Pizza in Peril

Spin. Charge. Upgrade. Survive.

Defend a pineapple pizza from waves of hungry animals by building poles, orbiting around them, and unleashing increasingly ridiculous abilities. Or try to win without any upgrades and prove that you are a true gamer.

Playtime: around 7–15 minutes for one run. Endless mode starts after Wave 10 or Wave 15, depending on the selected difficulty.

Now playable on mobile!
