Ren'Py - Go!Go!PizzaBoy! [v0.1.7] [Spicy Well Studio]

[v0.1.7]

Gameplay:

• Yet another schedule-based sandbox snooze-fest, where the whole gameplay loop is check walkthrough, grind money with affection and skip time. Don't want to consult with WT? Well too bad, you can only progress in pre-determined order, so doing things on your own just means more pointless clicking.
• There are no choices.
• Why is there an option to talk? Why is there one to pat people? There isn't even a dedicated render to this action, it just skips time.
• These silly Kety skits are really not a good excuse to not have sound in your game for most of the playthrough.

Writing:

• English is kinda stiff. There are quite a lot of grammatical mistakes.
• Too many pop-culture references that occur suddenly with no context whatsoever.
• The dialogue is so disjointed, it hurts to read. Developer clearly had no prior writing experience and probably didn't read many books before, because the prose here is total ass.
• The protagonist feels completely disconnected from the narrative. Just like Kety is seems that he's a dev's avatar to translate his consciousness stream through, rather than a actual video game character.
• Constant 4th wall breaks. The writing is not good to begin with, but every time a character talks to the screen, dev's mascot appears or Kety breaks reality, it completely destroys any possibility of story immersion or emotional connection to the characters.

Erotic content:
⠀⠀⠀I was soft the entire time. Sex scenes just happen, the context is either really poor or non-existent, and they feature like 10 lines of dialogue at best. Technical execution leaves a lot to be desired too, lots of clipping, stiff motion, weird camera movement, overabundance of ahegao, having to click buttons to advance, instead of natural progression, and so on.

[v0.1.1 review]

Usually 3/5 scores are reserved to middle of the road type of games. This game, however, gets a 3/5 for the extremes it makes me feel while playing it.

I enjoy most of the dialogue and do find it at least entertaining, apart from it being the heavily cringe at times with outdated jokes that were never funny in the first place (A John Snow joke in 2025? Jesus). But it almost wouldn't be the same without it. Some characters look pretty good, while others have strange proportions and features. The map is quick to navigate, but knowing where you're supposed to be for an event is completely arbitrary and you'll be spending a lot of time in the character menu, cycling through all of the characters to figure out where and when you need to be since it's pretty hopeless without it. While the guides are helpful, sometimes it doesn't tell you if you need to be there on a weekend or weekday, leaving you confused when you get there and nothing happens. I appreciate being able to talk to the girls and give them items, seems to be under construction so I won't give too much shit for the fact that everyone just says the same line, but Love and Lust decays after 4 days? Why? What the fuck? Who thought this would be a good idea?

Every time I find something I like or enjoy about the game, I get a quick slap to the balls with something else. This game is being regularly updated, though, so that's nice. The games got personality, and I respect it and it's developer quite a bit. Just wish it didn't piss me off. I'd at least appreciate icons on the map showing where characters are.

As of v0.1.1
I think this game needed a proper review update after the devs put in some serious work into it.

What I like about the game:
*Potential, The game has potential, and the update proved that the devs can realize the potential turn it into something fun.
*Able to listen to feedback, The negative reviews mentioned a few notable problems, and they have been solved (in my opinion), which is a rare quality from games these days.
*Style, I am a fan of the general style. The animations and models, despite some recognizable assets, are very well done.

What I think needs work:
*Writing, a lot of people in the review complained about the story and the 4th wall breaking, and although I think choice of content is a matter of preference, the writing it self could use some work. In times it is rather cringe, but I can see some improvement after the 'prologue'. The jokes in there are like leftover fried chicken, there is some content, but you need to be eating leftovers all day to enjoy it.
*Guidance, not that Renpy has any complicated controls, but there should at least some sense of mention to look for event requirements in the wifi looking icon. The story itseslf should really tell you what to do without the need to resort to looking for a guide. (For example, Solera told you when and where to meet her for the event, that is great. If not explicitly mentioned, there should be a good game reason for you to actually visit a place at a certain time to trigger an event).
*Gift system, mentioned by many reviewers it lacks purpose or incentive, but I don't put lack of content against incomplete work. Right now it feels like a byproduct of me triggering events in the delivery scene, and whatever leftover L points I get needed somewhere to go.


Conclusion:
At this stage, this game is a nice kinetic novel with some semblance of game cycle that doesn't serve much purpose. This game has the potential to grow into something that can rival the big titles in this genre.

This game has potential to be much much better than it is right now, because as it is, its just average at best. I really liked some of the girls and their scenes, which hopefully more will be added in future updates, but the biggest flaw its the gameplay for sure, too much clicking, having to check what to do next everyday, or going to your room and clicking your bed to sleep, love and lust getting lower with time, etc. feels like every decision just adds more unnecesary grind to a game that needs to keep its grind to the minimum.

so yeah, for v0.1.0, i'd say you should try it if you can handle the grind or if you like any of the girls in particular

This game is awful
i spend eternity clicking everywhere just to not get any progress
some events trigger when you visit area
love and lust decay as fast as my opinion of this game
i spend my savings on nintendo switch just to find out it does not do anything
Naturally game told me patreon code could magically unlock fun
why did i even tried is beyond me
also there is almost no sex just 3 handies from different girls

VERDICT: Potential 10/10 (as of v0.0.9)
Current: ~8/10
Personally, I like it alot. Regardless of how I rate this game, I do think it has potential. Only time can tell whether it grows into a 10 or not.

