Octobe22, also known as the Octobe22 Build is a build of Pizza Tower that was built in October of 2022. It is a build that gives a pretty close outline of the game, from the start to the final boss. Many things are still unfinished or require polish, but for all intents and purposes it is very close to the final game.

Gameplay

The gameplay is near identical to the final version, although with very minor differences. A noticeable visual difference is when preforming any attack moves, the player will have a blue trail behind them. This was carried over from Eggplant.

The window for parrying attacks and enemies is much larger than the final game. However, the player cannot parry every attack (i.e. The Noise's bombs).

Peppino

• When the player drifts into an enemy, it is unaffected and not defeated.
• Sliding off of a ledge will not put the player into a dive, but instead will make them fall until they hit the ground.
• Just like the Eggplant build, the player may only preform a Rising Uppercut when they stand still on the floor and press and . In the final release, the player may preform a Rising Uppercut while they jump into the air as well.

Transformations

All transformations act as they do in the final game in this build. However, there are very minor differences in how some of them control.

• Ball transformation's speed cannot be controlled with directional inputs, and has a much greater speed compared to final.

Enemies

Every common enemy has their final behaviour. However, there are very minor differences in appearance.

• At the beginning of every level, there is one Green Cheeseslime.
• Elite Pizza Slugs do not have red bowties.

Hub

Every floor is the same as the final game, except floor 1, which is way more compact, and doesn't have the Tutorial.

The boss gates sold by Mr. Stick now all cost 120$.

When transitioning up a floor, an animation will play. It is cut from the final game.

Levels

Starting with this build, levels begin with a titlecard. However, not every level has a titlecard and will use John Gutter's instead as a placeholder. The same applies for each titlecard jingle: if it does not have one, it will use John Gutter's. Something to note is the soundfont used for the titlecard jingle, which is completely different compared to the final version.

It is also possible to P-rank every level except WAR, with the latter not having a

or Secret Eyes implemented. While the rank screen animation for a P-rank has been implemented, its icon for the HUD has not. This means upon completing a level with a P-rank, the gate will instead display a D-rank by default.

Upon opening a new save file, after the introduction cutscene, the player is immediately put into Tutorial.
