I'm glad I'm really glad you actually mentioned tick
because
because
because we're entering another another dimension
because of this man like me I have no idea how this was
and we're diceing [music] [music] with the two and a half crew talking UA advers and game design too. Mate feel shak bringing the insight. We're rocking those vibes till [music] the early day life a master eyes on the prize. Tracking data through the cyerspace skies. Feeling stacks [music] colors like a wizard in disguise. Jack craft realms lift us to the highest. Two and a half gamers talking smack. Slow hockey sick. Got your back. Ads are beautiful. [music] They like the way. Click it fast. Don't delay. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. [music] Uh-huh.
[music] Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Where did you go? Where did you go?
Because I'm hot and I'm cold and I'm Yes and I'm no air con. [laughter]
There you go. Well, hello everybody. These two and a half cameras. Hey. Hey. Hello YouTube. Hello YouTube. Hello you two. And welcome everybody else. We are going to talk about what are you doing Ekko? Also AC also AC
also AC. Okay. Well, let oh well there's no AC. [ __ ] my life. But in the new flat that's a different story. Nobody cares. We are here to talk about CL of liters. Critters critters. Critters. Clash of critters.
The classic Chinese global launch. Let's let's put that
classic Chinese global launch. No, I will not use uploven.
Oh, they are. Yeah, they are using up. in comparison to everything else like not that that well as Facebook or Google. So I'm Yeah. So how does the
game look like first?
Yeah. The start starting with the game.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's start with
So for those just getting into this, why are we talking about this? What is this? So this is Lillet, our favorite guys who were kind of
slacking off to be honest a little bit with like behind the new kids on the block which is like Century and River game. So they had the Palmon game which we covered which
they still have.
Yeah. Yeah. Which is Palmon Pal world survival plus 4x kind of same setup as white out survival. And then they are still the guys that did AFK Arena, AFK Journey, Rise of Kingdoms, the former king of Forex during the COVID era and so on so forth. Or before CO era, I think before
before. So what is this?
So this is actually a coin looter RPG, a real one. Finally, a real one because we said that a little bit briefly during Capibarago that this this kind of a social casino RPG, but this is the
literal. It's like this is as best as it can get. So what we have
That's why I like it. That's why I like it.
Exactly. So
I can't play too much.
That's it. So what we have here the game quite soon, of course not immediately, but quite soon unlocks this uh pachinko.
What do you mean not quite immed like in first session?
Oh yeah, it's first session but it's not the front face. You start with battling.
Yeah, you start with battling but as soon as but after like first battle or second battle like it's already there. Yeah, it's Yeah, that's like it's not hidden like white out survival before expired for like no for three days. So, you hit it quite fast. This is basically the Asian version of their traditional slot machine. For those who don't know, this is called Pachinko. There are these parlers in Asia all over the place. Every time we go there, especially in Japan, it's like very proliferated. It's basically their version of like pulling the lever how we were in Vegas. It's like very very traditional. Looks like pinball, but it's not pinball. Uh, you pretty much spin this ball. It kind of
bumps into stuff that makes it kind of, you know, do stuff and then it drops somewhere and based on the drop it gives you points. That's it. And you put like a [ __ ] ton of these there to kind of get get more stuff. the equivalent of you getting a roll of the three whatever three hammers, three shields or whatever that coin master has or or you know monopoly or multiple doesn't have that they have the board but like all the other kind of coin looters shield is being slowly charged here if if you bump here this is the additional creature gotcha these are just like these milestones that you're hitting your XP is the city that's the important thing to kind of think about because this is the connector between the I I wouldn't say idle RPG is more like but basically ZFK you know so it's it's it's kind of idle RPG part so instead of you using all these nice monies that you get from this uh pachinko machine you get it directly put into your XP so your XP is the like connector and what your XP does
when we let's push it a little bit so we can level up your XP pretty much gives you more bonuses uh and by bonuses I mean you literally level up your creatures with it. So, you don't need to level them. Level them up manually. As you see here, here we go. Level up. All these guys level up. Therefore, their damage increase. You have even these milestones like Tatari. They are called Tatari. Basically, you collect some kind of like Pokemon stuff.
Pokemons. Pokemon from wish.
Yeah. Literally Pokemon from wish. So, you have
just just wait just wait just wait 20 minutes and you will see like what does that even mean?
