About

Life is good when you are a possum. You can eat all you want, and there is no one who can stop you. Well, except for all the guard dogs patrolling the village you're in. But really, who are they to stop you. Besides, if you get chased, a quick hide in the bushes will often do the trick and get them off your scent. So what are you waiting for? Time to sink your teeth into this snackable experience!

Pizza Possum is a fun and vibrant arcade game that relies on the innate need most players will have to beat their high score repeatedly. While some may find it repetitive, most will have a blast as they scurry around a small town as a crazy critter, terrorizing locals and eating every snack that crosses their path.

This game might not last long, but it almost seems aware of its limitations. Pizza Possum invites you to stop by, enjoy the bedlam and pandemonium with or without a friend, and then leave satisfied and fulfilled, like you yourself gobbled down that giant pizza the titular possum craves.

Pizza Possum is a wonderful game that can be picked up by almost anyone and enjoyed. An offbeat and amusing premise lead into a mechanically sound game that works on pretty much every level. And is all wrapped in a presentation that is clear and absolutely adorable. My only complaints come from just how quickly the game runs its course; a bit more variety in the later parts of the game would have been the cherry ontop of the (possibly stolen) cake.

Running around wreaking havoc and creating chaos in Pizza Possum is enjoyable, though I do wish that the world had been slightly bigger, as finishing it all in just a few hours left me wanting for more way too soon.

It is hard to find negative things to say about Pizza Possum. It’s length I suppose as I wish it was longer or had more levels. There’s hope for a sequel at least. That said, Pizza Possum delivers a fun and accessible game. No run ever feels like a waste of time with its item progression and the more you play the easier those items make the game.

Pizza Possum delivers a clever twist on classic arcade gameplay with its simple and fun stealth-based gameplay, and it has a ton of charm in its colorful visuals and appealing take on an Italian landscape. But a lack of content and awkward handling of power-ups provide a sour taste, though there’s still enough here that you should at least consider sampling a bite of it. If it’s good enough for our possum buddy, after all…

Now I'm hungry.
This game completely caught me off-guard. I honestly thought this game was gonna be mediocre. But after beating it 4 times. (Yes, four times.) I can definitely say that this game is a must have. You play as a possum (and/or a raccoon if you go coop) and must sneak-and-eat your way to King Bella Chonk's pizza. There are a several types of watch dogs you need to look out for. And all have adorably cute designs. Each food provides a specific amount of points (Cakes and Pizzas give 10, Grapes gives 5 while Fish and small fruits give 1 etc etc) and when you accumulate enough points you earn a key to unlock the next area. Sneak, eat and unlock doors until you reach King Bella Chonks pizza. Simple? Don't be fooled. It can get extremely tough especially on your 4th attempt. Let's go over the PROS and CONS. PROS 1. Simple controls. Left Joystick to move and A button to active item. 2. Fair challenge. 3. Cute and simple character designs. A good game to relax your eyes for a bit. Away from the obnoxious graphics that most AAA games have. 4. You can unlock new gadgets with the amount of points you have accumulated. So, if you get captured, your current points will be spent, and if you fill the progress bar, you earn a new item. So, not all is lost when you lose. CONS 1. The camera angles in coop mode can causer dizziness. 2. Lack of new levels. Its just one big map. All in all, I had such a blast. I do recommend you play this game with a friend. And I am pretty sure you will get hungry when you play this game. Seeing all the cakes, pizzas, ice cream and tiramisu will make you wanna head over to your fridge for a couple of bites.
