Peter Panic was released by Adult Swim Games in 2016. The plot focuses around Peter, a recent graduate of acting school looking to bring musical theater back to his hometown. However, he arrives to find the theater closed and in disrepair after its last show, a production of Peter Pan, allegedly ended in disaster. Peter then sets out to revive the theater with the very same show that caused the theater's demise... but he'll need to acquire funding and find the cast and crew first, all while unraveling the true circumstances of the theater's mysterious closure.Gameplay-wise, it plays almost identically to the WarioWare series: you are assaulted with a barrage of microgames lasting only a few seconds each with little explanation on how the games actually work, and the goal is to complete as many as you can before making too many mistakes and running out of lives while the games gradually increase in speed and difficulty. The major selling point, however, is the presentation: the game plays out like a Broadway musical, with a score written and performed by a wide array of actual Broadway talent. It's one of those rare games that really has to be seen to be fully appreciated.After seven months when it was released, the second act was released in October and the game is officially complete, with teasing of sequel.The entire soundtrack for Act 1 is also available for purchase.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: The bonus level has a Post Show celebration where Peter invited the developers for the game. The two even remind him that he has microgames to do.

comment
Chekhov's Gun: The boss game for the Packing Peanut Factory, which has you feeding packing peanuts to a demon, seems like yet another throwaway moment of randomness. It actually turns out to be relevant later; the packing peanuts contained a sedative that kept the demon placated while it rested underneath the factory. When explaining what happened to the theater, the CEO reveals that he was the director for the local show. This becomes important later when it's revealed why the Demon is after theater: he auditioned for the show but didn't get a part, due to an idiotic director.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Once you start Act 2, the gang acts like they haven't had something to do for a long time, which is resonable, since it took about seven months for the game to be completed.

Guide Dang It!: There's no indication in the "Smeerio" microgame that the height of your jump is determined by how long you touch the screen. Good luck getting over those bricks until you figure this out.

Freemium: An odd variant: the entire game is technically available from the start. However, you can't save unless you pay for the ability to do so. Also, the developers will keep popping in every time you complete a stage to nag you until you do.

Take That!
 Peter Panic (Video Game) / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: In the Game Dev Studio, Eric will sometimes make remarks about how awesome the game is, or about video games as art, when most microgames start. However, one of the microgames is a poorly made Candy Crush Saga clone where the sole objective of the game is to buy more credits. Eric regards this particular game with utter contempt. Then in the Apartments, it insults games with ads as well.

Shout-Out
 Peter Panic (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The Game Dev Studio level has a ton of them: The microgames themselves are all cheap knockoffs of popular games including Super Mario Bros., Doom, and Flappy Bird. In the Boss game, the player character's name is S.Iwata, and the enemy monster closely resembles a Slime from the Dragon Quest franchise. In the "Reprise" theme (when you restart the level), Eric's line "If you're gonna be a bear, be a grizzly" is taken from The Cannonball Run. In addition, the game cabinets in the Arcade resemble those of other popular games, like Dr. Mario.
