Pizza Tower OST - Bye Bye There! (The Crumbling Tower of Pizza) 

Look, I don't care how powerful you are or how much time is left on that clock, you ARE gonna play another round of Golf. And I better see a Primo Burg

Don't cry because its over, smile because you're gonna go for P ranks now

Okay I love how if you look carefully, they are foreshadowing the escape sequence as you can spot various John Blocks placed throughout the lobbies which lets you know that getting out of this tower won't be a simple cutscene.

Five minutes seems like a pretty generous time limit until you realize the path that you need to take is far longer than you thought.

Don't cry because it's over. You can now play as the Noise

The song that gives the feeling that you just saved the damn universe and you just saved your rundown pizzeria. This is the best game ever made

I'm dumb. I just realized it's called Bye Bye There because of the "Hello there!" sample in regular Pizza Time.

Probably one of the best ways to integrate a level selection

I remember thinking 5 minutes would be a piece of cake. I was in the room just before the Tower Lobby when I realized I had 30 SECONDS LEFT. I suddenly found some arcane future sight that let me path my way to the very end with zero bonks. And, with 4 seconds left on the clock, I finally exhaled…

I p ranked this by complete accident after finishing the final boss for the first time lmao

The great thing is, from the very start, it's pretty easy to notice that the tower is actually one huge level.

I love how there's two ways you can interpret all the bosses following you.

The fact that Peppino definitely wants nothing to do with any of the bosses he just thrashed within an inch of their life BUT helps them out anyway is… kind of really sweet??

I think what makes this really special to me is that, if you were a true first time player like me, not even trying out the eggplant build or even the sage demos that started this entire journey, you'd most likely be a bumbling idiot at the start, even after the tutorial you'd be fumbling around crashing into every wall, getting stabbed, burnt, squashed and punted while you trip and fall through the first few levels...but as you ascend the tower, as the tower beats you down with everything it's got, you're only being molded by the obstacles in your path, understanding enemy behaviors, mastering basic movement and even learning more advanced techniques, be it via the pizza guides or through your own discovery, and it all surmounts to this. The final escape, the moment you destroy the last John, what would normally be a wave of fear blanketing your psyche is instead a wave of confidence, 5 floors of hell. 19 levels of torture, yet here you are, at the pinnacle of your potential. You've mastered the skills you were taught and learned a few more tricks along the way, the panic of the timer is all but gone. The tower no longer scares you. You are no longer a slave to fear. You made it to the top.

That final boss and escape came out of NOWHERE. Fucking blew me away with how intense and incredible it was. Pizza Tower is an instant masterpiece indie classic.