Yeah. So, you have like rock boost here. You have like water boost here whatever. So pretty much by playing this pachinko machine, you level up your guys. You don't even need to level them manually because what you do here, you just upgrade their star level. You feed them some kind of a food stuff where Yeah, here for instance. Yeah, nice food which upgrades their stats. That's nice. They have also their evolutions. Again, if
you have the thing that like for instance this guy already evolved into like Bulbasaur from Wish because literally looks like that. I'm sorry.
I was waiting to say it. I was waiting to say it. It's
like a guy with a turtle behold him.
Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Like before there was the like the the one that's in the loading screen, this kind of green guy and now he's like Bulbasar from Vision. I'm guessing like his next evolution will be some Venusaur which Yeah. Or even fourth evolution. That's great. Like this is what pineapple I don't know. So yeah, you just like do these, let's say, a highlevel upgrades, but you don't manually need to kind of strategize around putting resources into this one, this everybody gets leveled on the same same way. So it's extremely simplified, which is again a big pointer why this works because again the main driver of this whole thing is the coin looter machine here. Uh as I said before when I didn't finish, how do you get the raid? How do you get to you know whatever the interesting part? So there's this star and this star means that the miniame happens. So now that
the end of the round I did this mini game happens. There we have our typical raid which is your usual kind of attacking your friend PVP social casino revenge mechanic. Call it however you want it. You can even switch camps and oh yeah this guy did something on me. So let's go to him. Why not? There you go. Bam. Shield as usual. Yeah. So again, this is one to one like it's coin looter mechanic one to one. Nothing new to it. But again, I got the money and the money is going to be turned into XP. So you see therefore more HP, more damage for my guys. No CT reset or whatever there was there. This like whole visual upgrade and connection is the iteration that they did here. This is really important to understand because our camp is basically this like ever expanding camp of stuff which again I guess will get pretty big based on the scale here. And I'm guessing these are some hidden mechanics that are unlocked later or whatever. But you see, you slowly get these shovels and the moment you get a
shovel, you upgrade and you get like a new block and you can build there. And there's for instance already there's these uh whatever pinball balls basically your energy that is your energy. So pinball full use now. Yeah, I need to kind of spin more. So we have again the multiplier that you need to get so on so forth. I didn't ever I I I don't understand if there's like auto auto push because I didn't seen it. You need to just hold it.
See that?
Yeah.
Yeah. You just hold it all the time.
Like guys, come on. Like why there's not like auto auto whatever summon. I just like don't want
auto play.
Yeah. Yeah.
I know. I know. I know.
Don't want to click it forever. So So like just there. But yeah, basically
they teach you to to push it in the first like tutorial step just to hold it all the time. Just to hold it. Nothing.
You hold it, you spin it. There's this. I think this is even better because all the balls have like more of these like anticipation events
from Kinoa. Look, most mobile games leave serious revenue on the table and it's almost never the game. It's live
ops and game ops. Kinoa is the AI operating system for mobile game operations. Flows, live segments, inner messages, push notifications, AB testing, all in one place. Real time run by the operators who actually own the numbers. No dev tickets. K first pulled plus 43% Arab play studios plus 31% revenue on that block party. Same players more revenue integrated. That's Kinoa. I personally invested as well. Thank you very much for sponsoring this episode.
So each ball can drop into like different kind of area and like be like the one for star whereas in slot machine just like you you roll three thing or or like in monopoly you just like you land on one tile and that's it. Whereas here like
is this going to work in the west? It's so
pinkoy because it's literally [ __ ] pachinko.
Yeah.
Man, I hate this mini game. This is so bad. It is literally like a hidden object mini game here. Yeah, we
literally have 30 seconds. You scroll around someone's farm. You have these minuscule critters.
I can't hear you, Yo. But
yeah, and and you need to go and find them based on their silhouettes
and uh Yeah.
And you're really bad at it.
Yeah, I'm like super bad at it. I just like Yeah, there we go. Just click on everything. Yeah, just click on everything. Yeah. Yeah.
Very easy.
