U.F.Olive, short for Unidentified Flying Olive, is an enemy in Pizza Tower.

Description

U.F.Olive (short for Unidentified Flying Olive) is a green olive with beady eyes and very thin arms and legs that rides in a purple U.F.O.

U.F.Olive hovers around, with no way to directly hurt the player.

This enemy is tied with the following Chef Task:

Man Meteor
Kill 5 UFOlives in a single bodyslam in Deep Dish Nine.

Before the final design was chosen, Pizza Tower Guy made various prototype designs for this enemy. The first looked like a Cheeseslime in a robot suit, the second looks very similar to the final enemy, but smaller and with bigger eyes and the red spot of the olive being the mouth instead of a spot on the top of its head, and the third looked like a frog wearing a small helmet.
- The frog design seems to a reference to the "It is Wednesday, my dudes." frog, as various images of said frog were on screen in Pizza Tower Guy's Twitch streams shortly before and after the design was sprited.
The U.F.Olive used to have a different behavior. It would drop olive-themed atom-like projectiles that would teleport the player to a random warp point in the room, signified with an olive on top of a toothpick.
- Later, this was revised to just having the projectile be harmful upon touch, before the behavior was removed completely.
U.F.Olive's Heat Meter attack was turning into Olive Trooper upon defeat.
- Along with the Bandito Chicken, Tribe Cheese, Pizza Slug and Shrimp Thug, the U.F.Olive is one of only 5 enemies to keep their Heat Meter behavior.
U.F.Olive is reffered to as "obj_miniufo" in the game's files, most likely meaning that the object was created before the final design of the U.F.Olive was sprited.
