About the Game

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Pizza Hero, the exciting new shoot 'em up roguelite that puts a delicious twist on the genre! In this game, you'll play as a brave pizza who must defend the world from an invasion of enemies.




As you battle your way through the game, you'll have the opportunity to choose from a variety of different toppings that will grant you special abilities. For example, selecting pepperoni will give you a grenade, allowing you to deal splash damage. Or, if you're feeling saucy, you can choose blue cheese to create a pungent perimeter around your pizza, damaging any foes that come too close.

GAMEPLAY

Pizza Hero is a swarm survivor, meaning that you'll need to use all of your skills and strategies to take down waves of relentless enemies. With randomly generated levels and power-ups, no two playthroughs are ever the same. To help you in your quest, the game features an auto-rotate feature that allows you to easily switch between targeting groups without having to manually rotate.


So if you're ready to rise to the challenge and defend the world from the forces of evil, play Pizza Hero now!
