza Face summons enemies so you throw them back at him to stun him and damage him. Second Phase is just as its theme suggests goofy one where Pizza Face True Form appears and does all kinds of wacky stuff. Then Third Phase is different yes its boss rush but in different way instead of fighting either bit stronger or weaker/ressurected previous bosses with same or less HP. Instead Peppino gets Enraged that he gets so powerful that he can take multiple hitpoints in one cycle, madness. And Pizza Face is quite the troll where its more of comic relief as on its own is quite not impressive in battle its just taunting you

This is quite possibly THE best boss I’ve ever faced in a platformer, maybe even just the best boss I’ve ever fought. I love the first phase for giving you a simple but fun way to beat the crap out of the villain that has been with us ever since 2020. I love the second phase for being difficult in the funnest way possible, and the creativity with the attacks Pizzaface throws at you. I love the rematches for how much of a power-trip it was and the pure dopamine kicking ALL of the asses that I personally struggled with (Except fake peppino, he was pretty easy). And I LOVE the escape at the end, showing all of the foes and mechanics into one big PIZZA TIME!!! 17/10 Best fucking game ever

7:29 primary lotus?

4:46, Then the Noise realized his mistakes, for Peppino was actually very powerful. Knowing this knowledge, he shit his pants when he saw the Pepperman and the Vigilante get absolutely destroyed. With all of his might, he acted like the biggest son of a bitch ever. Sadly for the Noise, this wasn't enough. Peppino was done with his shit and pounded him. Then was Fake Peppino.

You could honestly feel peppino's rage when all the bosses came back up. And then the music just gives you this feeling of "You've beat these guys before! Show em what your made of!!" Honestly a really good game even though I don't have enough money to buy it.

This entire boss fight is PEPPINO HAS HAD ENOUGH
