Game Progression

From Pizza Tower Wiki

Game Progression refers to the completion percentage of a particular save file in the file select, titled "Tower Status", in Pizza Tower.

Percentage System

The percentage of the completion is based on the progress of each main objective in the game:

  • Toppins collected (95 in total, grants a total of 32% (32.09%) towards the Tower Status)
  • Secrets accessed (57 in total, grants a total of 19% (19.52%) towards the Tower Status)
  • Tower Secret Treasures collected (19 in total, grants a total of 6% (6.51%) towards the Tower Status)
  • Levels beaten (20 in total, grants a total of 6% (6.85%) towards the Tower Status)
  • Bosses beaten (5 in total, grants a total of 1% (1.71%) towards the Tower Status)
  • C, B, A and S Ranks obtained (96 in total, collecting a higher rank also grants the lower ranks as well towards the Tower Status, grants a total of 32% (32.53%) towards the Tower Status)
  • Completing all 72 Chef Tasks and getting a P-rank in all stages (grants an additional 1% to the Tower Status, bringing the final percentage to 101%)

Each main objective completed, of which there are 292 total, grants ~0.3% (0.3425%) towards the Tower Status, which is then rounded down to the nearest percent to get the final Tower Status.

Final Rankings

After beating the game, credits are shown, after which a final ranking for the entire file is given. These rankings are given by meeting certain percentage criteria in the Tower Status. The judgement screen can be improved by completing the game more; however, some are only given if the game was completed fast enough.

Peppino’s Final Judgement (Peppino's Rankings)

You Suck!

Peppino smiles and gives a double thumbs up. This ranking is earned by finishing the game with a Tower Status below 50%. The background is a combination of all the letters of the words "YOU SUCK", and Peppino's face.

Confused?

Peppino stands next to a Cheeseslime, pointing at it and questioning the player if they think that not killing enemies gives points. This ranking is earned by finishing the game with a Tower Status between 50% to 60%. The background is a combination of question marks and X marks in black and white, the word WHAT?, the word UH?, and Cheeseslimes.

That’s the One, Officer!!

Peppino, bruised and with tears shooting from his eyes, points at the player, yelling for their arrest, as a police pig similar to Hamkuff glares at them from afar. This ranking is earned by finishing the game with a Tower Status between 61% to 71%. The background is a combination of singular stars, multiple stars, a hashtag, a band-aid, the word OUCH!, and two faces expressing agony from Peppino.

No Judgement

Peppino shrugs towards the screen, having no clue what ranking the player deserves. This ranking is earned by finishing the game with a Tower Status between 72% to 82%. The background is a combination of various dots, circles, and lines differentiating in shape and size.

Not Bad... Not Bad at All!

Peppino gives a comically large thumbs up towards the screen with a sly, confident look on his face. This ranking is earned by finishing the game with a Tower Status between 83% to 94%. The background is a combination of a thumbs-up, a face with a teething smile, and the words NICE, GOOD, YOU DID IT!, and WOOH!.

WOW

Peppino strikes a pose with a shocked expression, excited about the momentous occasion. This ranking is earned by finishing the game with a Tower Status of 95% or higher. The background is a combination of the various letters of the word "WOW" in yellow letters.

Holy Shit!!

Peppino stares shocked at a computer monitor, amazed and in awe at the player’s accomplishments. This ranking is earned by finishing the game for the first time on the save file in under 4 hours with a Tower Status of 95% or higher. The background is a combination of the words "HOLY" and "MOLY", two long eyeballs, a cloud, a halo and wings, and singular and multiple combinations of flying and non-flying piles of poop.

You are Quick as Hell!

Peppino stands far off, tired and sweating. This ranking is earned by finishing the game for the first time on the save file in under 2 hours with a Tower Status of 95% or lower (getting 95% or above will give the "Holy Shit!!" ranking instead). The background is a combination of a clock saying "00:00", a drawing of a man running, a puff of air, an arrow, a black and white checkered flag, and a clock.

The Reviews Are IN!! (The Noise's Rankings)

It's Noisette's Fault!

The Noise stares at the camera in a panic while pointing at Noisette, who is angrily crossing her arms and blowing a raspberry at him. This ranking is earned by finishing the game with a Tower Status below 50%. The background is various drawings of Noisette's face.

I'M GOING TO KILL YOU

The Noise gets right up into the player's face and furiously glares at them through the screen. This ranking is earned by finishing the game with a Tower Status between 50% to 60%. This is the only ranking in the game to lack a background, due to The Noise covering the entire screen.

Yeesh.

The Noise tugs on his cape while giving the player a look of disappointment. This ranking is earned by finishing the game with a Tower Status between 61% to 71%. The background is a combination of the various letters of the word "Yeesh" in gray letters.

