I now understand what it's like to really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ suck at a game you adore

Pizza tower is unapologetic post-modern platforming ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ goodness. It's all at once aesthetically pleasing and filled to the brim with quirky animation, but it's also ugly in a way that kinda horse-shoes it into doubling down on how appealing it is.

I don't need to say ♥♥♥♥ about the music because I know you've already heard it before reading this. It's great and some of the tracks here I'm willing to say put even some of the greats to shame. ♥♥♥♥ had me bopping my head continuously after every play session

Now the unfortunate part of all this is that the gameplay is just too much for me and my slow decrepit rotting brain and hands. I love Pizza Tower, but Pizza Tower does not love me. I am simply not of the pedigree required to play this game in a way that makes it enjoyable. I'm the loser who regularly gets poor Peppino hurt all the time, never hitting a single S rank, struggling and crying and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ my pants during a mission. I liked playing it but I just cannot truly judge my experience because I suck too much ♥♥♥♥ at this game.

For now...

I can feel it in my bones that I will eventually come back to this game. It calls to me to improve to a level where I can squeeze what I can out of the levels and mechanics. I haven't had that feeling in a long time and I look forward to when I eventually give in and lock myself in my room for weeks on end grinding away at my rust.

Best track is Deep-Dish 9's. Guitar sounds like acid honey being poured sensually down my ear.
