The game's story is described as unclear and disjointed, with new plot points emerging unexpectedly, making it difficult for players to follow. Set in a chaotic version of Australia, players take on the role of a pizza delivery person navigating a rogue-like environment filled with quirky elements like hiring a flash mob and a time machine. While the unique and random nature of the game adds fun, the repetitive mission structure can be frustrating.
“Short story, randomly generated levels, and power-ups make every new game unique and fun.”
“You are able to hire a flash mob, a parrot, a time machine, and even a koala to help you in your quest to deliver the pizza.”
“It's worth noting that the structure of this game is not very clear – every new story beat just happens without much warning and it can be hard to keep track of what is going on.”
“Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to deliver pizzas in a crazy Australia where everyone’s out to get you, like they’re from a combination of Wolf Creek and Mad Max. The game is rogue-like in nature.”
“Game wants you to grind money in 3 missions at a time and that's annoying as hell.”