This guy. This guy. Yeah. Not this guy. This guy. Where is this guy? Oh, okay. I got I got two. That's nice. Still still pretty nice. Anyway, so those were that's was the equivalent of like the safe mini game where you pick like three rings, three bricks, three whatever or like you what's the other one? You like catch money in Monopoly Go with like Fruid Ninja, whatever. Basically some mini games to change the flavor so you're not like forever raiding other people. This thing on the left is literally the same in every coin looter game where you have like shop button, then you have first purchase top up deal, then you have discount packs that rotate, then you have the chain offer,
and then you have some other whatever surprise spin wheel that they add. So like yeah, monetization on the left, engagement on the right, same exact formula where again this is just some kind of event with leaderboard da da da da da and like very small. Same goes for here. Like, you know, push it just pushes you to kind of play now because those are like very short hour hourly timers about these Pokémons. We talk about them. I'm sorry. They they look horrible in my opinion. Like
who cares from? Yeah, who cares?
Who cares?
These guys from Wish that that's it. Okay, whatever. I got this gacha box. So, let me just kind of check. For instance, I want more of my Bulbasaur. See, this is the original guy that I wish from Fring. Yeah, that's perfect. Okay, so can I evolve him now? No, I can't because I need one more, I'm guessing. Yes. Okay, goodbye. So, that was there. Daily quest stuff as usual. Again, everything just basically gives you more energy, meaning the balls that you can throw into the machine. So,
that's there. Modes. This is again going to the usual idle RPG feature.
Can you can you actually go and challenge the boss?
Yeah. Yeah, for sure. It's literally very important usual setup. This guy's rock guy. And again, we have the Pokemon whatever.
Rock, paper, scissors.
Yeah, even more like this is five elements. So, yeah,
just give you more like really like what I can choose here. Just give you more uh spend depth and more game design vectors to kind of go and create more more creatures to collect because they just strain you more on the elements like you need to have just more different teams to kind of go there. So, it's like very obvious choice. Yeah. So, so I'm guessing that if I would go forward, this will populate with the usual kind of boss challenge, this challenge, and the challenge, and you just click a button and that's it. Bye. Then you have the battle, which is basically AFK arena like streamline, the streamlined version. It's literally that by map again, it's literally that. It's like pretty much one to one as for its systemic uh feature set. If we talk
about these things, autoplay exists. So I can send my guys an auto plan. They will slowly kind of go through these nodes, but they always stop at the boss. Like you like like you seen here, they always here in the slot machine, they remind you that there's a boss, you need to go yourself. Like even if I had very strong team, you would still need to go click here and go defeat the boss yourself. So
yeah, kill him.
I think it's a kind of a managed autoplay thing because they still want you to like keep this in mind, not just like completely, you know, push it out of your attention. Yeah. Yeah. So again, you have these like usual enemies, whatever guys around you. Very zombie leen. Literally, this this thing looks like plants versus zombies to be honest. Like from
that's what I thought for the first time. I was like, why is this plans versus zombies?
Yeah, because the the game play is actually much more strategic than AFK Arena, I think. Not really much more, but like Yeah, it it has depth. Let me just say that because uh as I was checking this on some kind of highlevel play through these roads just unlock you
have more roads and more critters to kind of push here. So again the strategy and like this whole you know you changing guys based on the element just like gets strained more and more of course as you go. We finally kill the guy. That's great. See so now we kill the guy. Yeah this is also important. This is literally taken one to one from Monopoly. Like this whole kind of feature unlock setup of like the more level you have in this kind of like specific level for this, the more features get unlocked. Like this is literally like one to one. Like you can go open Monopoly. They have this exact same screen with exact same content type thing. It's just that they need to again need to connect the idol RPG part here. So we continue here. We go to chapter two. That's perfect. So again, we got a new battle and what I can do here.
Yeah, I see it.
I can just auto battle and then like go back. Same as Dragon Traveler and uh yeah, new offer of course because there's card album.
Great.
That's what I needed really.
Yeah, sure. Another casual mechanic. Who would have thought?
Yeah, there you go. So here's here's again you see that they're leaning more towards the coin looter feature set than the RPG idol RPG feature set because this is a staple now in coin looters. It it's basically your typical, you know, card collection album which is yeah ends in two two months. You get big prize which is one signature uh cosmetic avatar some big what they work little fruit and a lot of energy again like you could literally cross compare with nonpoly go again the chest system for recycling thing one to one again same exact thing. Yeah. And then these these rarities are let's say lower as you go from first one to the biggest rarities as you go to the last one. This is literally like if you open royal match multiplic this is one to one. So that's there. So yeah I'm guessing more of these can other kind of casual things will get applied. And here we see our guys fighting
play victory
while we still can play. So and there's boss and again then we need to go there. So actually I think this is very very kind of flawless execution of like trying to create a male version of coin looter for Asian audience mainly.
