Straight out of the Bamboo Forest!
Meet PIZZA PANDA, a fluffy little fast-driving bear, as he beeps, bounces, and barrels his way through 20+ levels in search of the lost pizza slices. He'll have to zigzag through city streets to beat the clock, delivering the freshly reconstructed pizzas straight into the mouths of hungry citizens.
But that's not all! Puzzling hats, helpless rats, and meddlesome cats also await PIZZA PANDA and his trusty red automobile. It's non-stop action all the way to the top of the winner's podium!

Source Code
I had to minify the source all to heck in the final cart and use a bunch of data serialization and compression, but I've posted the original files here for the curious: https://github.com/andmatand/pizza-panda
Aaahhhh! What's the trick to get the baby mouse past the three cats on level 19?!?!?
Ohhh.... I worked it out immediately after posting this.
Great game. Played it all the way through, and now I have to go get all those stars!
it's really fun! i like the platforming and the speedrun concept, and the puzzles? very fun! trying to figure them out is very fun, i love collecting the pizzas too, and stacking them lol
thank you, everyone!!
i worked on this for three years and it went through some huge changes before i figured out what kind of game it wanted to be and it's so satisfying to see it finally in the world bringing joy to people; i really appreciate the comments ♥️
This is super adorable. More games should have a "put the correct hat on the animal" mechanic IMO.
That's impressive that you've been working on this for 3 years. Very fun little game.
Super fun, challenging, and well done overall. Very enjoyable and I love all the little critters. 😊
it's fun game
but at the level 10, star earning start to extremly difficult, if hat and pizza delivers exact same time it can be easier
fantastic game! cute, fun to control, fun puzzles, and excellent depth. really fun post-game section. I'm pretty sure I fully beat it -- 20 pink stars (and a few more) and the credits panda has stopped dreaming and is ready for action. such a fun game, thank you!!
@pancelor thank you!! nicee yessss I'm glad you found the post-game stuff! :>
it sounds like you did everything (as long as you also found the smaller one-off thing that the panda does not mention at all) and i love the way you described it without spoiling anything haha
hehe i did it all :)
LOVE IT good game 10/10. three years is IMPRESSIVE
I must confess I didn't like this at first but seeing the strong positive showing from others, I decided to give it another go and I'm so glad that I did.
It's great fun and I'm glad that I went into it not knowing really what I was supposed to be doing and figuring it out as I went along. The controls felt "sloppy" but I quickly got the hang of it. It's also absolutely charming and has a really great aesthetic going. The animals and wonderful for such small sprites.
Great cart but I could barely do the first few levels in the "star" times so I have no hope for the later ones.
This game is amazing. After the first two levels I thought this would be pretty simple with a light challenge, but the depth of the puzzles was really impressive. I also love the little details like their smiles and the little speed lines behind the car. Awesome work!
I love the hats in this game so I decided to take all the hats from the menu and that unlocked a secret level, now the safety studs go on the heads of the animals (to succeed in the level, you have to remove the dog's hat and put a stud on it) 
i hate my skill level in this game but i think its my favorite pico 8 game
thanks so much for the comments, everyone <3
I finally got around to posting a copy of the source code publicly if anyone is interested in that: https://github.com/andmatand/pizza-panda
thanks for playing!
The people of this city are very polite and would never dream of stealing and eating their neighbor's pizza. (Their wayward children are fair game, though)
Hahh, what a fun game! I sat down and completed all levels in one go, it was such clean, casual fun. Love the "this isn't even my pizza" animation.
This game is awesome! I collect all the hats in the level world and found a secret level, what a game!
this game is really fun :+) i only managed to get 20 gold stars but determined to fully beat the game soon!
(since i'm unable to send a DM i'm pretty sure i'm your irl cousin on the italian side [the one w/ the older sibling])
whaaat haha hi! so did you just happen to play this and then only afterwards notice my name in the credits?? or was it the result of our moms talking or something? cool to hear from you regardless. also thanks for the comment lol
i was trying to see if your website from the early 00s was still active. after a little digging i ended up across your pico-8 games instead :•) good stuff here!
-lo
this game is cool
not sure if i can beat the night levels though
This is such a fantastic game, I highly recommend it.
Also... Holy crap, I did it?!
