A fun short game about a man, pizza, and his girlfriend

When I started playing this I was turned off because it's one of those games where each time you lose a life, you have to start the level from the beginning. For this reason, I stopped playing thinking that it would be too frustrating to enjoy and decided to not invest more time in it. Days later, for some reason I gave it another try and was surprised that the second time around was a better experience. So then, next thing you know I was on level 3, then level 4, and so on.
One of the things that I liked right away was the tone that the game has. The fact that the main character is a delivery guy is an original concept. For this reason, the character is always holding a pizza while running, jumping, and killing his enemies. There is also a timer that puts pressure on you so that you finish each stage faster. Not beating the clock results in losing a life which adds another layer of difficulty. At first, I disliked this aspect of the game, but as I improved I actually started appreciating the fast pacing. It just makes sense to have this in a game that is about pizza delivery.
I'm not sure how many games explore the idea of pizza delivery, but this game definitely does a good job at it. I wonder why this one wasn't released in the states.