Male version and coin looters are only female version. Come on.
They're not female but they're I think they're much more skewed toward female. I think like 6040 or something like that.
That's why much more than 50/50.
Okay. Still but I'm guessing this is this is not going to hit even that like this is this. No, it's going to be mainly male.
It's going to be mainly male. And as I said, Pachinko being the like Asian front face for a slot machine, it's going to be Asian. Even though again, we'll see the numbers and you you will you can have your own estimate. Again, very heavy on their usual social strategy. You know, you have all the links, all the whatever stuff like join us on all the platforms. It's limit so they know what they're doing.
Yeah.
Again, rewards. Yeah. Perfect. So, I get
some more stuff because I crossed chapter one.
And now, now you can upgrade or evolve the guy.
Yeah. Yeah. And I have like some more like fake Pokemon.
Yeah.
Like I I like Yeah. I'm just like cannot unsee this [ __ ] I'm sorry.
Of course. Now it's Pokemon one.
Yeah. So, so see now now like I can do like 20 multiplier because like we have like Yeah. 2,000. So like it's going to be like giant booze of power like Yeah. This is
I really need your Bulbasar to be loved. Just to go, please.
Yeah, but also they have this other gacha. I I think I can show you after this one because they put this like Yeah. Here it is. Yeah. This is one to show.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
So, there's cap heroes in it.
Yes. There's cap heroes in it. Yes.
So,
here is look from the beginning.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is also from the beginning. I think like first.
Yes. Yes. Because this is again one of the ways how you get these guys like instead of just so what you do you can actually if you time it properly and I'll do it for you. You can actually
completely like destroy this machine like like it it just go because if you align five and 20
Yeah.
into one one thing it just like it will completely overload.
Right. Do it. Do it. Pressure
now. See it's just like that's it. And I can do it even even more stronger if if I align it better. But like, yeah,
there you go.
We got all of it. Like that's
on first shot. So, it's not really about difficulty. It's just like some kind of other flavored mini game they put into it. And and yeah, what the challenge is there. That's perfect. Again, another mode. Exactly what I said. They just again put put in more mini games, more modes, whatever. Welcome to dojo.
Yeah. So, mini game
or
only water. Only water. Yeah, it's the elemental mode. So like the, you know, you can only use your water Pokemon here because we want for you to create all the water Pokemon steams. And by the way, gameplay can be four times
immediately, which is perfect like or even skipped. No, I think somewhere the boss could be skipped if you're too too strong like like you just like get on with it.
You're winning, which is great.
So this is the asynchronous arena, I think. Again, more fake Pokemon. Thank you, Dentacru. And now you can now you can leave.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
You need to evolve the Bulbasar. Come on.
I can evolve him. Oh, yes. Oh, I can evolve. I have the stuff.
But I can only star him up. I don't think so. I can evolve him. So if I can evol No, I cannot evolve. This guy is pretty. Okay. No, I cannot evolve him. You need Yeah. Two more stars to evolve him. But the evolutions are good.
Maybe. Let's Let's Let's Let's do this.
He's hot. Yes. Yeah, we need we need you.
No. Three out of five. [ __ ] Okay. What? Two more.
We should have go for the cat.
Yeah, it's human unlock. Anyway, so it's a very very nice connection and the
iteration of putting social casino like the coin looter standard core and standard meta into idle RPG. That that's basically what this game is. And I think it's very nice. It's very very precisely done. and they know exactly what they're doing. They know like precisely why these things work like they work and so on so forth. So I think like that's there. The big question is how will this go forward? Because again, social casino isn't really the genre or coin lutters isn't really the genre to like, you know, games, new games grow like mushrooms. Because as you saw here, the latest trend with these games isn't really the one that this game is following. Because this game is following a nice iteration of adding idle RPG into the mix, but it's missing the front end. And by front end, I mean your kafir GTA YC. It's missing the idle team park of Top Tycoon or Carnival.
Yeah. Isn't Isn't the like the the front end the the zombie version?
What do you put like heavy CPI front end? Idol RPG.
No, no, no. I mean the
the pinkov
plans plants versus zombies.
