On The Rocks is essentially a power-up theme. You're more powerful, so the music changes to reflect it.

To be honest, I knew what Coccon was before it won "Best Debut Indie Game", enough to know that people who made Limbo and Inside also worked on it so it's KIND of a stretch to call it a "debut" game compared to games made by people entirely new to the gaming industry, but... whatever, I still think Pizza Tower should have won that one. "dont preheat your oven because if you do the song wont play", composed by ClascyJitto, is exactly the kind of incredibly long dumb name that makes me love Pizza Tower's soundtrack even more than I already do. It was inspired by Toastopia from the PikuNiku soundtrack, and was originally going to be darker and more sinister in tone before CJ changed it to better suit the level it plays on, which also has a goofy name: "Refrigerator-Refrigerador-Freezerator". While it's not one of my absolute favorites, I still really like it, it's a bit more chill (pun somewhat intended) compared to the more frantic and intense nature of Pizza Tower's other tunes. "Celsius Troubles", again composed by ClascyJitto, plays in later sections of the level Refrigerator-Refrigerador-Freezerator. It's basically a slightly more intense version of "dont preheat your oven", which is neat and all, but the most notable thing about it for me is something that happened with CJ themself. I once made an off-hand comment on an extended version of this track on KZbin how you could tell this is a Canadian game because it uses "Celsius". Obviously I got a bunch of replies saying that everyone except the USA uses Celsius, I guess my thought process was that it's one of several indications that this game was made by Canadians (the other being that pineapple on pizza is more accepted there than it is in the USA, hence why pineapple is unironically treated like a valid choice of topping in this game), it wasn't that well thought-out a comment anyway. But then ClascyJitto himself replied to my comment, saying their reasoning behind the title was that it takes very little to become hot in Celsius whereas it takes a lot to get hot in Fahrenheit. Fascinating insight, do what you will with this information! "On the Rocks", composed by Mr. Sauceman, is the tune that plays after Peppino eats the "Satan's Choice" pepper pizza and essentially gains Samus's Space Jump ability (which makes the Brinstar chord progression present in this track all the better) while being surrounded by flames. Also, and I didn't realize this before writing this, but apparently if players let this track play and wait before reaching Pillar John and beginning Pizza Time, Celsius Troubles plays again afterward, and this is apparently because this song was never finished and doesn't have a proper looping point. I should test this out next time I play Pizza Tower... Thanks again for doing more Pizza Tower reactions. I don't know if it's too much to ask you to do more of them, but if you do, I hope you react to "Good Eatin'".

[@LucasMiddleNameandLastname22]

my favorite name of this entire soundtrack is probably Don't preheat and also "hmm yes put the tree on my pizza" because they just sound like something someone said in the discord server and ClascyJitto decided "yeah imma make that the OST name."

[@liber2350]

I second this. Good eatin is great

[@zedneon]

Interesting idea to react to all 3 songs from Refrigerator-Refrigerador-Freezerator (the full level name) in one video! Awesome video, man. If you're keen on doing one more part, here's some recommendations: - Good Eatin' ("Golf" Theme) - Way Of The Pig ("The Pig City" B Theme) - Put On A Show! ("Ancient Cheese" B Theme) There's one more I'd highly recommend, but it's 6 minutes long; "Secret Lockin" combines many different songs from the OST into one super funky banger.

I think he's reacted to them already :)

R.R.R. its literallly the ultimate FREZZE theme, and snowy in general, with just a melody it doesnt need jingle bells to say "HEY SNOW!"

hey, just so you know, Pizza tower received an update featuring The Noise as a real playable character. It has some new soundtracks as well

I just realised after watching through all of your pizza tower reactions, when you have your violin and bowler hat on to reenact the songs you look like someone that would be in the band Pauline has in New Donk City from Super Mario Odyssey.

