Pizza frenzy

The goal of a Pizza Frenzy player is to quickly deliver the right pizza to customers. The levels of the game are held in different places, each location has a different topography . At each location there can be two or more places where pizza is prepared. Each of these cuisines is responsible for a particular type of pizza. During the game, each client has an icon indicating the pizza that the client orders. You need to click on the icon, and then on that part of the game where pizza is made. One important indicator is customer satisfaction. It crashes if the customer does not receive pizza for a long time or the wrong pizza is delivered to him. In this case, the client ends the phone call. If customer satisfaction drops low enough, the game ends.

Before the start of each level, the player chooses which pizza toppings will be available at this level. The number of different types of pizza depends on the level (from 2 to 4). Pizza toppings do not affect the gameplay in any way, besides the fact that toppings of a higher level bring more money.

After having passed a certain number of levels, the player can choose a new filling for his pizza. There are both standard toppings (like olives or mushrooms), and things that are not usually associated with pizza (like donuts, chocolate or french fries).

After passing easy levels, criminals appear in the game. Criminals are subscribers who call a pizzeria and try to harm it. These include vandals, telephone pranksters and thieves . If a player mistakenly accepts an order from such a person, he will lose profit or reputation. Instead, you need to click on the police station: as a result, the police will arrest the criminal and provide monetary rewards. When criminals appear, the game emits a special sound signal to make criminals easier to spot.

The game also includes subscribers, which lead to the appearance of neutral and positive effects that affect the game. These effects are included if the pizza is delivered successfully. These callers include a “chatty customer,” who convinces other customers to change their orders so that they are the same as hers, a clown who forces other customers to replace orders with random ones, a banker who collects money automatically (effect a banker acts only for a short period of time), a movie star (pays a lot of money), a monk , slowing down the time in the game. ^[one]