Plants versus zombies. I don't think so. I'm really looking forward to the creators, but this is the only thing that I'm I'm like I'm not happy about this game that it's ignoring the latest trend of you need to have a front end in social casino to follow. But don't you know Lily are literally just sleeping on trends because they would have like a new forex game already if they follow trends.
They have it's called Palman Survival, but they're struggling with it.
Exactly.
I mean, it was
that's the trend that they're following. That's the one I've said. That's exactly that. So, it's not like they don't know how to do this. They know how to do this. They know how to do this but not
I'm guessing this game was much more further down the development when when when this thing kind of was put on table or whatever decided.
Uh you think so? I mean the top tycoon and carnival tycoon are quite old already.
Uh I'm talking about Palman survival actually.
Oh Palman. Okay.
Yeah. Anyway,
could be.
So Clash of Creatures the numbers. This game was launched in May 21st. Very important. By the way, before we get to the numbers, this was actually in soft launch all the way in January 2025.
Oh, I can I can see this going for a lot of iterations until it landed in this.
So maybe if if you would dig into this, which again depending on the performance we will or won't we can check like if this can because this is like quite like a like big soft launch. is, by the way, on Fair Light Games account, not not le which
which is
which I'm guessing is I would need to add these like to get the full revenue.
Did anyone say web revenue? Yeah. This episode is brought to you by Fastpring, the no drama D2C partner that's been scaling with mobile publishers for over 20 years. They're fast growing, profitable, and seriously reliable, which is more than you can say about most vendors in this space. Anyway,

Because there's no Rise of Kingdoms. There's no
What do you mean there's no Rise of Kingdom?
Do you see Rise of Kingdoms here somewhere? It's not. It's just like Call of Dragons this light and all the other like
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Fair enough.
Yeah. So I'm guessing there can split whatever.
But just add another publisher you have there
where ah another publisher.
Yeah. Li games.
Li games.
There you go.
There you go. Okay.
Yeah. You're welcome.
Yeah. Thank you. So, where do we see
Rise of Kingdoms?
I still don't see it here.
Yeah,
because you only have for some reason
iOS.
Where?
Yeah. Go Unified on the right hand side.
That was the problem. Or was it?
There you go.
Ah, there's Palmon Survival. Go.
Where's Rise of Kingdoms? Damn it.
Oh, there. Anyway, interesting. an interesting number.
Something something that like 300k a day that you cannot decipher.
It [laughter] could be it. I don't know. But
we have an idea.
No, it's not.
No, I don't. We have no idea. What is this?
We have no idea because it's again as usual. It's something that we cannot.
This is not Rise of Kingdoms. Yeah, this is this is crystal
Hunters do arena. Whatever is this? Okay. No idea.
Okay. So,
anyway,
back to the game. Pretty long time in soft launch. Now it launched and it's doing something like 200k per day even though it's already declining because it has a pretty good start of like quarter million downloads a day and then
it's there. Let's do [ __ ] filter as
usual. US is actually the leading demographic which is quite surprising in my opinion.
It's interesting
because I thought there would be Japan all over the place here and it's not.
Is it even live there?
Yeah, let's let's check because it could be the other. Yeah, it is. Oh no, it's not zero downloads.
Zero downloads. Zero download means it's not live.
Yeah, it's zero downloads. Like, come on. It's not even in South Korea.
Yeah.
So, right there. Even though even Taiwan. Come on, man. Like, this is not this not live in the the main markets yet.
Yeah. So, that means it's soft maybe for them.
The US soft launch.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The classic Chinese.
No, it's reverse hobby. Hobby does this first Asia then US. These guys do first US hobby. Yeah. Okay, fair enough.
Yeah. Yeah.
So, as soon as this lands and I don't think it's China either. So,
it's just Singapore and Thailand.
Oh, hello. Hello there. I didn't see you. Thank you very much for coming to this episode. Uh, it's brought to you by our sponsors, PVX Partners, the simplest

Don't wait. [music] Go to pvxpartners.com which is pretty which nothing. Yeah. suggest that it could be just soft launch.
Yeah, pretty much
because I'm guessing like
Japan, South Korea and Taiwan like those are going to be the biggest ch biggest countries have 100%.
So therefore, take this with a grain of salt what I just said that they're declining or whatever because it could be just that they're waiting for
opening the gates at the main demos later until they figure something out. But it's still not really their their core, you know, coin looters don't do they do really well in Japan. I mean like the base ones.
I mean you have the [ __ ] center tower in front of your eyes. Just check.
