I liked the simpler art of this one. There's something appealing about the hand-drawn look of the environment. I don't want to make any bold claims about whether or not this is "better" than the style used in the more recent full episodes, but I'll just say that it has a charm to it. And of course, there's the obligatory gross part near the end :D if I have to complain about something, the perspective in the shot with the birds around 30 seconds in wasn't very convincing, but maybe that's just me.

it's great
there's nothing to improve

...But in all seriousness, I don't really have anything to add. The animation is smooth, the comedic timing is great, and the looping is cool.

Always good to hear that there's a new Lenstar cartoon. I really like this episode, it took a lot longer than other episodes, and it shows. It is structured more like an actual "episode" than a short like the other Pike cartoons. I don't really have much I dislike about this, but I'll try to offer some ideas. Maybe consider shading or outlines on the rocks in the background that are made with realistic looking textures to make them look a bit less like flat images. Otherwise, I don't really have that much to complain about. The story is great and I like how it's a bunch of different conflicts that all add up to Pike wanting a pizza. One recommendation I have for the series is to further push the idea that Pike's Lagoon takes place underwater. My favorite parts of this episode are the parts where the characters interact with the world outside of the lagoon, which couldn't happen in a different setting. I really hope that new episodes (or shorts) will involve the outside world in their plots like this one does.

There's probably something that comes later that I missed out on, but the games were too boring to hold my interest. Sorry /:

Love it! Perfect example of a game jam game. The levels were fun and interesting, and made you think, without making levels too slow. There isn't anything preventing you from spamming the leaks, but it gives you time to break and think (although it's not that hard to "figure out" anything as 11 might be the only "puzzle"). I won in about 10 minutes, but had a lot of fun doing so. The ending disappointed me though. I was expecting there to be a joke explanation of why the bouncy house was inflating so much. What material is the bouncy house even made of? No amount of air will cause anything except for a few tiny rips. I also wonder who's saving the children. Does he have this many kids, is he a parent of one/a few of the kids or is he a parent of a different kid altogether? Aside from game-logic questions, this game is a solid 4.5 (like I give everything else in the universe, apparently)

Thanks! All of these questions are open for interpretation. What do YOU think?

Kicking butt as usual. I love checking in every once in a while to see what wild stuff you're coming out with. You've improved so much over the years, it's crazy.

In terms of synths and mixing, it's about perfect to my ears. My favorite synths are the modulating acid-like arpeggio and, of course, everything about the drop. Compositionally, though, I feel like the first minute is superior to the rest. The non-drop parts after the intro lack conviction, and the additional synth lines in the second drop detract from its power instead of complementing it. I like the choice of vocal chops, but their sound here is admittedly a bit on the amateur side, and their placement throughout the song is timid as if you didn't really know where to use them. Human vocals command attention by nature, so their relative quietness in the mix seems odd.

I was all ready to kiss your ass, but I figured writing actual criticism would be kinder. Still belongs on my playlist, though.

Ryzmik responds:

Thank you for the great review DoubleDenial, I always appreciate constructive criticism! It was the first time I use vocal chops as a main element in a song so I understand they sound a bit random at the drop.

This. This is why I use Reddit.

so much win

This is good. The ending is too abrupt though (make sure you specify not to trim the ending when exporting! Unless this is supposed to be a loop, in which case you didn't mark it as such).

I'm awesome.
