Pizza Tower. At first glance this game looks like it has relatively little story.

We're showing cutscenes at the beginning of the game that practically tell us everything that we need to know.

It's the story of one man running around trying to save a struggling restaurant from an evil floating pizza

that's threatened in to blast his business with a laser.

It is a thin plot that merely serves as an excuse to kick off the action.

But oh no, friends, this game is so much deeper than that.

Hidden background, the developers have put a whole history here,

a history of betrayals, of war, of cloning.

And if you follow their clues, you'll see that our heroic chef

may just have been the true villain from the very beginning. Hello internet. Welcome to Game Theory. Better evidence, better theories, game theory. I hope you're

hungry loyal theorists because today we're serving up a slice of piping hot lore courtesy of Pizza Tower

The intensely viral indie smash hit that released back in January

I might be a little late to the party on this one, huh?

If I were the pizza delivery guy, this one would have to be free.

Now, for those you weren't keeping up with it during its development,

Pizza Tower is a frantic action platformer in the style of the Wario Land franchise.

Basically, the game's developer, McPigg, saw that Nintendo hadn't made a new Wario Land in over

a decade and said, fine, I'll do it myself.

Terrible, absolute garbage.

Anyway, five years and a whole lot of Patreon support later,

the game is here and the response has been overwhelmingly positive,

with Pizza Tower becoming one of the highest rated steam games
