so cool that vinny decided to put his facecam on the top right of the screen

this game wasn’t made for Vinny, Vinny was MADE for this game

I love how unhinged Peppino is. Constantly surfing the line between fear, stress and searing, white-hot, pant-shitting rage

Laughing at the jumpscare was something i didn't expect would be Vinny reaction to. But then again if a girl in bikini pops up Vinny would fear for his life.

I can't believe that after thousands and thousands of people asking and pestering him, he finally cave in. went ahead and pleased everybody. He's finally playing Undertale.

“I’ll make my own Wario Land, with blackjack and hookers!” - Pizza Tower Game Dev

I love how even after 3 years, Vinny still loves the grab>bite animation. Like, *Specifically* the bite animation.

I like how the main menu jumpscare genuinely scares Joel and Vinny just laughs at it

You just KNOW Peppino's pizza must slap

I can't believe he's finally playing Wario Land: Shake It

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.

2:31 Bro peppino saying “sheesh” at the most perfect time is fucking hilarious

It's the game Vinny was born to play.

Wait a sec, Vinny streamed this on Valentine's Day. Vinny and Pizza Tower truly are a perfect pair.

i can't believe that in the end Mort the Chicken would turn out to have a bigger impact on gaming history than Croc or Tomba

Vinny confirms all Italians have the same moveset as Peppino, that explains how he survives New York

Really enjoying that Vinny is actually catching on to the games mechanics and not just stumbling through until it works

I can't believe Pizza Tower dev actually got permission from the devs of Mort the Chicken to include him in the game. I was not expecting to see that chicken and that's rad as hell.

Pizza Tower is one of the most chaotic games ever in terms of visuals and mechanics. The animation is so smooth yet absolutely retro-like and crazy. I feel like I'm in a feverdream when playing it

Something I like about the Mort the Chicken cameo is that Mort’s game was honestly not that good. It’s nice to see even bad games get remembered and have their weird stuff put into other things. Everyone remembers the good games, but it’s good to preserve bad games as well. It helps that Mort is a lot of fun in Pizza Tower.

My dad actually gets called Peppino from time to time by his friends and I gotta say that this is very realistic from an italian man's perspective

"I think Pepperman just loves existing" Aint that an accurate description

There are more animation frames in Peppino's movement than stars in the universe, I love it

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

The internet has ruined me. Whenever I hear the "pizza, pasta" song I either think of the Miku cover, Spider-Man, or Tifa getting absolutely railed.

49:41 is one of the smoothest syncs i have ever fucking heard

With the pizza tower and the mario movie coming out this year, we can say 2023 is year of the Italian.

I love how Pepperman’s charge is just Wario’s attack

The parry button being the taunt button just makes too much sense.

"I don't even have the beans nearby chat, I lock them away. I don't remember the code!" This sounds like good lore for the next Vinesauce halloween Half-life mod.

the only game vinny is genuinely very good at just because it's italian

I like how this game incentivizes you to keep up your momentum even when you aren't on a hard time limit with the combo meter

24:29 the genuine excitement Vinny felt for discovering that secret put a smile on my face

Vinny LOVES pizza tower

48:50 Heh, pepino's face when you slip of a ledge during a mach run

It's such a relief that Bingle basically has the controls down, a good portion of Joey's stream was agonising.

The amount of times Vinny desperately tried to shine spark when he could have just wall run is too high to count

He actually played it again... He kept his promise

Seriously Pizza Tower is really one of those games that feels so damn satisfying to master. The skill ceiling in this game is nuts especially if you are going for S and P Ranks.

The animations of this game are so lively and cartoony, I love it. Like an episode of The Mighy Bee. Edit: My goodness, this game’s soundtrack sounds so much like Metroid Fusion sometimes.

I'm very glad we're getting more games in the Garliclike genre now.

My guess for the cameo that Vinny said he's doing at the end of the video is voicing a cat for Mewgenics (the next game from Edmund McMillen, the guy who made Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac). Edmund has been recently asking people on Twitter who they want to hear have a voice cameo in the game

Love that peppino keeps doing the no bitches face in the top right corner

Love how vinny went through the stages of grief leading up to finally playing this game

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.

vinny actually pulled off some god gamer parries during that last vigilante fight what the hell

I laughed at “Spine Shark” like 5 minutes too long, I guess after hearing so many people call it “Shine Spark” that just got me.

Peppino's absolutely enraged faces look like how I feel when I get angry.

