A Review of Sugary Spire's Demo 

This one was a doozy to make, but it's all done! I stayed up extra late last night finishing everything up, and it all turned out wonderful! By the way, Sugary Spire devs, if any of you are watching and need another playtester, I'd love to help you guys out in anyway I can! EDIT: Since I've been getting a lot of comments about this, I thought I'd clarify that the Sugary Spire devs have confirmed that Pizzelle is transfem, but uses any pronouns. I only used she/her in the video because that's what the devs and wiki uses most often. I won't be responding to any more comments trying to correct me on this.

Hello! Sugary Spire Artist Dev here. Thank you so much for covering our fangame! And yeah a lot of the issues have been addressed and polished, along with some visuals updated. Can't wait to see your reaction for the full build!

Loved the editing, and thank you so much for checking out our demo! Hoping you check out the full thing when it comes out. Also, Sugarshack Mines is getting a complete redo and overhaul currently in the works, as it was evidently the weakest level in the demo. Hopefully most of your concerns (and everyone else's, lol) will be put to rest as we're changing up the gimmicks and making it overall a more fun and interesting level to play.

I love the tiny detail of all of the rooms having names. That is awesome.

Wow, this review was nothing short of perfezione! I admittedly was planning just to watch some playthroughs of Sugary Spire once it was officially released, but after watching this, you've fully convinced me to play it for myself (... whenever I'm able to completely P-rank Pizza Tower, of course). :') It's awesome to see how much energy and love has been put into everything: the artwork, music, gameplay, just the whole cake. And seeing the devs' responses makes it all the more exciting! Thanks for putting this out there; it's truly bellissimo work!

hi im a dev hello. I really like this video and shared it with the dev team server!! I really hope the people on the team with more authority than me can consider making you a playtester A few things I wanted to note: -a lot of aspects of sugary spire's demo are very outdated now as the demo was made quite a bit before pizza tower even released -Demo 2 isn't going to happen, the next public release is the full game -The controls have gotten heavily tweaked since the demos release and hopefully it will be just as fun as pizza tower to play -sugarshack mines is STILL getting redone we have a lot of reworking to do to make it fun Overall a very good review, I loved how well thought out everything here was and I'm glad you enjoyed the demo (even though it's super outdated atp)

Great video! I loved how the review covered each level personally. While the demo is really outdated nowdays, and some of the things mentioned in the videos are quite accurate with what we are going for in the future. Excited to see your opinion on the finished game!

To be fair it’s based off the older version of pizza tower so things are similar the sages controls

I think this video was absolutely fantastic and you did some justice to this delightfully delicious game! I'm personally really excited to see how the full release turns out as it has some serious potential to reach the highs of Pizza Tower! I absolutely adore Pizzelle btw as she's just so adorable (plus her being transfem just makes me super happy since I'm transfem myself)!

If you're having problems with controls, remember that Joy-cons(Nintendo switch controllers) buttons are mapped to actual key board keys so you can use them with ANY game!(as long as you have steam for some reason)I hope this bit of info helps you!(you can thank me later)

The custom title cards are a really nice touch

Really real nice review right here, gonna go check out Sugary Spire's ost now.

You definitely deserve more subs, you put a lot of effort into your vids!!!

Those Banana Fencers might be one of my favorite video game enemies of all time, they look so silly and i'm all here for it.

You are quite underrated, keep it up man!

HELLO SPEC I liked the video :3 THE EDITING IS REALLY GOOD!!

Very nice video! I heard of sugary spire before, but never played it or saw any gameplay, this video was my introduction to it and i think i should try it out now Also, i think the 13:35 move was inspired by the king of card's roll, in that game, if you try shoulder bashing while already shoulder bashing you would do a roll that destroys blocks and enemies without knocking you back.

i like your editing style and ur voice ngl, makes a good review vid : ) also i agree sweet release of death is a BANGER 💃💃💃

I can't wait for full release of this Sweet game, masterpiece. (sorry for the pun, i love them and i couldn't resist doing it)

amazing review!

Finally got around to playing it today and it's pretty fun! The dash slide momentum thing and lack of starting wallclimbs with a grab are actually issues taken from Pizza Tower's demos, but the limited wall climb seems to be new. The dash jump tumble serves a very similar purpose to the dash slide trick in PT, guess both games wanted an easier way to get speed quickly and took different approaches to it. Based on footage of the leaked build, pretty sure they've already changed Pizzelle's moveset to better match the full version of PT. Can't wait for the official release! Oh also, on the topic of the leaks and your hope for more horror, you're gonna LOVE the game's War equivalent

great vid mate.

You made up all of those names? They're so good! Gummy Harry is amazing

12:30 I actually couldn't find the first secret for the longest time and found the third easier since there was a downward slope and I was dashing

Wondering how Bloodsauce Dungeon and Sugarshack Mines are similar, yet opposites? Think of fantasy tropes! Dungeons? Mines with dwarves? A pretty simple idea to just change it to a different fantasy trope, but that REALLY turns the concept of Bloodsauce on its head!

Your voice is very calming

Fun fact: The S'more Knight enemy might be inspired by a modded Tabs unit by the same name.

Entryway became crunchy construction in the leaked build

7:23 Also the cherry bombs, which concept I do like.

Cant wait for Cottontaint (Pizzascare)

12:09 Sir Bannaners

If you grab then jump he will spin and give anyone Mach two instantly, this was very useful.

another thing pizzy has is the old roll move that peppino had in the older demos, such as sage. (where you press down on a slope to roll)

Glad to see the Wario games getting a lot of love lately.

Bro he needs sucribers. He posted over 140 vids and hes still at 140's.