Gameplay: 8/10
Love how the scenes work where you can choose which action to take and switch back and forth. A big gripe comes with replayability which will be addressed later. Another problem comes with the "TIME" mechanic. I found it mildly annoying to find that progressing through one scene made it skip most of the day, making it hard to "work" or go to another scene that could be done on the same day. This wastes a bunch of time.
Graphics: 9/10
Great for a Ren'py game. As with any Ren'py game, this game also uses many familiar assets. Funnily enough, the environment still feels refreshing. Still, it still is just a plain background.
Sound: none
There is no sound yet aside from the menu screen. Cannot judge fairly at this point in time.
Story and characters: Potential 10/10
Though some may find the 4th wall break to be unnecessary, I do find it to be a breath of fresh air. Having a unique element will always take some time to get used to, and if done right, this will make the game that much better. As with any game, you won't like all of the girls, but I do find the story makes the interactions charming and loveable. These girls aren't so ugly, and honestly, they grow on you much faster than other games.
Replayability: ...
Replayability is terrible. Let me explain. You need to grind for "Love" and "Lust" points. To do that you need "L" the currency. This is tedious because of the time system that skips around all over the place, and then no other option to work on weekends. I would love to grind, but then you also lose the love points after 4 days.
Balance: 9/10
No one has too many scenes except for one, but that's for the purpose of the plot. Overall, still reasonable amount of grind (aside from "time" issue).
Length: A new game, but 10/10
From what I've gathered, this game is still new. Based on version number as well, still new. Still has a noticeable amount of content which I found myself spending alot of time on it to finish everything.

so far this game is just ok. the animations are kind of janky at times the story is kind of weird as well. i did not care for the 4th wall break parts it felt poorly done. I'm not saying this because i don't like 4th wall breaks in games this one just did it weirdly. the fact the game uses the computer owner name for it is not something i was a fan of either. the dev could have just done the call out the player thing. it would have been fine for a 4th wall break. i also think the addition of the dev as a character was kind of interesting. it was not done the best in my opinion though i the idea is a good one and I've seen it done very well in the past. these things being said the game over all is just a mid story and some ok animations. what i can absolutely praise is the character models they are top notch very well done. i also want to say i understand at the time I'm leaving this review it is still in development. this means that this review may not be accurate when the final update comes out. i fully expect the animations to get more polished when the final update comes out. i also will say i think this game will probably be a good game when the final update comes out. if you don't pay attention to the story to much of course a good question to ask. is does the story matter it is just a ero game after all.



"i think the story should matter no matter what type of game you play but this is just me and everyone has a different opinion"

This game has so much potential its insane. So many great planned tags and the content that's already in Is amazing. Prety nice looking locations too. It has a lot of character and charm and is very unique definetly give it a go.

This will be a hard pass on this one, story is awfull and the constant 4th wall breaking makes it unplayable, why on earth dev made a dev character that talks to MC all the time i will never understand, its so bad that theres just no story just some random shit and dev talks.....i thought it was just for the intro but even when you get to freeroam it happens all the time.....

Girls looks pretty bad as well, im not one with a big tit fetish and proberly all but one has big tits so thats a huge turn off, why devs dont make better diversity in builds i have no idea, i always found it a bit stupid not to aim for as many supporters as possible meaning something for everyones taste, not that it would save this one.

Also its a kinetic/linear game, you dont have any choices and MC will just have sexual relationship with whoever, so yet another turn-off, im just not into forced sex scenes with characters i hate, yeah im weird that way? ffs...

Dialogs are cringy as well which dosent help any.

Animations are bland, short and boring.

Sandbox is just a pointless click feast to get around, why devs make sandbox in a linear game with 0 freedom or choice makes no sense.

Giving this 2 stars is proberly way to much.

Reviewing as of v0.0.6

Pros:

• I do like the art style and the h-scenes
• Animations seem normal and fluid
• Some of the characters are pretty funny

Cons:

• I still don't know what the premise of this game is
• Day & night cycle needs a whole rework, it's terrible
• Map is clunky, gifts are pretty useless as of 0.0.6

Conclusion:

There's a lot of potential here and I see the developer slowly adding new things to the game, but as of 0.0.6, nothing is fleshed out. I suggest waiting a few more updates to play this game, hopefully a lot will be fixed and better done.

Going to be honest about my experience with this one.

First thing, the dialogue is cringey as hell. From the Dev being a character that interacts with the MC and the Yandere girl, to the fact that everyone speaks either in attempts at comedic zingers or is just really out there, I couldn't stand it long enough to get to the free roaming section.

The one animation I did see was short, and was ruined by the lame dialogue.

Also, any game where I have to name or rename every single character gets docked points. If you want to tell a story, just tell it please.

I gave an extra star for the models. They looked nice.

review for v0.0.3

games pretty funny, girls look pretty good in a gonna ruin ur whole life type way.
lewd scenes are decent so far.
mc a bit meh so far, not bad enough to ruin the game but hoping he improves a bit.
good luck to the dev.
