While it can illustrate his current active power-up at times, it does lend itself more to ensuring even if the action is moving too fast, you can see exactly how your neurotic chef is handling the many unusual and extreme situations he finds himself in.
Perhaps nothing embodies this more than the television set shown in the top right of the screen which exists purely to show you Peppino’s emotional state.
While there are moments of quiet, especially when you’re navigating the danger-free Pizza Tower lobbies to enter new levels, there is a strong manic energy to the entire affair that comes from the extreme exaggeration on show. When Peppino dashes through levels at intense speed, it’s easy to spot the entire bodies of regular enemies scrunch up in horror at the idea of the impending collision, and despite everything being hand illustrated, there is no skimping out on granting personality and detail to even the most minor characters. His jaws, his arms, it seems any part of him is able to stretch and grow like rubber and this animation style extends to even simple enemies as well. Peppino himself can find his head growing larger than his body not only to express extreme fear or anger, but just as part of his regular movements as he utilizes his whole body as a weapon. Characters are illustrated with thin outlines but bodies that squash and stretch to absurd and hilarious degrees that often match their extreme emotional states. The first thing that will strike most players about the side-scrolling platformer Pizza Tower is its distinct art direction. Immediately losing his cool at the news, Peppino sprints over to the Pizza Tower in a frenzy, aiming to dismantle it before his business can be destroyed instead.
Something called a Pizza Tower looms over his business in the distance, and one day the owner Pizzaface floats over to brag about its intent to blast Peppino’s Pizza to smithereens. Peppino Spaghetti is the proprietor of a pizzeria that is a barely hanging in there, and unfortunately for this easily irritated and angered pizza chef, his woes expand beyond simple money troubles.
