Unfinished? Not on my watch!

This page lists all prerelease builds of Pizza Tower released before the final release. Build revisions under the same name are grouped together.
Public Builds
Everything listed here are prerelease builds that have been released to the public, either during a special event or as a standalone demo.
Title | Release date | File names & revisions | Notes | Cover |
---|---|---|---|---|
Early Test Build | July 15th, 2018 |
pizzatowerearlybuildtest.zip |
First publicly released prerelease build(s), which were once downloadable only on the Pizza Tower Discord through a Dropbox link, showing off the direction the game was headed towards. (It took a complete 180 soon after.) | N/A |
Halloween Demo | October 31st, 2018 | PizzaTowerHalloweenDemo.zip | The very first "Demo" build of the game, released on itch.io on Halloween of 2018. Featuring a overhaul to Peppino's moveset which included a short-range attack, that being the now unused Slap, and a completely new level and a boss fight with Pepperman. | N/A |
Demo 2 | December 5th, 2018 |
pizzatowerdemo2.zip |
The second "Demo" build of the game, released at the very start of December of 2018. This time, two new levels (One of them being a redesign of the level already present in the prior Demo build.) and associated timed-challenge levels were added, those being "Ancient" and "Factory", alongside that, new sounds were added to the game, some remaining in the game until SAGE. | |
Christmas Race | December 21st, 2018 | grinch.rar | Only available for a very limited time while a race of the same name was taking place. Build was delisted from Dropbox sometime later. Notable for being the only build compressed in a .rar format to lock the build's contents behind a password (pizzabinch). The first three people to have completed the Race and shown a screenshot to McPig (At the time, PTG) of the ending screen would've received Patreon access for a full month. | N/A |
GOLF | April 1st, 2019 | GOLF.zip | Released as an April Fools joke, it introuced a brand new Golf mechanic. That Golf mechanic would've then received a full overhaul and be put into the final Game... And the Noise makes his first public playable debut in this demo too. | |
SAGE 2019 Demo | September 26th, 2019 |
PizzaTowerSAGE2019_v12.zip |
Released on SAGE 2019, This build showed far more drastic changes to the game, now being a far smoother and fast paced platformer. Peppino received a Blue outfit (Which was broken in v13, soon fixed in v13b) to go with the Sonic-theme of SAGE, and Snick (It's him!) was added as a temporary playable character exclusive to the demo, who had small cameos in the final game. The demo also had a contest about... Screaming. 10 people who shattered their lungs (And used the power of editing) would've won the contest. One of the screams in particular was used for when Peppino or Snick entered the Firebutt/Firefur transformation, and the rest of the screams had a small chance of playing when enemies were killed. | |
Noise's Hardoween | October 30th, 2019 | PizzaTower_Hardoween2019.zip | Released a day before Halloween, the only playable character in this build was The Noise, and Pizzascare makes it's debut in this demo as a harder version of Pizzascape, featuring completely new decorations which were made by several members of the official Pizza Tower Discord in a contest. | |
Peppino's Xmas Break | December 30th, 2019 | PizzaTower_xmasv22.zip | The final public demo of the game. Released 5 days after Christmas, introduced a harder re-skin of Bloodsauce Dungeon, named "Strongcold". Just like Hardoween, there was also a contest involved in the decorations, and the Toppins got Christmas-Themed reskins. |
Patreon Builds
Everything listed here are builds that were exclusively released to the game's Patrons. Starting December 13th 2018, after the plans for a Kickstarter fell through, McPig decided to fund the game entirely through Patreon with one of the rewards giving Weenie tier and Cool tier Patrons access to Patreon builds that would get released without a schedule.
Between January 12th and July 3rd, 2019, builds were released through Dropbox. Starting with the release of Blue Block Land v2, all builds would be uploaded to itch.io.
The ability to subscribe ended in December 2022 as development was wrapping up.

Level Editor
These are Level Editor builds released by Sertif, with approval and additional resources given by McPig. The Level Editor is a series of builds that, as the name suggests, adds a level editor to the game, using Boss v12 as a base. No level editor features would be featured in the final game, but some of its functionality was restored in Pumpkin Hunt, hinting at a possible comeback of the Level Editor for the final game.
