About the Game

I made this game awhile ago with RPG Maker, and then I found it again recently, played it, realized it’s awesomeness, and decided to upload it for the world to enjoy.

You play as Casey, a regular pizza boy who has to save the universe from destruction by getting stoned.

Apparently someone has created a weather control device which is quickly turning the world into an uninhabitable frozen wasteland.

Much like all solutions to problems, the universe must be saved by getting high, and only the chosen one (you) is capable of such a feat. This is your mission, if you choose to accept it.

The only problem is, you must also continue to deliver pizzas on time throughout the town, and use your tip money and time in between deliveries to eat, drink, and procure mind-altering substances.

Not only that, but random monsters and lunatics will randomly try to kill you along the way.

Eventually you unlock an even more sinister plot and battle your way through hell on a quest to save the universe and atone for your own personal sins.

WARNING: This game does include some profanity as well as references to illegal drugs. In my opinion none of it is gratuitous, and it all serves the plot, but fair warning. If you're cool with that, please proceed.

Installation

1. download the zip file (it’ll take about 5 minutes tops)

2. unzip the files,

3. install RTP (its the program the game runs on, it won’t hurt your computer I promise, and it can be uninstalled easily)

4. Click the orange icon to play the game!

(There’s a readme file there too if you forget something)

Gameplay

It plays similar to any Super NES era RPG: Zelda, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, or my personal favorite, Earthbound. Think Earthbound for potheads.

The game takes about 4 hours to complete (if you know what you’re supposed to do, we’ll see how long it takes for those who don’t).

Of course, there’s a save feature. You don’t have to play it all in one shot. And I highly recommend saving as often as possible (and even creating multiple save files).

It’s very easy to die randomly at any moment, but you can reload your save in about one second, and pick up exactly where you left off.

Also, don’t worry too much about the timer during the timed pizza delivery missions. You won’t die if you deliver a few pizzas late (I know from experience).

The game is actually quite open ended, and you can use a few different strategies to beat it. There are full weapons and items systems, and even a few alternate path plots.

I’m already aware of some of the glitches, but I haven’t found anything too game-breaking, so let me know. Any compliments/criticisms would be appreciated.

If you end up playing the game, or even beating the game, I would love to hear about it.

(In fact, if anybody does take the time to beat this game, I will be very impressed)

Note: Flamethrower does not endorse the use any mind-altering substances, including but not limited to; cannabis, alcohol, ecstacy, psilocybin, caffeine, large quantites of over-the-counter cough medicine, chocolate, free downloadable games, or hastily-designed websites.

ok, so there I am enjoying the game. When three things happen
1) the music starts doing my head in
2) I get killed by some knife dude and restart
3) I get killed by some blob before I even reach the pizza shop, one hit

you're lucky I'm enjoying it enough to play again, once more and i cba

...

It could do with a battle curve
I love the gameplay... hate all forms of battle
ALL FORMS
the random encounters are either too easy and not worth it or too hard and kill in one hit. Same goes for the people who spontaneously ask you for a fight.

This is my first game, and I found the battle curve to be the most difficult thing about making the game...

I don't know how far you are in the game, but there is somewhat of a battle curve as you go along...you're right, a lot of the easy enemies are not worth fighting after a certain point...they're mostly just there to make the timed missions more difficult, and to let you build up money if you need it...

...the enemies that are killing you in one hit are to be avoided until you are strong enough to fight them...i recommend saving the game a lot in case you get wiped out...

i wonder how far you are in the game...a lot of this game depends on getting good weapons, armor, and items...like some of the items that you can buy in the gas station can really help you in battle, like making you nearly invincible for a short time...

Thanks for checking out my game though...if you're still playing it, you can direct message me and tell me exactly what you're having trouble with, and how far you are in the game and what you have equipped, I can try to help you out.
