    I love how fitting for the level's story this is. It feels sinister, as if there's something WRONG with this small, rural town (which makes sense, as they are seemingly sacrificing a cop), but it also feels somber. After all, even if the town isn't the best, does it deserve to be burned to the ground, and by your own actions no less?

    • @RedShocktrooperRST
      @RedShocktrooperRST 10 месяцев назад +28

      Yeah, the song itself gives the vibe that this town's best days are long behind it, and even without the fast italian wrecking things, they ain't coming back.

    If there is one thing that this level genuinely gets better than most actual platformers, it is telling a story purely through the game. You step off the train you took to get here, into this strange town, slowly unraveling a big conspiracy theory about the volcano, what I can only imagine is a bizarre cult sacrificing a pig cop to a Wicker Man, maybe to keep the volcano at bay? There's intrigue and developments as you get closer until you enter the volcano. It really feels like an adventure that you just went on. A+

    Listen, as a huge pizza tower fan, you knocked it out of the park with this update. The effort that the entire dev team made turned out as an absolute banger, and the entire Other Tower community is proud of yall. This is singlehandedly the coolest pizza tower CYOP mod, and the 7 months were definitely worth it. You are all huge inspirations, and I can't thank you enough for this amazing experience of a mod. Mayo for Sam btw !! :v

    When I played this level for the first time, I'm not quite sure why, but this piece in particular really took me. I think it perfectly captures the vibe of being in this doomed little town in the middle of nowhere. It goes from kind of wistful and melancholic to foreboding and apprehensive, as if the song is telling you you're watching this small town's final moments. The eerie feeling is gives is great! Something in particular about 1:32 - 1:48 gives me goosebumps.
    Like some others have said, one of the best parts of the level is the chaotic town escape during Pizza Time. The part where you're thrown upwards and blown out of the vent of the volcano is one of my favorite parts. Revisiting the quaint little town, only to find it quite literally up in flames, and the train crashed, is ironically a little chilling. From the burning buildings, erupting volcano in the background, and rising lava, it's complete mayhem. Even the traps laid out to bump you back into the lava and slow you down, while frustrating, add to the stressful "YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW!" feeling.
    Definitely one of the more demanding levels I've played but I think that's why I love it. Amazing job on the level!

    One relatively obvious thing, but one that I've noticed is that every level in Other Tower has a combination of two level gimmicks from the main game. Po-boy Bayou has Wasteyard's corpse riding and ghost transformation, with Oh Sh*t's water stuff. Golf 2 has WAR's timer and rocket riding with Golf's progression style. Idaho Volcano, from what I have seen, is a combination of Fun Farm and FastFood Saloon. Just thought I'd put that out there.

    • @Giraff3.

      This level is really a huge combination of carefully picked gimmicks from different levels.
      - Fun Farm's enemies
      - Bloodsauce Dungeon's boiling sauce
      - Oregano Desert's cows
      - RRF's thermostat
      - and not to mention the unused hay bills from Mansion

    This song pretty much emphasizes the depressing idea of having an end to your life life; you're going to exist for only a limited amount of time, and yet, here you are, making plans for when you go.
    The town has dedicated itself towards its own demise, counting down the seconds to the volcanic eruption; where Peppino, as I think I've read before, has been turned into this deity for the town, whose existence is purely a symbol of death and destruction.
    This town has been dedicated purely to its own destruction, and for what reason? Why? Because it's depressed, it has not seen a reason TO exist, and believes it so wholly that nothing here is for it - that it's just here to be a timer for the next event in someone's lifetime.

    Circumstance had me judging this level harshly (and playing terribly) when I initially played it the other day. In retrospect the only piece of real feedback I can give from my experience then is that the Lap 2 portal placement might be unfortunate for a player with 30 seconds on the clock desperately racing for the exit, only to fly directly over an edge into the portal.
    That said, having not yet replayed the level in brighter spirits, this is my favorite track of yours and was maybe five months ago (?) when someone showed me it was in the code. 0:16-0:47 especially evokes a feeling that I can't describe better than melancholy, but certainly in a good way. I think your music will be one of your greatest boons in game dev.

    While word of this level isn't as widespread as that of Golf 2, it is definitely the most perfect level in Other Tower.
    The great soundtrack (a given) and neat level design is a delight to play (when you get past the lava sections above obstructive semi-solids), not to mention all the eye-catching details when Pizza Time starts.
    It's also the least painful to P-rank, which probably affects my bias.
