I came in expecting some sort of puzzle game about pizza, but it turned into so much more. It's a lesson that we all should learn. I'd highly recommend this for anyone looking for a surprisingly moving story in under an hour. Great game!
Introspection through pizza. Played through at a friend's house and lost my mind. Hard recommend if you want a compelling journey in about half an hour's time
This game is such an expertly crafted weird little gem. Perfectly artisanal and high quality ingredients. But I gotta know...do you guys have a band camp? I really love that main menu theme
Well I did it. I went back and got every worse ending to 100% the game. I absolutely adore this game and wish I could erase every memory of it from my mind in order to experience it again for the first time.
It felt fitting to play this on Father's day. I loved the eery, uneasy tone of this game--the music and cracked screen effects raise the tension to the next level. I really felt the same confusion and horror of the narrator as the scene repeated itself in unpredictable ways and he fell deeper and deeper into the time/space loop. Even though there are limited selection options and endings in this game, each scene feels fresh because of the new visual/textual clues. On another note, I wish more dads were able to come to the realizations the narrator did (albeit through supernatural means) and tried to make amends.
Realization that the man in the story needs to come to: there are anti-male developers who want to paint men as the villains when in their very stories the father is sympathetic character who tries to do what's right while his daughter is snooty and angry for no reason.
The game serves as a giant apologia for father-hate and man-hate. "Oh I'm not angry at men in my family because I'm a bad person, I'm angry at them because THEY'RE a bad person" that's not how it works jack. Anger is the emotion of the bully, not the victim. Stop with the garbage, and the anti-male subtext.
Game should autosave your progress at the beginning of every timeloop. When you start again after closing click "Continue" from the main menu. If you fail and get a bad ending it will start you at the timeloop you were in before you failed so you can try again.
I guess I should be more clear. There are 2 types of endings to most of the timeloops. Bad ending and Worse ending. Bad ending will move you forward to the next timeloop, worse ending will start the timeloop again. If it seems like you keep losing even though you did everything right, you are actually making progress in the game.
Wow. I am absolutely amazed. I never thought I would cry for a game called Order a Pizza, but I did. I cried a bit, and I played it all in one sit because I needed to know how it would end. Thank you so much for this game!!
I really loved playing this game. It's such a beautifully done visual novel and it's amazing that this was made in such a short amount of time; there are a lot of bad game jam games out there and this one is as good as games that developers spend a year+ on. It's really worth playing.

Gave me a new philosophy on pizza
Good game, but there's quite a few typos.
Pizza is love, Pizza is life...
Pizza. Pizza, Pizza, Pizza! Pizza... PIZZA PIZZA!!! Pizza.
That was a 5 star trip, same as everyone enjoyed the deep emotional pizza
Pizza pizza pizza.

Expected some dumb little dating sim or somethin, got a surprisingly unpredictable character study. Art.
I just finished the game and it’s great. It’s marvelous in a small size. I loved it!

Thanks, so glad you liked it! We do in fact have a band camp here - https://rocketadrift.bandcamp.com/
I burst out laughing when I ordered a plain pizza with nothing on it, definitely the best ending by far and well worth the $2
Well I did it. I went back and got every worse ending to 100% the game. I absolutely adore this game and wish I could erase every memory of it from my mind in order to experience it again for the first time.
Thanks so much!
This game was pretty haunting. I enjoyed the way the game revealed details about the father, and foreshadowed exactly what sort of person he was.
The only bad thing about this game is that there was no option to put pineapple on the pizza :p.

lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
This game...what can I say, it was cheesy, saucy, doughy...it ruined my life. Great game though. Cute, simple, and short.
Trippy! I loved it :)
Well that was an interesting ride...Very nice!
Hi! This game looks fun. But how do I save? I lost a good chunk of play because I had no instructions.
Game should autosave your progress at the beginning of every timeloop. When you start again after closing click "Continue" from the main menu. If you fail and get a bad ending it will start you at the timeloop you were in before you failed so you can try again.
Thank you very much!
I ended up getting to an ending in one sitting, can't wait to try others! =D
I guess I should be more clear. There are 2 types of endings to most of the timeloops. Bad ending and Worse ending. Bad ending will move you forward to the next timeloop, worse ending will start the timeloop again.

Never has ordering a pizza been more stressful before
Great game!

Absolutely amazing, made me both laugh and cry.

p.s. Love your Abby voice. It's perfect!
This game is dope <3
This made me cry a little. Very good game, with a cool art style and good pacing. A short game.