I blame that guy...

The Noise points towards Gerome, who is staring back at him. Noisette is also seen standing beside The Noise in disappointment. This ranking is earned by finishing the game with a Tower Status between 72% to 82%. The background is a combination of a mop, bucket, wet floor sign, and Gerome's face.

Could have been better...

The Noise, with a sarcastic, dimwitted expression, shrugs at the player with one arm, while also giving them a thumbs down in the other. This ranking is earned by finishing the game with a Tower Status between 83% to 94%. The background is a combination of The Noise's face, an ellipsis, a line, and the words "OK" and "TRY AGAIN?".

I take all the credit, of course!

The Noise smugly side-eyes at the player while leaning back and checking his nails. This ranking is earned by finishing the game with a Tower Status of 95% or higher. The background is a combination of a trophy, a medal, Noise's face, and the words "NOISE" and "THE NOISE". Cheering is in place of the booing.

YOU DUN' IT!!!

The Noise rides on his skateboard while giving a peace sign in one hand and holding a pizza slice in the other while wearing green sunglasses and a purple crown. This ranking is earned by finishing the game for the first time on the save file in under 4 hours with a Tower Status of 95% or higher. The background is a combination of sunglasses, pizza, a peace sign, a crown, a skateboard, and the words "YOU DUN' IT!". Cheering is also in place of the booing.

Slow Down, Nerd!

The Noise stares at the player, angry and confused, motioning to the player that they need to stop. This ranking is earned by finishing the game for the first time on the save file in under 2 hours with a Tower Status of 95% or lower (getting 95% or above will give the "YOU DUN' IT!!!" ranking instead). The background is a combination of a speedometer, a clock, a controller, a book, the equation "2+2=", a computer with Noise's face on it, and various nerd faces.

Trivia

  • The "You Suck!" image has been in the files of the game for a long time in a single image form, rather than being animated.
  • At one point in the development, the rankings the player would receive were final, and to get a better one the player would need to start a new save file. A separate judgement exists for this as well, that went unused.
  • At one point in development, the final judgement was not chosen by the Tower Status, and instead there were different requirements for each judgement:
    • "That's the One, Officer!!" was supposed to be given after getting hit a very large amount of times.
    • "Confused?" was supposed to be given after completing the game, while killing the least amount of enemies.
    • "No Judgement" was supposed to be given after completing the game without receiving any other rank requirement.
  • The Pizzaboy image in the menu changes depending on the current tower status percent of the selected save file. This, however, is not related to the final judgement. Here's the list of the percentages:
    • 0-14% - Happy;
    • 15-28% - Sad;
    • 29-42% - Angry;
    • 43-57% - Mad;
    • 58-71% - Insane;
    • 72-85% - Handsome;
    • 86-99% - Skeleton;
    • 100% - John;
    • 101% - Golden John.
  • The absolute minimum percentage required to beat the game is 37% (37.67%) - this requires completing 19 stages and all 5 bosses with D ranks, and collecting 86 Toppins; taking at least 9 hits on the first four bosses and not obtaining any secrets or Tower Secret Treasures. Meanwhile, the absolute minimum percentage required to get the true ending is 44% (44.52%) - the extra ~7% is gained by collecting all 19 of the Tower Secret Treasures, and completing the remaining stage.
  • If a save file is modified to have a final judgement which does not exist, "Confused?" will be displayed on the save file in the main menu.
  • On Peppino's "You Suck!" sprite, there is an error in which the shading on his hands is transparent instead of the intended brown.
  • Modifying a save file to have a negative Tower Status will cause the Pizzaboy icon to cycle through all possible icons before stopping on its "Happy" icon when selecting the save file.
    • The percentage will also be displayed without the minus (for example, -63 will be displayed as 63).
  • While they do not contribute to the final Tower Status, additional icons can also appear beside the Pizzaboy icon on the save file in the file select screen if the player has completed additional objectives prior to finishing the game. These are:
    • Keeping Snotty alive and then rescuing him during The Crumbling Tower of Pizza, which gives Snotty's seal of approval to the right of the Pizzaboy icon.
    • Collecting all the Tower Secret Treasures, finishing the game, and resurrecting Pillar John in the game's true ending, which gives John's seal of approval to the left of the Pizzaboy icon.

Scrapped Judgement

This judgement was originally planned to be added to the full release of the game. It would have appeared if the player had already gotten a final judgement on the current save file and tried to get another one. This was scrapped because the developers thought it would turn people away from continuing playing.

It shows Peppino menacingly staring at the player with an expressionless, threatening face as the only color scheme is red and black.

An alternate version of the screen without the text shows up in Tricky Treat if the player attempts to leave the level via the entrance with the Ghost transformation, closing the game shortly after.
