Pizza Tower just released on Steam and the platform game boasts an amazing soundtrack, '90s cartoon-like visuals, and inspirations making up great toppings.

This free update has seen Pizza Tower hit an all-new high on Steam, as the chart showing active players briefly turned into a vertical line, with 9,074 people playing the game at one time.

Pizza Tower has been in the making for about five years, so it's good to see its grand opening is getting business on Steam. Not only is it being played a lot, but it's also getting stellar ...

Pizza Tower (available on Steam) is a 2D platformer that tells the tale of a “surprisingly agile and powerful fat balding Italian” (the developer’s words, not mine) chef named Peppino Spaghetti.

Pizza Tower is now available on Steam for £16.75, and you can bet that it's going to inspire us to get booting up the GBA again. What do you make of Pizza Tower? Want to see it come to Switch?

Pizza Tower might be the best 2D platformer I've played since Hollow Knight, and if you want to restrict that to non-metroidvanias, I gotta go back to 2014's Shovel Knight for anything this good.
