Why pizza? sees you helping an array of unwieldly delivery folks just trying to make their deliveries and get paid. Not the easiest task when you’re shaped like this.
Pizza delivery doesn’t seem like the best job when the hellish world is broken up into platforming segments filled with obstacles and dangerous tumbles. Still, in this climate, most of us know what it’s like to take what we can get just to keep our families afloat. This game captures that sensation by having you lug your struggling, broken body through several different deliveries, controlling your head, body, and limbs independently to get through. It’s hard and you’ll likely get hurt. Which feels a lot like many jobs folks are expected to do these days.
Controlling your three body areas makes every jump and movement a challenge, as you need to factor your head’s weight and the size of your neck into how you get around. Using your head as a grappling hook of sorts kinda works, but it can also get in the way in low spaces. You can swing your limbs at obstacles that get in the way, too, doing so as you use your body to get around. Managing all three will go a long way in keeping you working and an overpriced roof over your head. At least there’s a wonderfully absurd world out there to enjoy as you work. Assuming you can take the time away from your task to savor it without finding yourself out of a job.
Why pizza? is a silly experience that will have you laughing in frustration at times, which again, makes it eerily close to how work can feel for those of us struggling to survive.
Why pizza? is available now on Steam.