8:09 Vinny's perfect timing

seeing vinny in the desert level acknowledging that he missed going inside the supermarkets with the topins in them while immediately running past *another* supermarket was maybe one of the more painful moments i've seen from him in a while

Vinny have you heard of this game called WarioLand: Shake It? It's pretty good I think you'd like it

Pasta man plays Pizza game

Love how it looks a lot like it was collaborated with Zeurel in MS Paint using only the single pixel pencil and color fill.

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.

You could feel the vinesauce community all waiting for this moment

Even when it's derivative, the art elevates this game into the stratosphere of indie game making. it lso helps that the gameplay is flawless.

Whenever Vinny thanks chat he always sounds like he's just was given something in public or something and has to take it otherwise he'd feel awkward if he refused.

29:19 39:08 lmao that Banjo-Tooie scream

the amount of chat memebers in this stream who had no idea about the pizza pasta song reacting to vinny saying one of the lyrics is always funny

1:07:04 If Vinny ever gets modded into this game, that scream needs to be used

Nice of Vinny to finally pay homage to this CLASSIC game. This was my childhood right here! (Shitposting aside I'm glad he's finally playing it, the final build of this game goes super hard.)

1:57:44 perfectly timed shots with the soundtrack

This is the most Vinny game I've ever seen. A true Italian game. The game does feel like a strange 90s cartoon. It feels like when I was a kid and had a fever dream about cartoons I watched back then.

I love how this game is simultaneously the best Wario game in years and the best Sonic game in years. Learning the level layout at your own pace before the pressure is on and you gotta go fast is such a genious idea.

Not sure if Vinny will get to see this, but if anyone gets a chance to bring up in chat, in each of the main "hub" worlds for each set of levels that Peppino returns to after finishing a level, there's a secret room in each (i.e there should be one right next to the Pepperman boss battle if you charge through the wall)

I enjoy Peppino's unmoving shirt patterns.

this game has top tier art and animation. I could look at it forever

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."

Vinny was referring to "The Bizarre Music and Sound Design of Wario Land 4" by geno7 towards the beginning there. Great video!

Vinny now LOVES Pizza tower

Vinny mentioned doing for a voice in an indie game. Edmund McMillan put out a call for recognizable names to do cat noises in Mewgenics a few days ago. So that's my best guess.

This game's soundtrack is exceptional.

to coerce vinny to try to do a lap 2 not because sadism but because the music is so fire its worth trying at least once

Every time I see Gustavo, his art design is straight out of "Sniz & Fondue" from Kablam. Big time nostalgia throwback on that one.

Peppino's faces are great

The music in this game is INSANE.

Peppino is such a good Catholic that he goes to Confession ten times a level. Maybe a little overkill there, brother.

As an Italian, I can confirm that we sense each other's presence. That's how I found Vinny in the first place, I spore networked

Anyone else feel like the game also took some inspiration from classic 2d sonic games. The emphasis on flow and speed, and the way the health system works feel very reminiscent of sonic

what perfect timing i literally just finished 100%ing the game

It really is fascinating to see how this game has evolved from it's various demos over the years.

"Wait there's more? There was more?! ohh man. God I haven't felt that way since Elden Ring" -Vinny, after his second attempt of a boss

Good on the Pizza Tower devs giving Vinny pizzapastalinguinefettuccine Vinesauce the game. Pretty genius move on their part

I heard Joel was more Italian than Vinny because Joel lives closer to Italy than Vinny does.

This isnt pizza tower. This is tower of pizza. Vinny will never play pizza tower

This game feels like a flash game (that made-by-one-guy sketch aesthetic) visually but fully realized in gameplay, animation, music, and overall development. I love it

i love vinny playing pizza tower

At long last, Mr. Pizzapasta has played the game made for him and literally nobody else but him.

dude vinny got so much more schmoovement at the game once that chat member mentioned that he lost the race vs the horse. probably because hes slowing down to keep exploring

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).

I love Peppino's personality, like, it's somehow unique in a way as if he had schizophrenia, anger and fear all at the same time.

I love how pizza tower is full of vinesauce humer

And thus the prophecy has come to pass

It's so much like Wario, with the time attack to exit the stage. This looks great.

I love how the game looks like it was made out of old clip art and drawn on MS Paint

Vinny is why I knew this game even existed, why I followed its development since 2019 and why I'm now so obsessed with the final build. Now he's here for the full course. Life is good! I don't even like pizza but this manic rush of 90's Nicktoon crack and Wario-tier jams is probably the immediate winner of 2023's GOTY for me.

Vinny makes being Italian sound cool

I love watching Vinny fumble with the controls at the start and acting like I wasn't worse

I really like how the first half of the boss fights teaches you all the patterns it can do, and then the second half mixes them around
