The seemingly unremarkable gameplay and almost no elaborate background story are actually not as simple as everyone thinks. “Pizza Tower” relies on its unique cartoon style to stand out among a number of outstanding independent games, and is known as A retro and crazy weird game. It can be seen from the game characters and level art design that this game is full of weird and crazy hand-drawn animations, giving people a magical gaming experience.
