PizzaHero: Sea of Garbage

Only one button, only one direction and only one slice of pizza left.

Thats the idea behind PizzaHero. Now jump and try to avoid the toxic acid!

PizzaHero: Sea of Garbage is the first game I made and published. I made it for the gmtkjam 2019.

The main idea was to reference the "when there is only one piece of pizza left" meme, but from the viewpoint of the pizza.

My goal was to make typicall autoscroller / endless runer more engaging by introducing some form of instability and uncertainty. The games theme serves as a short reminder to recycle more and try to minimize waste.

GameDesign Thoughts (optional read, you can just play):

• Triangle Shape leads to nice physics interaction
• Charged jumps have lower and upper limits, scales linear
• You can chain charged jumps by holding space mid-air
• You can keep your momentum for longer jumps, but friction is low so you're character will always slide
• You have to make strategic decisions when to stay at the back of the screen and when to move forward
• Only space key is used to play
• Also the pizza slice is very cute

If you have any critique, feel free to leave me a comment :D
