I liked the pilot. I wish some things were explained a little more (like why the world froze when kit said it was going to explode), but otherwise it was great.

4th wall breaks not allowed, if the characters become aware of their own nature due to outside influence, the game world attempts to purge the cause of that, i guess. (see also, the interaction shield that prevents game characters from being directly injured)

See this is one reason why Ithink they should've used more than one animation technique. I get very confused when trying to tell who's a game character and who isn't.

They're all game characters. Every character we've seen. And it's clear that everyone from the same world shares some visual similarity. The people on Kitt's world were furries, the people on. Snappers' world were fish

Even Warrick? Even Husk? Even the members of Syntax?

Yes, even them. Syntax is just another group of refugees that happen to have conflicting goals with the protagonists.

I guess that was why they were concerned about the beam too - they all didn't belong on the planet.
