After the Great Gluten Panic of 2072, most people in New City turned their backs on real food entirely, replacing meals with nutrient pods and synthetic flavor cartridges. Pizza, once a symbol of warmth is now labeled “marinara paraphernalia"& opening up a Za shop is about as dangerous as smuggling contraband cheese. But one man didn’t get the memo. Meet Mario Meatballs Armed with nothing but a dream and a rolling pin, Mario sets up shop where the neon lights fade...on the outskirts of New City. By day, he slings piping-hot pies and questionable hamburgers to the few brave souls who still crave the taste of something real. By night, he defends his shop against waves of Carb-Free Crusaders, Health Enforcers, and other diet-less driven fanatics determined to snuff out his saucy rebellion. In a world that’s lost its taste, Mario Meatballs is serving up resistance one doughy, sauce-splattered slice at a time. In this thrilling pizza-making simulation with a dash of tower defense, you'll step into Mario's shoes and manage every aspect of running a brick-and-mortar shop by day then at night fend off hordes of crazed lunatics and other totally normal things for a small business owner.