[@magichawk9414]

Amazing,new video! Btw can you try the ost of one post-apocalypse city building game “Frostpunk” you can start with “City must survive” and “Last Flame”

Hey, SPG, The Noise Update just came out, and the tracks friggin' slap. I think you should check them all out!! :D (I mean, for starters: Distasteful Anchovy [JC Re-Edit], World Wide Noise, and I Need a Noise)

[@phama_347]

Hello String Player Gamer, I recommend that you listen to some of the fanmade songs for pizza tower. I would love to see your reaction to “Pillar John’s Revenge” “Absolute absurdziti” and “Pasta La Vista”

[@DerTK]

Pizza Tower my beloved

[@YourlocalPTaddict]

11:48 I like to think that this part is a reference to Anton

[@GarryTale]

Amazing video! i love how you point out things i never noticed before (maybe i'm just stupid lmao) you should try listening to the Madness: Project Nexus ost (the one on steam), it has some of my favorite songs of all time i specifically recommend "Rock and Loaded", "Awful Pretty", "Dandy", " and "Enter the Nexus"

[@bennally21]

feels weird your doing pizza tower again as i thought you listened to all you wanted but im not complaining one of the best soundtracks

[@aaronTGP_3756]

I'd especially like to see an eventual reaction to Put on a Show, Way of the Pig, and Pizza Mayhem (whether it be the instrumental or full version).

[@wiza9383]

11:10 these chords and lines looks like glithtale music, appreciate a lot the way you explain the different types of music during the new ones that we hear

[@clutteryguy9747]

[@sans_fightin_development]

i watched some of your pizza tower videos.. and to be honest, great videos! the noise update had just came out and there are some more of new songs.

[@LucasMiddleNameandLastname22]

I feel as if the Pizza Tower Soundtrack probably has the best use of Overdrive Guitar Soundfonts/Power Chords in a *huge while.* Like, i don't listen to Megalovania as much as i do to freakin' Pizza Time.

[@Blackstylus99]

I'm really glad he got to listen to on the rocks. Because if you're good enough at the level. You don't get to hear it very long before pizza time

[@staverooni]

i did NOT expect the violin this guy is insane

[@JosiahBradley]

How many toppings does this song have? This is probably an example of a game i have never played but would listen to the OST.

[@ThatGuyRNA]

That’s fine and all but your honor the songs get so much better in context

[@SamSupercreation]

We all know a lot of people are gonna ask for the Noise update ost. They would be right

I recommend those next: Good Eatin' (GOLF) Unearthy Blues (John Gutter) Freefallin' (Unused/Freefall) Wudpecker (Gnome Forest) Way of the Pig (The Pig City) mmm yess put the tree on my pizza (Gnome Forest)

[@miata7560]

i absolutely recommend listening/reacting to "Bye-Bye There! (The Crumbling Tower of Pizza)" its legit epic

[@FB64_Fakebeta]

You should listen to Tim Follin music if you haven’t already listened to it. It’s INCREDIBLE what he can do with an NES sound chip.

[@mr.magicmumbles4039]

Terragon Pizza and Leaning Nightmare are unused songs, but both are probably my favorite.

[@HimphulhiemersulavanzulNewtons]

It would be funny if he just used a completely different instruments when he plays along, like a drum set. and just never mentioned it ever or did it again.

[@raderelcaroman1403]

It's been a while we didn't see pizza tower Also lmao the cocoon meme reference

[@AlexKotyaraGamer]

You should also react to Way of the pig and to Time for a smackdown. Time for a smackdown is really short but it’s such a bop just for an intro cutscene.

[@AlexKotyaraGamer]

And also while you’re on it you should check out Receding Hairline Celebration Party.

[@luigikirby000]

I hope he listens to Secret Locking, it’s my favorite song in the entire game and is a great time to listen to

[@NOTaNaBC]

SPGO, could you please also listen to Pillar John's Revenge and Absolute Absurzity(version 2)? These songs are fan made, but they are very well known in the pizza tower community, and they fit the style of the official ones. The first song is used on lap 3, where Peppino is chased by pizzaface. And the second one is used on lap 4, which is even more difficult than lap 3

[@asittingduck4786]

The Pizza Tower soundtrack has to be one of the best ones out there. I, personally, even have it in my daily playlist! Along with it many others like Terraria, Ultrakill... and Subnautica! I would recommend you to look into it sometime. Subnautica itself is a game, which is mainly about ambience and space. This can be heard pretty well in the soundtrack. So basically, the player is stranded on an alien ocianic planet, surrounded by carnivorous water creatures. The deeper you go, the creepier and more dangerous it gets. I'd recommend the following tracks: -Salutations -Sun & Moon -Lost River -Abandon Ship (community favourite) Pretty much all of the other songs are also worth a listen so feel free to give Subnautica a try! Also, great video as always!
