There’s no damage and no death: running into enemies or falling into a pit only sets the player back a couple of seconds. Peppino will run right up the walls and barrel through obstacles with a single button press. It’s very easy to go fast in Pizza Tower. The game’s greatest strength, setting aside its wonderfully twisted animation and suspiciously good music, is its approachability. But unlike Wario Land, the core of Pizza Tower is Sonic’s trademark speed. He can “transform” when hit by certain enemy attacks, just like Wario, and his levels end in a timed escape sequence similar to the ones in Wario Land 4. Its hero, Peppino Spaghetti, is a portly pizza chef who can run at the speed of sound, and is always on the verge of a stress-induced heart attack. Outwardly, Pizza Tower is an off-brand Wario Land, another “no games” series. And one of the demos once shown at this event has recently released in full… The Sonic Amateur Games Expo (or SAGE) is a whole yearly event dedicated to making the games SEGA won’t. Sonic Mania is also worth mentioning – the best modern Sonic sidescroller is completely fanmade. Freedom Planet is the most well-known indie version of classic Sonic, which performed well enough to earn an equally-strong sequel. The “Sonic-like” is a classic variety of indie game, some of which have found success. The cycle continues.įor this reason, ailing Sonic fans often try to make their own games. Instead, they’re a mysterious third kind of game that feels like a mishmash of the other two that neither group likes, and doesn’t even include a Chao Garden. Modern Sonic releases are neither of these. The second is fans of Sonic Adventure, who grew up with the series’ 3D premiere and wouldn’t mind having some more. The first is fans of the classic sidescrollers like Sonic 3 (and Knuckles), which simply don’t get made anymore. Sonic fans are divided into two main groups. Of course, there’s one fanbase that tends to have things rougher than the rest of ’em: the Sonic fanbase. And fans of Blizzard games have been suffering for years now, though perhaps not as much as its underpaid, molested developers. Still others are unrecognizable next to their glory days, like fans of early Paper Mario or Plants vs. Others have had their series destroyed by modern business practices, like poor old Halo.
There are the “no games” variety of fans, like for F-Zero or Mother. Some video game fans have it harder than others.
