Cheeseslime

"Burble? Burple blorp? Gloop."
— A Cheeseslime.

Cheeseslimes are enemies in Pizza Tower.

Description

Cheeseslimes are shiny gooey yellow cheese creatures with two bagged eyes and a gaping black mouth. They don't have any visible limbs, so it just slides around, though in some cases they've been shown with retractable cheese arms.

Behavior

"Totally useless. Cannon fodder. These guys are basically just strolling around, not aware that a deranged Italian man is destroying their home."
— The manual.

Cheeseslimes ooze around and don't hurt the player upon contact.

Appearances

Cheeseslimes appear in every level, excluding tutorial and most bosses. One Cheeseslime is always in the first room in every level. See List of Levels.

Trivia

• Cheeseslimes once had a full defeat animation that has went unused since the SAGE 2019 Demo.
• In PT_Eggplantv15 at the beginning of couple of the levels, a Cheeseslime was present with a green color. This Cheeseslime has been named Snotty. In the final game, Snotty only appears in the Slum section of the Hub, and has a more distinct green color.
• In Noise's Hardoween, Cheeseslimes were recolored blue. This is mostly likely a reference to blue cheese.
• In the Preearlytestbuild, Cheeseslimes were able to hurt the player if touched from the side.
• Cheeseslimes are the only enemies in the Earlytestbuild that can be properly defeated, though no Pizza Points are given.
• Cheeseslimes are also the only enemies in the entire game to appear in every stage, excluding bosses.
• Cheeseslime's Heat Meter attack was swinging a wooden bat at the player.
• The reason why the first room of every level has a Cheeseslime is likely because getting a P-rank requires starting a combo in the first room of the level (and keeping the combo for the entire level).
