Doomino’s Pizza Delivery is a short game about delivering a pizza to Satan. The theme was “deeper and deeper” and what’s deeper than the underworld itself?

Loosely based on Dante’s Inferno, travel deeper and deeper into hell, running, jumping, and dashing through nine short levels. Face off against vicious bosses, sneak past hungry demons, and dodge falling pineapples all the while keeping Satan’s pizza fully intact!

The game features an original soundtrack composed by the talented William van Brennet. Each level has its own unique sound, so you’ll be able to jam out the whole time. Journeying through hell has never sounded this good.

All levels are unlocked and skippable, so if you get stuck you’ll be able to play the rest of the game with no issues,
(The game is hard! There's no shame in skipping ahead) but we’d encourage you to start from the beginning to get the full experience!

This game is the product of 72 hours of work for Ludum Dare 48. Enjoy the game!

fun to play, loved the graphics and the jumping noises.

Game is super awesome and has a great hook! Loved the premise and use of the theme! A different button for the dash would go a long way to making you feel more in control of your movements in air! Overall a really great experience!

felt very polished. loved the music. tutorial phase was just right. boss battles were pretty punishing which isn't my personal cup of tea but may work for others.

Jakegames227 Apr 2021, 01:22

Great game you guys made! There was only a few things I thought weren't perfect, the movement was slightly finicky and the camera in the non-zoomed out sections was slightly nauseating. Aside from that, the humour and gameplay were extremely fun and entertaining.

CorbenG27 Apr 2021, 01:23

Great execution! Character writing is very charming. Maybe make restarting after dying faster, and checkpoints would be nice, but overall great work!

Morg27 Apr 2021, 01:23

Really cute game, I liked the humor and the style. There's a lot of variety to the levels and I appreciate the skip button, because I found some of them to be a bit too challenging/frustrating to complete. I think there's a couple of things that stand out a bit though. Having to deal with the level restart + dialogue every time you die gets a bit frustrating, and also instantly dying for touching spikes or falling into pits (rather than just losing one life) can be a bit too unforgiving.

Still, I think the various hints around the game on how to approach challenges were absolutely peak game design, 10/10

Boss battles felt quite punishing. I think of the controls were a little tighter/responsive you would be able to dodge their attacks easier

frompdx27 Apr 2021, 01:25

Great humor! Overall this feels very well polished.

JML Games27 Apr 2021, 01:26

Huge props to all the different styles of levels. The music that plays when gluttony is waking up is amazing

Cheese Team27 Apr 2021, 01:26

Great premise! I think a separate dash button would be helpful. A bit of time before the first boss fight starts would be helpful; I think I took damage in less than a second.

TheGamerASD27 Apr 2021, 01:26

Nice! I liked the soundtrack and the game was very fun.

Andres UwU27 Apr 2021, 01:26

The game is very good but in my opinion there is nothing similar to the subject

Gui Miottto27 Apr 2021, 01:26

very good game, the graphics and music are good, the idea of the game is very interesting.
congratulations on the game, he is cool.

PS: I couldn't deliver the pizza, the game is very difficult too hahaha

LDJam user 23625627 Apr 2021, 01:27

This is game is so hard and punishing, but it's really fun, great use of the theme, and great humor. I love it.

Mkane131727 Apr 2021, 01:27

Awesome little game. Kudos to the graphic designers and audio designers, the music fits the scenes excellently. Very challenging!!!

SeaFishelle27 Apr 2021, 01:28

I love how professional this game is. It legit feels like a "top page of Miniclip" kind of release. The music/sound design is great and the premise is hilarious. I particularly love that Satan is a sh*tty regular customer that would get pissy when the new guy doesn't know their usual order, for some reason I really loved that detail.

I, uh, might be *stupid*, though, because I couldn't figure out how to beat the harpy level. Like when I picked up the broken heart and it flew away, some hearts went across the bottom of the screen and I died? Like I may have died to a projectile and not realized it, but it still left me pretty confused.

WillH-D27 Apr 2021, 01:29

This was a really fun take on the platforming genre. I loved the audio and the humour, and each level feels distinct and unique. As others have mentioned, air movements were sometimes a bit finnicky and a skip dialogue option would be greatly appreciated as the levels can take many multiple attempts to complete.

Stejkrobot27 Apr 2021, 01:33

It started out really strong, love the look of it! The jumping threw me off a bit and when the fight happened I immediately got hit in both runs.

Trungler27 Apr 2021, 01:33

Very fun to play. The visuals, music and humor really sell it and I like the catchy name.
I agree with a lot of the suggestions given here, to add to them: at some points you demand precise platforming from the player, however the jump you give them has no variable jump height, so a lot of the time you are hovering over the platform waiting to descend. If that's your intention, then great! Otherwise, I'd suggest tapering off the jump as soon as the player lets go off the spacebar.

ckane14427 Apr 2021, 01:34

Danggggg, that was a lot of fun. It took me a long time to beat lust, she just loved me to much. Music was awesome it fit so well with each level. Art was super nice too.

