Given how costly everything is nowadays, it’s understandable that you might want to enjoy a short but sweet experience that doesn’t cost a dime. To that end, Pineapple On Pizza is the game for you to scratch that itch.

In the game, which lasts only about ten minutes, you’ll head to a dance party on an island. But you’re not going to take part in the dancing. Instead, you’re going to try and break up this party and be the “pineapple on pizza” that you were born to be.

It might sound odd at first, but once you dive into the game, you’ll see the potential.
