Noise update
-----
The update is quite amazing honestly, the moveset is refined, like the gags with transformations and the inclusion of Noise Arts by the community is Unexpectancy moment

Doise is... a weird fight, but I like the inclusion of a random fan's recolors of characters

The tutorial is far too short in my opinion, the gremlin takes time to get used to and I had to experiment far more in John Gutter to understand the mechanics

And final fight is something to say the least, and exactly what I expected of Noise

So
***
Final verdict: I feel nothing.
***

Don't get me wrong, the update IS fun, the moveset is unique and energetic and allows for some nutty tricks, but nothing actually feels rewarding or justified

The intro cutscene already ruins half of what made playing with Peppino fun: You are saving your pizzeria from getting blown to smithereens by a giant living pizza
With Noise? He just shows up without a word and goes "Yeah I'll destroy that", it doesn't even feel like he does it for funzies

Those P-ranks don't feel the same anymore, they're not earned by a chef who wants to not only perfect pizzas but also his adventure, they're "earned" by a gremlin that doesn't actually care about them
Bosses are not elite henchmen hired by Pizzaface to stop Peppino from progressing in the Tower, they're random stragglers Noise doesn't want to waste time with, poor Pep
The final escape is just hollow, both in metaphorical and literal sense. You accomplished nothing, you destroyed everything, and yet you're meant to be happy about it
Even the Chef Tasks don't bring out any emotion, not even simple "Alright that's done and dusted", and if something as simple as that doesn't make you feel anything you start to wonder: Was Noise actually ever meant to be played?

Noise doesn't care about anything, and as such you don't care either.

The ending seals the coffin. You didn't take on the Pizza Tower, You were not ravaging through it. You didn't destroy it in the end. You didn't even FIND it. All that was just a theatrical play with no real value.

Sorry, as much as I love Pizza Tower and had fun with the update, I just cannot recommend to play Noise to anyone.
Just stick with Peppino.



Launch Day review:
-----
Right off the bat: I've been following the progress of the game a bit, played the SAGE 2019 Demo, seen gameplay vids of Patreon builds I wish I had access to earlier, and holy hell PTG just OBLITERATED my expectations with the full release

Pizza Tower is THE BEST platformer I have played since the Wario Land series, high speed, many different moves, unique level designs, it's own version of H-Hurry Up! that's COOL AS HELL, it's all here

The 90s aesthetic and animations really add soul to the game, the soundtrack is one of the best I have ever heard sizing up to Banjo-Kazooie's which is really high in my list, the movement is really fun even at high speeds and the level designs have something for both speedrunners and explorers

Complaints? NONE. The only thing that can AT BEST inconvienience you is only AND ONLY the keyboard that just doesn't wanna work properly (Own experience)

You made the most iconic and beloved games and franchises that revolutionized gaming.
You made the most successful gaming platform to ever exist where anyone can publish games.
And despite all that, you treat your very own games like crap.

TF2 is a timeless masterpiece, with it's iconic artstyle and even more iconic in-game interactions, it is truly a game anyone can enjoy
But that is not the case anymore.
Bots are rampaging the servers making the MAIN GAMEMODE OF THE GAME UNPLAYABLE.
They spam racial slurs, ads and abuse voice chat.
The hosters of the bots are impersonating other people, doxxing, DDOS and even SWATting.
LITERAL. CRIMES.
And you do nothing about it. Just casually sweeping it under the rug and only adding more microtransactions to make you money.
And you started making ANOTHER HERO-BASED SHOOTER.
WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING THE STATE OF THE PREVIOUS, FAR MORE SUCCESSFUL ONE.

Valve. Get up. GET. UP. Stop hiding and pretending like there's nothing wrong with TF2. When in fact it's suffering slow and painful death. Because of you.

The game itself is fun, it's just the devs that ruined it with the P2W mechanic

Sama gra jest fajna, ale to twórcy ją zniszczyli mehaniką P2W

Игра сама по себе классная, но это разработчики её убили механикой P2W

Best free Bullet Hell MMO you can play :)

The BEST game if you wanna make scenes, self-made vehicles or just have crazy fun, definetly recomend it :)

САМАЯ лучшая игра если хочеш делать сцены, транспорты своими руками или просто иметь сумашедшее веселие, точно рекомендую :)

NAJLEPSZA gra jeżeli chcesz robić scenki, pojazdy własnymi rękoma albo po prostu mieć szaloną zabawę, na pewno polecam :)

Awesome game as for only 4 developers, recommend it :)

Better than GTA V

Для настоящих русских

Отличная игра, рекомендую 👍😄

Great game, recommend it 👍😄

Niezła gra, polecam 👍😄