I would willingly play through the entirety of Pizza Tower again (just did last night and probably will again today) and send you footage somehow, but unfortunately I have absolutely no space on my computer to record with (and again don't know how I would go about sending you the footage if I even could record) Also I agree that Pizzelle has worse controls than Peppino for the most part, but I LOVE that thing where if you grab an enemy while sprinting, you'll keep spinning with said enemy until you throw them. It's so fun to me, and I know they're changing most of the moveset, but I REALLY hope they don't remove that.

I think they should keep Pizzele's moveset as Peppino's 2022 one, with awful sliding, freezing when grab-breaking a block, and no superjump direction changes. Sets her apart from Peps.

sugary spire lap 4

how have I only now realised that you play as the Noise fighting Peppino. (or replicas or Alternate reality versions or something) someone smack me over the head with a hammer, maybe that will fix my stupid. I even already knew that the Noise preferred candy and sweets over pizza.

I completely agree with you on how platformers control worse on keyboards. Personally, I can't do platformers with a run button on keyboards so controller support is necessary for me.

11:40 I love how he casually says the pizza tower level name

Oh neat

woah underrated btw if you used the wiki for info i made a lot of stuff there lol

About the recording issue, I face the same thing. Easy fix tho, go to settings first. Change from fullscreen to window mode to fullscreen. Should fix it as long as you stay on the screen.

hmmmmm a pizza suit stuffed seems like a fnaf refrence

the man behind the slughter

Lore of A Review of Sugary Spire momentum 100

I totally agree for the control, the game looks amazing I can't wait for the final

"Here's the purple guy" - Spectern 2023

I played sugary spire before knowing pizza tower and I thought PT was a fan game of sugary spire

This is my first "pizza tower" game I played. And I say that I was always confused and frustrated by level design. But thats just my skill isue

12:22 we have a new p rank ender but this time its in a sugary spire

thought this guy would mention coneball at least once

Ngl the how this game handles Horror stuff and increasing it by each level, it feels like is a Kirby game

Fun Fact: Entryway is actually later confirmed to be named Crunchy Construction

18:15 B R I C K

Pizelle is a fan reinterpretation of a joke reinterpretation of a 90s pizza chain mascot who himself has been ressurected after decades of being absent I just thought that was neat

jarret

sugarshack mines is the proof that gustavo and mr stick leading the way is more important than you think

2:33. William Afton

Wonderful video! It’s cool to see another video on this game, considering the last competent one was a whopping 2 years ago. (P.S i don’t think pizzele is a woman lol)

Did you say it takes a little over an hour to beat? man i must suck it took me like 9. (i did do a floor a day and missed some toppins causing me to have to go back)

Look at the TV at 12:41 and you can see some more horror elements

4:02 pizzano cloud in background

gummy fish in sugarshack mines look like swedish fish which is a real gummy candy

no p in sugary spire!

First we have Pizza Tower, then Sugary Spire... Now all we need is Veggie Hideout.

I don't think sugary spire is out

4:12 “Confecti” translates to candy.

toppins = toppings, confecti = confections.

its just pizza tower demo 3 or whatever but sugarcoated

So pizza tower slows down when you record? I don't have to start recording for It to slow down, my PC is quite bad

Pizzelle (it's him)

If your pc is laggy, id recommend turning vsync on in settings, makes it way more bareable

We sugarcoated it

It would be fun if instead of the "Do" from Mario Sunshine in the title card, they used the "Bah" sound effect from New Soup

9:29 could u explain this one? Idk any dead guy in pizza suit in Pizza Tower

cant wait for the next demo to release, hopefully they dont do a tour de pizza and make pizzano playable in every demo only to remove him in the final build adn put him in a stupid dlc, like they did with the noise in the pizza tower

Pizelle is a Girl? I thought they were just the Noise with amnesia

Got any ideas for levels for this game

HER!?!?

I do like the lap 2 theme but you want to know what’s better? Pizzano’s escape theme it is amazing, take a listen: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BxrwxHl8evs.html

I looked up what the enemies are called that you didn't know what were called. The cherry bombs are actually called the "CharCherries", the bananers are actually called " Banana Knights", you were very close with the cotton wizards, but they're actually WITCHES, not wizards. The Daryls are actually called "Sluggies", and the Finnish fish are actually called the " Swedish Fish". Also, the train in sugarshack mines is called "the Applejim express"!

mmmm sugar

Pizzelle is actually a guy, since he is The Noise's swap counterpart.

Pizza Tower = Wario Sugary Spire = Mario

man its not even out yet lol

Uhhh U Accidentaly Put All The Subtitles At The Beggining Lol XD.

Hey! I'm more than happy to record some Pizza Tower gameplay for some awkward reason.

16:00 ... Honestly, I don't know their name either. I just call them "Cottones".

GET THIS MAN A GPU!!!!!

Can we get this game on PlayStation 4 by April?

my song is its sugar rush

one detail about the game that would help you get acquainted better: Sugary Spire is inspired by the April Fools demo which introduced the GOLF level. I'd recommend playing the GOLF Demo before the final fangame gets released

Btw there’s new level in game. It called “Sucrose Snowstorm” I wonder how will Pepperman’s parody look like here… Hmmmm… maybe- no! Or… I think… Yep! This will be caramelized apple. Why not? Ok, I’ll think carefully this time. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm… This can be… hmmm… nope. I don’t think this will be in game. Think, pumpkinhead. Think… Oh! I know what it is! It’s the Painter! Yes! The only enemy who is not food! YeeeeeeEEEEEeeeeEeess!

😎

Pineapple Pizza Spire

I DIDNT KNOW PIZZELE WAS A WOMAN! I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE AN ANIMATION WHERE SHE WAS VOICE ACTED AS A MAN!

i'm gonna sugarcoat it

What is the lore??? Last I checked pizzele was a guy and evil peppino was named "the cream puff" so I'm lost with the story :/
