The Deflationary Effect
๐ A Deflationary World of Pizza Pets
Pizza Pets operates on a unique deflationary mechanic where the supply of pets decreases over time, permanently impacting the ecosystem. Dead pets are forever removed from collections, making survivors increasingly rare and valuable. Letโs explore how this deflationary effect plays out.
๐ The Numbers Behind Deflation
Pizza Pets launched with an initial supply of over 58,200 pets, distributed across 400+ communities. However, as gameplay progresses, the number of pets in circulation is steadily declining.
The Pizza Pets Halving ๐
On 19-December-2024, a pivotal moment in the Pizza Pets world occurred: the Pizza Pets Halving. Over a span of just 4 hours, a staggering 33,725 pets died, meaning over half the supply permanently bit the dust.
Initial Supply: ~58,200 pets.
Deaths During Halving: 33,725 pets.
Supply Remaining Post-Halving: ~24,475 pets.
This dramatic event caused a significant increase in value:
The floor price for Pizza Pets has increased by nearly 5x since the Halving.
And the Pet Pulverizer hasnโt even entered the game yet.
๐น๏ธ The Gameplay Engineโs Role
The sophisticated gameplay engine of Pizza Pets ensures a constant challenge for players:
Pets die regularly due to poop mismanagement, heart loss, and strategic missteps.
Advanced mechanics like PEDs, SADs, and the Pet Pulverizer will continue to impact survival rates.
Even Iโve lost pets due to a mistake in my pet milk alarm. I missed the critical death block time by 3 hours. Hereโs the story I shared:
This ongoing deflation means the supply of pets will keep decreasing, increasing the rarity and potential value of surviving pets.
๐ The Impact of Deflation on Value
As the supply of Pizza Pets decreases:
Rarity Increases: Surviving pets become more valuable as they represent a shrinking pool of assets.
Demand Grows: Collectors and players seek out surviving pets for gameplay and future mechanics like breeding in Season 2.
Strategic Gameplay Becomes Critical: The ability to keep pets alive while navigating deflationary pressures becomes a key competitive edge.
๐ฎ More to Come
This page will evolve as the game progresses and more data becomes available. The deflationary mechanics of Pizza Pets are deeply tied to its long-term strategy, and weโll continue to explore how these changes impact gameplay, value, and the broader ecosystem.
