Introduction

Pizza defender is a wave defender game where you have to defend against an unlimited number of enemies using your trusty pizza cutter and turret placements!

The game was created for Pizza Jam 2023 with the theme chosen being "A walking cellphone!?"

WARNING: The audio can be a bit loud so I suggest you turn your volume down before starting!

The game starts slow but has a steep difficulty curve!

Tips

Each wave you survive provides you with 10 health back to the castle, and each enemy killed provides you with £25.

Single turrets cost £50 and double turrets cost £125.

Double turrets fire twice the amount of bullets as single turrets and also have increased range!

Your castle health bar is displayed at the bottom, once this hits 0, it's game over!

Story

You and your pizza cutter are the pizza overlords last hope! 

You must defend the kingdom from the evil invasion by the walking cellphones!

Head Start

You can also start in "Head Start" mode which allows you get to the mayhem a lot quicker, starting you off at round 20 with some default placed turrets and a bit of cash!