Yeah.
Instead of asking questions. And I don't think that's that's a valid question either because none of these are skewing like towards like the Asia as hard as this game
the these guys. Of course not. Of course not. Of course not. So I don't think that's pointing revenue of like what what these guys are doing. So let's take coin master because it's like very
yeah very stable.
Very stable and I guess very uh traditional in this
Taiwan is right there. So 140 million.
Mhm.
Not bad for Tai Taiwan. Then Japan
there. Wait wait wait wait you cross Japan. It's it's it's right there.
30 mill. Okay. So nothing really.
Okay. This decimals. Sorry.
Slovakia 7. Czech Czech Republic is more.
Yeah. Korea. Korea is like nothing.
Nothing. Okay.
Okay. So again, this is not really their traditional thing which maybe means why they put in the pachinko in.
Yeah. Okay. But even like the the whole visual style screams Asia.
Yeah. Of course. Like this is this this this looks like a game from Load Complete or you know.
Yeah. I wanted This just looks Korean to me, not even Chinese.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Because they have this very specific like cutie small chibi head, you know, big head, small body stuff and like all these things. So also you see these these emoticons, those are like directly from Korea or Asia or or whatever.
Asia. Asia.
Now our dear listeners just want to know Mach. Do they also have cute creatives?
Yeah, they definitely don't have ads if you're asking that. I don't have ads. No, he just wanted to stop you so we can we can progress.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
27 minutes is not that bad for this kind of a bold iteration. Let me just say it's very bold.
Bold iteration. Bold with an A or bold with a with O.
Yeah. If you know what I mean. Anyway, so this is what I said with Chinese lounge. It's pretty much Facebook and Google all over the place. There is there there are more channels like Tik Tok and you are going to [ __ ] bricks when I show you Tik Tok that's for sure and also upload and and other other stuff but okay let's go here so very impressive very impressive number of creatives a very impressive
what do you see yeah of course obviously come on man like this
you can't launch a game without lower oh is laurels. Whatever. [snorts]
This is dark war. Basically,
this is dark war. Yeah, dark war. Do you think this is AI? I think this is AI.
Yeah. Yeah,
most likely.
This is definitely AI.
I'm guessing with their assets.
Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I mean, you can't, you know, like
you can prompt it.
I can I can show you one AI which which mate
this definitely mate did and it's insane. You wouldn't even you wouldn't even notice. Pretty much look like looks like a game. Obviously fake game but still. So we have so many look
what was there?
Evolve into Charizard. Sure. Rubble.
Yeah man. Like they they don't give a flying [ __ ] if they are just doing
Charizard man. That's the tagline for this episode.
Yeah. [laughter] This this reminds me a little bit of
Yeah. See, see the guy even the guy basically from which
just wait man just wait. I mean this is not even anything. This is this like
this kind of little trailer again reminds me Mo a little bit but this is definitely way better execution. We have all the different things my dear friends
but there you know like I I know that this is bold and everything and they don't give a fing flying [ __ ] but you know guys you know you'll be fighting on on your home turf which means Tokyo court where Pokemon was never defeated.
Yeah. Well honestly that's not that's not my fight to to fight. So I don't care. I I don't care man. I don't really care. I only care about all of these different videos which are very very impressive.
This train looks like Angry Birds.
I mean,
man, it's Pokemon all the way.
It's Pokemon all the way.
It's Pokemon all the way.
I mean, they already stole the Pal world anyway, so who cares? I mean,
and again, we're not stopping here.
Palmon.
Palmon. Yeah, Palmon.
Amazing music.
Brought some. Yeah, fake. fake ash and fake. This is what? Yeah. Zubat Zubat with pink face. Anyway, so it's all of these different different videos and creatives and they have a lot of them and also like things like this.
Oh my god. [laughter]
Yeah,
filters are back in.
Filters are back in the game. Yeah, filters are back on the menu.
Not only filters, but all of what I can say like the music is absolutely amazing. It's really really good. It's like it's it's all over the place. Like it's really like this is a is really like rock music which I appreciate in this in these videos. They have all the different things, right? Oops.
Oh, really?
Yeah. [laughter] Yeah.
They have [ __ ] patent on this. I know it,
man. It's fine.
No, they call the up police. Call the up.
They have patented this that like throwing balls into monsters. They
patterned like that's one of the first first salvos they thrown at power world. Power world I think has changed because of that. Yes.
