I've lost my orders again. This day is going to suck!

This article is a stub. You can help by expanding it.

Before developing Pizza Tower, Pizza Tower Guy has worked on many other games before. The genre, the gameplay, and even the style of sprites varies in each one of them.

Weenie Cop

Weenie Cop, also known as ***Weiner don't use drugs***, is an action-platformer game, starring Peter and Mac as main protagonists.

Visual art style

The visual art style doesn't look very different from Pizza Tower, except of using colored outlines, not using Game Boy Advance color palette, animations being slower and sprites themselves being smaller, due the game being 4:3, instead of 16:9.

Gameplay

The gameplay was mostly inspired by Jazz Jackrabbit games. The Pete and Mac's moveset are the same, with only difference is their look.

The moveset is mostly based on attacking, shooting and dashing. It's also possible to buy upgrades from the shopkeeper to upgrade the attack moves paying with toes and foot collectibles. The player can also collect hot peppers to charge the super move, depending on which attack the player will use, Peter or Mac will either shoot with a giant bullet that shatters into smaller ones or perform a big series of punches for a bit. It's also possible to perform wall jump by jumping into the wall then pressing the jump button again to jump away from it.

The enemies on first two levels are the variations of french fries, wearing black jackets and having different types of sauce as their hair. By modifying the game, it's also possible to see other type of enemies - burgers wearing black bandanas, like steriotypical burglars.

There are only two bosses - tutorial boss, which doesn't attack and can be defeated in one hit, and fryboys boss, being able to throw bombs and summon french fries enemies. The way to defeat him was to deflect the bomb with melee attacks, so it would go back at him, causing him to take damage. Also, he would be able to sometimes deflect the bomb back at the player. Though, the boss fight doesn't work as intended, as deflecting bombs back at the boss doesn't do anything, which makes the fight impossible.

Music

During development of game, Weenie Cop did not receive original soundtrack. Instead, it used tracks, taken from other places. Though, due bugs, they don't play in the game itself.

Pizza Massacre

Pizza Massacre is a 2D Resident Evil-like, starring Peppino.

Visual art style

The visual style, unlike Pizza Tower, is more grim and scary, with Peppino being more realistic.

Gameplay

The gameplay was supposed supposed to be side-scroller with need to find weapons to kill enemies. Only one video of gameplay of game exists <ref>https://youtu.be/sdJnee5Fn7I<ref>, showcasing one of weapons - buzz saw, so it's hard to tell how the game would actually play like.

Pizza Horror

Pizza Horror is a RPG-like game, made in RPG Maker and inspired by Earthbound.

Visual art style

The visual style here is pretty much the same as for Pizza Massacre.

Gameplay

The gameplay was supposed to be pretty similar to Earthbound, except with having more interactions in overworld map.
