Performing well on a level would cause enemies to move faster and develop new attacks (such as Cheeseslimes attacking Peppino with a bat or Forknights using jetpacks to charge forward), but would grant more points when defeated. The Heat Meter was a mechanic introduced in Patreon demos released shortly before the game's release.The concept would later be re-used in the form of the "P-Rank" in the final game. When the latter was removed with the old system, the W-Rank was scrapped along with it. At one point, a "W-Rank" was considered, higher than S-Rank and obtained by having a high combo for the entirety of a level, which was accompanied by a new combo system.When they were redesigned to look more distinct, the mushroom Toppin had the smallest number of changes and his old design would be used as one of his taunts in the final game.
The Toppins originally had more basic designs that made them look more similar to each other, with the cheese having legs and the pineapple not wearing sunglasses.They were also originally in pizza boxes before being collected but the final game changes it so they are in cages, likely to make them easier to find.Additionally, one point in development saw the Toppins being used as a defense against Pizzaface during Pizza Time, where they would transform into Sentai-looking Topping Warriors who could be launched at enemies to kill them.In the final game, the Toppins give you money to open boss battles, and the Tower Secret Treasure is not connected to Pizza Time. The Toppins were originally conceptualized as obligatory pick-ups which the player had to collect, so that they could feed them to the level's Pillar John doing so would make him open the path to the Tower Secret Treasure which, when collected, would activate Pizza Time.Also pictured is the original HUD.Īs Pizza Tower was in development for five years, had a very open development cycle compared to other contemporary games, and even had multiple pre-release builds playable by backers (or for free for certain events such as SAGE or holidays), various ideas which were showcased and even included at certain points, but ultimately ended up subsequently scrapped or reworked enough to warrant its own page.
