Tricky Treat
Tricky Treat is a hidden level in Pizza Tower in which the player is tasked to collect 10 pumpkins while avoiding a Pumpkin Ghost. It's accessible by collecting 20 pumpkins during the Pumpkin Hunt event and can be found in the Tower Lobby.
Overview
Level
The level consists of a main path with 5 pumpkins (indicated by green pumpkin arrows) and 5 extra areas each containing an additional pumpkin (indicated by blue pumpkin arrows). On the bottom left of the screen is a counter, showing how many pumpkins are left to be collected. The player is chased constantly by a Pumpkin Ghost, which behaves identically to John Ghost. Getting in contact with the ghost will drop the player back to the Tower Lobby. Once all pumpkins have been collected, a Pizza Box will send the player back to the entrance of the level.
This level has a unique twist compared to other levels, as it has no Ranks, Pizza Time timer (similarly to WAR and Secrets of The World) or a title card.
Easter Egg
If the player attempts to backtrack to the entrance of the level while in the Ghost transformation, an ominous sprite of Peppino appears covering the rest of the screen. After eight seconds have passed, the game closes itself. The sprite used here was originally planned to be used in Peppino's Final Judgement. However, Tricky Treat reuses this sprite (spr_finaljudgement2), only removing any mention of the judgement being final.
