GAMEPLAY MECHANICS
The vision for Pizzaverse is to create an EXHILARATING, CHAOTIC and FUN gameplay experience for our players.
We designed the mechanics with this goal in mind. Your team of up to 4 players will be tasked to create the perfect pizza. You will achieve this by completing a series of minigames that replicate the stages of pizza making. Inspired by influential games in the industry such as “WarioWare” and “Overcooked”, our design philosophy for the mini-games system is to create quick, replayable gameplay instances that remain fun and engaging through multiple playthroughs.
Each mini-game can be broken down into its individual components resulting in a unique gameplay experience with its own objectives, rules and boundaries.
We begin with the Pizza Order minigame Experience the chaos of the kitchen as you aim to translate and interpret customer orders from around the galaxy.
Baking the perfect pizza takes skill This mini-game will test your precision and patience. Your goal is to keep the yellow bake area box over the pizza icon to fill up the green progress bar within the set time frame.
Failing this mini-game can have severe consequences, undoing all the hard work you have done in previous stages.
The final stage is The Slicing mini-game using the mouse as the pizza cutter Your aim is to cut the pizza into symmetrical pieces.
With all those stages complete, the pizza is now ready to be sent off for delivery. At the end of the level, you will be greeted with a customer review screen that will reflect your performance in the kitchen.
LEVEL DEVELOPMENT
