PIZZA SLAP

Evil monsters have taken over the world.
Normal weapons seem to have no effect.
Their only weakness is... pizza!

This game was mostly designed by my 8-year-old son Micah. He came up with the concept, the level design, the mechanics, the graphics and the sound. I just wrote the code and animated the sprites. We had a great weekend together :D

The code is pure javascript, written from scratch without a framework. It's not very efficient, but it seems to run well in both Firefox and Chrome on my computer (but not Safari, and almost certainly not IE :/). It wants to run at 848x736; use your browser's "zoom" functionality if that doesn't fit your window.

Gives me memories of the old Skull kid flash game.

Good job!

Make sure your 8 year old keeps at it! He's got a knack for funny characters and ideas.

So great-sounds like a fun weekend. The "game over" sound was my favorite. Worked great in Firefox for me.

You had me at the name of the game! I really appreciated the old school backgrounds, and the sound effects were fantastic. Nice!

Really like seeing work done by kids. Really neat. Boss fight was pretty fun, with a whole run riding on it.

Nice little platform game. It can be improved by other features or graphics, but I liked. Thank you ++

Weirdly engaging, want to go back and see if I can get further. Love the pizza slice health meter!

Plays smooth. I found the jumping a little touchy when being attacked by a couple things and trying to jump.
