The absolute nerve you must have... To create something THIS awesome in 48 hours using no engine? I tip my hat to you. I'm really amazed and want to take some time to thank you for doing this, bringing the absolute proof to the table that even in a game jam, such as LD, there is room for experimentation and that (unless specified offcourse), the tools do not really matter. As far as the game goes, my kids absolutely loved it, especially the feature they could share URL's with their pizza to one another. Got a great giggle out of it. Unfortunately, they now want to make fresh pizza instead of takeaway :p","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1123476,"author_name":"psychomonster","author_uid":"psychomonster","epoch":1744016211,"text":"Very funny game.

Being able to go through layers easier would be a big plus as well.\n\nBut I'm really glad there's an actual pizzagram and you can look through others' creations. Shoutouts to whoever made the 144 layer deep dish!\n\nOverall - great idea, but feels a bit.. UNDERBAKED! Ha haha.. Ha..

No worries\u2014there are only likes, no text comments, no dislikes. This is a safe space for deep (and weird) expression.\n\nShare the depths of your imagination in the most delicious format possible: a Deep Dish Pizza.\n\nInspired by a game I last played over 20 years ago \u2014 Pizza Syndicate \u2014 i hope fans of the original will feel right at home.\n\nTUTORIAL\n\n- Ingredients: Use them to decorate your Pizza, while in hand use mousewheel to turn it arround.\n- Peel: Use this to bake your Pizza and put it on the menu.\n- Sauce: Use this to add a new layer to your deep dish, You can also rightlclick it to go down your layer or use the mousewheel while hovering it.\n- Shredder: Leftclick with Ingredient to make it smaller, rightclick to make it bigger\n- Price: Used to \"play\" your Pizze (animate it)\n- Bin: With ingredient in hand you get rid of the ingredient, without anything in your hand you delete your Pizza.\n- Menu: Go here to see and like other peoples deep dish pizzas.\n\nYou can also copy the URL of any Pizza in the Menu to share it or save it for later visits!\n\n![tut.png](\/\/\/raw\/0a9\/a3\/z\/69cbd.png)\n\nI used:\n- VSC to code\n- Paint.net for art (wanted to use pixel composer, but didn't in the end)\n- FL Studio with my voice and stuff around me for Audio\n- The whole Code is in html\/css\/php and mainly plain old Javascript - no engine or anything, startet with an empty folder.\n\nEDIT\nForgot to mention the Pizzagram works with a database and a bit of PHP code for a small API.","title":"Deep Dish Pizzagram","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/410501+410502+410503+410504+410505+410506+410507+410508+410509+410510+410511+410512+410513+410514+410515+410516+410517+410518+410519+410520+410521+410522+410523+410524+410525+410526+410527+410528+410529+410530+410531+410532+410533+410534+410535+410536+410537+410538+410539+410540+410541+410542+410543+410544+410545+410546+410547+410548+410549+410550+410551+410552+410553+410554+410555+410556+410557+410558+410559+410560+410561+410562+410563+410564+410565+410566+410567+410568+410569+410570+410571+410572+410573+410574+410575+410576+410577+410578+410579+410580+410581+410582+410583+410584+410585+410586+410587+410588+410589+410590+410591+410592+410593+410594+410595+410596+410597+410598+410599+410600+410601+410602+410603+410604+410605+410606+410607+410608+410609+410610+410611+410612+410613+410614+410615+410616+410617+410618+410619+410620+410621+410622+410623+410624+410625+410626+410627+410628+410629+410630+410631+410632+410633+410634+410635+410636+410637+410638+410639+410640+410641+410642+410643+410644+410645+410646+410647+410648+410649+410650+410651+410652+410653+410654+410655+410656+410657+410658+410659+410660+410661+410662+410663+410664+410665+410666+410667+410668+410669+410670+410671+410672+410673+410674+410675+410676+410677+410678+410679+410680+410681+410682+410683+410684+410685+410686+410687+410688+410689+410690+410691+410692+410693+410694+410695+410696+410697+410698+410699+410700+410701+410702+410703+410704+410705+410706+410707+410708+410709+410710+410711+410712+410713+410714+410715+410716+410717+410718+410719+410720+410721+410722+410723+410724+410725+410726+410727+410728+410729+410730+410731+410732+410733+410734+410735+410736+410737+410738+410739+410740+410741+410742+410743+410744+410745+410746+410747+410748+410749+410750+410751+410752+410753+410754+410755+410756+410757+410758+410759+410760+410761+410762+410763+410764+410765+410766+410767+410768+410769+410770+410771+410772+410773+410774+410775+410776+410777+410778+410779+410780+410781+410782+410783+410784+410785+410786+410787+410788+410789+410790+410791+410792+410793+410794+410795+410796+410797+410798+410799+410800+410801+410802+410803+410804+410805+410806+410807+410808+410809+410810+410811+410812+410813+410814+410815+410816+410817+410818+410819+410820+410821+410822+410823+410824+410825+410826+410827+410828+410829+410830+410831+410832+410833+410834+410835+410836+410837+410838+410839+410840+410841+410842+410843+410844+410845+410846+410847+410848+410849+410850+410851+410852+410853+410854+410855+410856+410857+410858+410859+410860+410861+410862+410863+410864+410865+410866+410867+410868+410869+410870+410871+410872+410873+410874+410875+410876+410877+410878+410879+410880+410881+410882+410883+410884+410885+410886+410887+410888+410889+410890+410891+410892+410893+410894+410895+410896+410897+410898+410899+410900+410901+410902+410903+410904+410905+410906+410907+410908+410909+410910+410911+410912+410913+410914+410915+410916+410917+410918+410919+410920+410921+410922+410923+410924+410925+410926+410927+410928+410929+410930+410931+410932+410933+410934+410935+410936+410937+410938+410939+410940+410941+410942+410943+410944+410945+410946+410947+410948+410949+410950+410951+410952+410953+410954+410955+410956+410957+410958+410959+410960+410961+410962+410963+410964+410965+410966+410967+410968+410969+410970+410971+410972+410973+410974+410975+410976+410977+410978+410979+410980+410981+410982+410983+410984+410985+410986+410987+410988+410989+410990+410991+410992+410993+410994+410995+410996+410997+410998+410999+411000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/60\/6005c05a8971f41eff725403aad7f1c17e95b29b9e9435d63532c1fe13719914","record":"shard-0\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/d4d03b1cbda765f47d3fc5b6cc85ce26a5541813c9f22df57e1791c3c1eff032.json","sha256":"6005c05a8971f41eff725403aad7f1c17e95b29b9e9435d63532c1fe13719914","source":"https","stored_at":1784022523}}
