About Pizzapocalypse
Pizzapocalypse is a cartoony 3D platformer created in twelve weeks by second‑year university students. The story follows a lone pizza chef who rebels against the Pizza Corps, a corporation that has replaced handmade pizza with canned alternatives.
The game consists of a single, visually varied level split into three distinct areas. Players can explore, collect toppings for high scores, or race for fast times while battling robot minions.
01 / THE GUIDE
Story and Setting
The narrative describes a town that has forgotten authentic pizza after the oppressive Pizza Corps introduced cheap, canned versions. A determined chef seeks to restore traditional Italian cuisine by delivering handmade pizza to loyal customers.
The town is presented as a corporation‑ruled environment with rooftops and three visually unique zones. Each zone offers its own aesthetic and platforming challenges for the player to navigate.
- Observe how each zone’s visual style hints at the type of platforming obstacle you’ll face.
- Compare the chef’s underdog motivation with classic rebellion stories for a fresh narrative perspective.

Gameplay Mechanics
Players control the chef, using a pizza to dash and bounce across rooftops while confronting robot minions. Exploration is encouraged through multiple paths and collectible toppings that affect the final score.
The design supports both thorough exploration for topping collection and speed‑run attempts that rely on mastering the dash‑and‑bounce toolkit.
- Try alternate routes to see which balance speed and topping yield best for you.
- Switch between dashing and bouncing in the same segment to notice which feels more natural for the obstacles.

Level Design
The entire experience takes place in one level divided into three distinct areas. Each area contains multiple paths, offering varied gameplay challenges and aesthetic differences.
Because the level is singular, players can revisit any section within the single level, allowing repeated attempts to improve scores or times.
- Sketch a quick map of each area to track which paths you have tried.
- Notice how environmental details shift between areas to anticipate new obstacle types.
