William Scott of [= NewScape=] Studios that creates animated cartoons based on (often popular) [[VideoGame video games]] (and, [[FormulaBreakingEpisode one time]], ''Series/SquidGame'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}''). Their flagship ''Logic'' animations star a [[CasualVideoGame casual gamer]] who goes by Player (the guy in the beanie seen in the picture), who often tries various video games and often {{Lampshades}} the various leaps of logic within them, all while interacting with various characters from these games. Sometimes, some of his friends (including Veteran, Mr. Cheese, etc.) will join in on the fun.

42!! TV Tropes Logic
43%%Note: This is only in regard to one-shot shorts and series without a proper page, as well as GameToons in general. If you have a trope example you would like to add that is from a series with its own page, please add it to said page instead, not here.
44* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: "Squid Game Logic" ends with [[spoiler:Player and Noob surviving while light shines upon them.]] In the original ''Series/SquidGame'', [[spoiler:only Gi-Hun survives and the mood's somber]].
45* AdaptationalJerkass/[[AdaptationalNiceGuy Nice Guy]]: Player's attitude changes in each game, being kind but bitter due to his ButtMonkey status in ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' but also being a DeadpanSnarker UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist in ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' or ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''.
46* ArtEvolution: Around the beginning of the second quarter of 2022, the quality of their animations have improved in the animation department.
47* BattleInTheRain: The squid game in "Squid Game Logic" takes place while raining and there's even a lightning just as Veteran is about to stab Player.
48* BecomeARealBoy: The doll wants to use the prize money for a surgery to become a real girl. Player finds it weird due to her robot abilities seeming much more preferable.
49* CanonForeigner:
50** Novisor from ''WebAnimation/AmongUsLogic''. Don't be alarmed, Novisor is not real in ''VideoGame/AmongUs''. He only exists in the animations to serve as a villain and a KnightOfCerebus. There isn't even a role that's similar to Novisor's especially around the time of his arc as there were only ever two roles at that point, Crewmate and Impostor.
51** Bubsy, Girlfriend's cat, in ''WebAnimation/FridayNightFunkinLogic''. She isn't from the canon, and no mods have been made for her yet.
52** Chernabog, also from ''FNF Logic''. In the series, he can turn Micky Mouse into Micky.avi, but does not show up in ''VideoGame/SundayNightSuicide'' or [[Fanfic/SuicideMouse the creepypasta said mod was based on]].
53** Killy Willy in ''VideoGame/PoppyPlaytime Logic''. He does not appear in (what we currently have of) ''Poppy Playtime''.
54* ChirpingCrickets: You can hear a cricket sound effect after 101 makes a "lose your marbles" joke that fails to impress Veteran.
55* CurbStompBattle: Thanks to the doll's innate strength, the team with it wins tug of war with zero issue.
56* DarkIsEvil: Any black, demonic entity, which happens to include Novisor, Chernabog, and Killy Willy. Heck, [[spoiler:Novisor had haunted Player and caused him to fail all his life just to make him easier to possess]].
57** Novisor and Killy Willy, in particular, were corrupted and weren't initially evil. Novisor came to be when a player named Aiden was cursed by a laptop[[note]][[spoiler:Although, it was later revealed that Aiden was actually a vessel he used and he did have more victims]][[/note]], while Killy Willy was a defect of Silly Billy.
58* DeathByIrony: In ''Squid Game Logic'', 329 is the first player who votes to stay as he really wants the cash prize. He dies in the next game after breaking his honeycomb.
59* DissonantSerenity: Samantha manages to stay optimistic even as she tells how her family perished in an ice cream truck explosion and when she's about to die.
60* FormulaBreakingEpisode: Or Formula-Breaking ''Series'', rather. ''Squid Game Logic'' is the first animation put out by [=GameToons=] that is not based on an actual video game, and so far the only one.
61* HatDamage: In the squid game portion of ''Squid Game Logic'', Player blocks Veteran's knife with his hat, though it gets cut in half.
62* IdenticalStranger: In ''Squid Game Logic'', we see (what looks to be) Veteran cracking his shape and getting shot, until it turns out the one who failed was a RedShirt who looks almost exactly like him, while the real Veteran's perfectly fine.[[note]]If you actually bother to read the numbers on everyone's tracksuits, the Red Shirt's number was 050, while Veteran's number is 001. To those with sharper eyes, the Red Shirt also lacks the lines under the chin that Veteran has.[[/note]]
63* ImageSong:
64** Any of the "The Life of X"[[note]]"X" being any character[[/note]] songs count as this, with each song being about a character's life from their birth and/or early years to present day. So far, they got out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ8mQPoFACY Mr. Cheese]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwFQFbP4QLo Girlfriend]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AGPFP7MWUk Sky]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0ihRmWtImk Whitty]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEiMKsaJ9lE Boyfriend/FNFL!Player]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17IRO2KSuco Garcello]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6czlNRWzgQ Taki]].
65** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swfgzkFBjqU How Do I Always Lose]]" is this for Player.
66** Novisor has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGMyq6Ztzzs his titular song]] as well.
67* KilledMidSentence: The first Player who tries to cross the bridge in the glass stepping stones game dies just as she's about to explain how to tell whether glass is normal or tempered.
68* LighterAndSofter: ZigZagged. Depending on whenever the game is or ''isn't'' supposed to be scary, the animations [=GameToons=] makes could end up [[AvertedTrope leaving all the dark components in]] or taking them out, such as the case for ''WebAnimation/FridayNightFunkinLogic'' where all the mature stuff was taken out of it. Said show also [[BloodlessCarnage avoided using blood and gore]] up until the Taki episode.
69* LiterallyShatteredLives: 101 disentegrates and gets shattered once he gets shot.
70* LootBoxes: In ''Squid Game Logic'', Player is in financial ruin due to buying one too many lootboxes with his mom's credit card.
71* PragmaticAdaptation: [=GameToons=] is ''prone'' to making videos that are different to the canon of the source material to varying degrees. One notable offender is "ORGIN of the WUBBOX!"--While in the canon of ''VideoGame/MySingingMonsters'', the Wubbox was the creation of the Celestial Monster Galvana, [=GameToons=]' video depicts the Wubbox being the creation of humans (to which the Monster World and the human world are separate in the canon), and has no mention of Galvana whatsoever.
72* RedShirt: Many of the ''Squid Game'' players save for Player, Veteran, and Noob.
73* SwappedRoles: The plot of ''Squid Game Logic'', but the Roles Are Reversed" involves the previous players hosting the games while the guards, the front man, and the robot from Red Light, Green Light are the players.
74* TheBusCameBack: ''Squid Game Logic'' marked the return of Noob, who only appeared in the Fall Guys Logic episodes, and a single Among Us Logic episode beforehand.
75* {{Transplant}}: If there's a game popular or noteworthy enough, leave it to [=GameToons=] to slap Player and maybe Veteran in there. Some of their own characters, most of whom originated from ''WebAnimation/AmongUsLogic'', do appear in multiple one-shot animations as well.
