I have not played Pizza Tower so I can't say how faithful this level is to the source. The only real criticism I can give is that the first part on the tower 45s in is too red and grey. Otherwise the level does wonders with its colours. Like in the first part, the purple, yellow, and blue look great. The tower part is hardly faulted by the less interesting colours, as movement is done well throughout the level. Like with the structures flying everywhere from the bombs, or the flashlights with the propellors. There is a lot to see. The level is also very clearly a passion project, with all the detail to art, colours and sound effects.

The first thing you notice about Menace is the phenomenal use of effects, which visually is its main strength. What makes a level great to me, besides just having quality design, is the theme and image. The poem is existentialist, making it a level that has a philosophy, which is really cool. I love levels that tell a story. The aggressive and abbrasive visuals compliment the idea of rejecting a higher authority. As a Christian I wouldn't necessarily agree, but I greatly admire the vision. I also greatly respect Manny for composing the song, and actually writing the poem. Clearly a lot of dedication was put into this.