Savolae27 Apr 2021, 01:37

Great idea on how to use the theme. Art was lovely. I feel like having dash on a separate button would have helped with some parts.

kankje27 Apr 2021, 01:38

Super sweet art! Some of the boss battles were super hard but the jokes made up for it 😆

niksg27 Apr 2021, 01:43

Loved the graphics, especially the way the pizza moves with the animation. Fun to play!

SirRed27 Apr 2021, 01:43

Great game. I liked the witty dialogue and interactions between the sins. The spikes level is frustrating to play because of it being insta kill while everything else in the game follows the 3 hit design. Other than that it was a good platformer with some interesting boss fights

breadstix27 Apr 2021, 01:58

Hard to say anything different that what has already been said. The bosses are hard and I like it. The graphics and sounds are great. I'd love for space to be jump but I assume that was a design decision. Great game!

henriquecanella27 Apr 2021, 02:00

Really liked the pixel art, The main thing that i think that needs to be improved is the player controller, but overall well done =D

Maurice27 Apr 2021, 02:00

Great polished game. Punishing at times but still very fun. Only grip is the hitboxes on spikes seem a tad to big. Well Done!

LDJam user 23538827 Apr 2021, 02:09

wish the controls were different would be very fun to play

SandToise27 Apr 2021, 02:23

@seafishelle,
I'm glad you liked it! I handled a lot of the writing so it makes me happy to hear that you found it amusing.

The hearts across the bottom are supposed to prevent you from just camping on the floor, and to make the fight a bit harder. We probably needed to do more difficulty playtesting, based on these comments lol. They appear after you damage the boss with one broken heart.

SandToise27 Apr 2021, 02:26

@trungler

I'm glad you liked it. We probably should've scaled back the difficulty, but my sense of how hard the levels were was getting pretty biased after I'd been playtesting them for a while. I could've sworn we do have a variable jump height, but it could be pretty finnicky. Regardless, I appreciate the feedback!

SandToise27 Apr 2021, 02:31

@willh-d,

Thank you for your feedback! It's nice to hear that you enjoyed it. The dialogue skip is something we definitely would've implemented if we'd had more time, because I think you're absolutely right! It ended up being somewhat of an oversight on our part, but oh well... Hopefully it wasn't too frustrating...?

RSalam27 Apr 2021, 02:32

Really well polished, the art and the soundtrack were amazing! My main issue is the dash being the same keys as the movement keys. I ended up having moments where I simply wanted to move but I triggered a dash and into my death.

Baptiste Figeac27 Apr 2021, 03:11

Except the controls, that's a really nice game! Well done you did such a good job

Fist Full of Shrimp27 Apr 2021, 04:12

Great audio, humor and graphics. The double jump messed me up a bit, but I loved it overall. Great work. Happy LD48

AstronautGuy27 Apr 2021, 04:43

This game was a ton of fun! but the controls were poor. Some levels I had to skip just due to being unable to get control of the character.

Quite Good27 Apr 2021, 15:03

Such a charming game! The hilarious writing really uplifts the whole experience. I appreciate the polish and huge variety in game mechanics and visuals, that's a hard thing to pull off in a weekend! Excellent work.

GuillaumeCARLE27 Apr 2021, 17:58

Nice job! The gameplay, the sound design, the graphics the UI are all cool and the story is hillarous, thanks for this game!

Vimlark27 Apr 2021, 23:39

Loved it. The respawn is a bit slow and personally would love to have space or up arrow for jump instead of w. Great work.

Billnotic27 Apr 2021, 23:40

Cute graphics, controls are pretty meh, but I like the pizza delivery concept.

Also is it just me or does the level end sound effect sound like the samsung alarm?

nyanpierre28 Apr 2021, 02:50

nice game !

MateusBoga28 Apr 2021, 14:24

I love the concept, and the dialogues are pretty funny too, and the levels are unexpected xD
Just wish the controls were a little easier to handle, I kept failing for dumb reasons.
Nice game!

Villanelle28 Apr 2021, 20:59

The idea behind the game is so much fun. I loved how you guys implemented it with the story and the funny bosses. The last one remembered me of a boss from "The Messenger", one that I liked the most when playing that game. But for me, the most lovely aspects of this game are the sound effects and music. They are just on point. Congrats to all of the team!

azakharov29 Apr 2021, 12:55

Good work with theme. Loved music and graphic. But starting every level from beggining is little annoying. Mybe should use lives to return player before last jump or hiding place.

Tarcisiotm29 Apr 2021, 15:03

Nice entry! Graphics, music and mood / humour all on point. Surprised by the overall polish on this entry. Good job!

I wish the controls were a bit easier to handle, and also that the Jump could have been another button (spacebar, perhaps even as a redundant alternative). Movement felt to me be a tad too fast as well.

lduser12518 May 2021, 01:41

Great game, enjoyed it even though it was tough at times. Nice work!
