    • “The story is surprisingly heartfelt, and the mix of fast-paced action with a dash of humor kept me hooked from start to finish.”
    • “The story touches on some serious issues, and it's clear the game wants you to have fun whilst still dealing with some heavy stuff.”
    • “The story is fun, if a little too 'stay in school kids!' at times.”
    • “I was expecting a lot more from the game, such as a lot more action, and possibly a better story about the situation your character goes through instead of trying to make it emotional.”
    • “Overall it's just a string of random deliveries that have some comedic storyline and there's an overall storyline that keeps advancing, but it's not overly interesting and is in fact quite tedious with its pacing.”
    • “The story is basically trying to be an anti-bullying campaign but the game doesn't actually do that whatsoever, and the main character, you, is the exact opposite of an anti-bully.”
  • gameplay
    118 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Ninja Pizza Girl" is a mixed bag, featuring a unique blend of parkour mechanics and pizza delivery that can be both fun and challenging.

    • “The gameplay is fluid and can be challenging, and the music goes along with it perfectly.”
    • “Ninja Pizza Girl is unique—from its Sonic the Hedgehog-meets-Mirror's Edge gameplay to level paths accommodating gamers of different skill levels.”
    • “Controls aren't tight, mechanics feel janky, and enemy movement is horrendous (enemies will go from slowly walking away from you to sprinting directly towards you instantly, before they could have seen or heard you, in a way that feels extremely unnatural).”
    • “Very weak platformer, controls are somewhat unpleasant and gameplay is just boring.”
    • “The actual gameplay is fine, at the core, but as stated above it gets destroyed by all the bugs.”
  • music
    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “A challenging platformer with a cute story, awesome electronic music, and very original mechanics regarding its 'health points'.”

    • “The soundtrack is poor as well.”
    • “Maybe the 'meh' feeling I get comes from the music: a bit of bland techno.”

Overall, while there are moments of attractive artwork, the execution often falls short of expectations, particularly in terms of polish and coherence.

    • “I find the graphics really attractive, especially the color shades that indicate your mood, and the easy controls that allow this game to be played with a single hand.”
    • “The sound is very good but it is the graphical representation of the game where the game shines from a presentation perspective.”
    • “I don't want to drag the game too much, but overall the environments aren't too interesting for the sort of neon cyberpunk aesthetic they were going for, and the hand-drawn portraits and other hand-drawn objects just look rather crude in their very simplistic design.”
    • “The visuals look a bit like generic Unity assets - a very bland sort of 3D models and environments.”
    • “Featuring atrocious visuals, an abysmal story, and dull gameplay, this is a perfect combination of bad that should be thoroughly avoided if at all possible.”

    • “The replayability really depends on how much the person playing wants to achieve that A rank.”

  • stability
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's stability is mixed, with users reporting a range of glitches, particularly in animations and NPC behavior.

    Character development in the game is intertwined with its narrative themes, particularly through the exploration of bullying, which is presented in a way that is accessible and not overly graphic, making it suitable for a younger audience.

    • “Despite the warnings about the strong themes, I would consider this game quite PG; not even PG-13. There is no blood, no bad language, and the bullying itself is part of the story and character development.”