Look look how they care.
See this. Hello. I don't care. See you at court maybe.
Wow. This like Pokemon in play creative.
Yes. I I'm telling you like they have so much or so many crazy stuff. I was very impressed. Very very impressed.
Wow. And that's very nice. We are not We are not stopping.
Please tell me you have also the Team Rocket.
Wait, please just wait. I'm I'm very proud of what I've what I found.
What I've seen.
Yeah, I'm very proud because this is just like bunch of crazy stuff. But again, like this is but this I can I can see how how some of these things work really well because then let me show I'm going to show you some
and list. Mhm.
English voice over. So obviously all of these
Yeah, there's a fake Pikachu.
But wait a second. This is the one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's why I I told you just go for Oh, this is Okay. Go I told you go for the the boss challenge because this is pretty much like the boss challenge but in in actual creative
different perspective like perspective. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. See, it's like this is pretty much why that survival right here. Thank you very much.
Fun triplet.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is
Oh my god.
Yeah. I'm just wondering like how or if this actually even work.
Do they have forex concepts in this?
Yes, they do. Again,
usually forex concepts. Yeah. Everything forex concept. Everybody
copies the efficiency.
H this Oh, let's let's let's let's let let me show you more. Ah, this is what we've seen before. We have the UGC stuff which is all all over the place. I mean, again, I don't think these work
actually, but I
Yeah, this is basically zombies.
Yeah, exactly.
Hey, there's a there's a Venusaur right there.
On the left. Yeah,
on the left.
Yes. Catch and play. Stress away. Of course. Roxilla, we have everything.
Rex,
don't worry. We have everything, you know. But this is this is also just want to mention that this is very very like I think like musth have concept for all the gacha games that you have like we're giving away thousand pools whatever something and and you even put the code into creative or something.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's always Yeah. So it's everywhere.
Sorry. I have no idea what I'm watching but still like
Yeah. Exactly. What is this?
This Yeah. This is it. I mean
this is like adventure.
Yeah. Pretty much
a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. So, all the concepts, man. All the concepts. One second. What else do we have? I can Let me show you this. And see,
there's a chart.
There's Yeah, there's a fake or just pig or whatever. I mean, doesn't matter. So, this is like
pocket pet adventure.
Yeah. Loads of loads of things. Sorry.
Yeah. Yeah. Really nice.
Afterwards, we saw him heading straight towards the mountains. some 70 kilometers away. Ah, that's the you know this meme the the the lonely penguin.
Exactly.
Yeah. Yeah. But why again?
Guys, you should you should do this like for more than 18 seconds because if you if this is like a proper story of like 35 45 seconds, they would definitely work way better.
One picture or not or no?
Yeah, that was this is all all YouTube. But I'm glad I'm really glad you actually mentioned Tik Tok
because
because
because of this
we're entering another another dimension. What the [ __ ] man?
[laughter] Are you kidding?
Because of this, man. Like me, I have no idea how this was a problem.
The only thing I know in IP infringement is you don't touch Pokemon because they go after you like the biggest. I told you,000. See you in Tokyo, man. This is really like all really all go.
This is all AI. Seems like AI
looks like AI. Looks like AI
but with actual characters.
Yeah, exactly. I mean, this is pretty pretty good. But maybe this not. No, no, no. This actual like Pokemon.
Maybe they stole it from like some of the some of the games. Not only I'm not sure like which
this this game doesn't exist if I understand correctly.
If if I understand correctly what
I know Pokemon games, man. Like this is I think this is just AI
could be. Yeah. I mean
but these are all actual Pokemon like
these are all
like there's zero even effort to change them.
Of course.
But how would you train like look at it? It's right there.
Yeah, of course. I mean of course it is Ash.
Everybody's exactly Ash, man. Like everything is exactly as it would.
Yeah. Yeah. It's all Pokemon.
Let me double check. It's not the new game because the Pokemon champions or what was it already went away on Nintendo.
So look, I mean I don't think you can replicate this with AI that that well even even Chinese. I mean which is far ahead from everybody else. But I don't think like this is that possible. Or maybe it is. But let's you know let's say it's just some random game. I'm guessing it's that
although you have this which is pretty much Pokemon as well.
Yeah,
I love this so much.
I'm guessing it's that it's Pokemon champions.
Yeah. Again, I mean it has to be a game which is already life because
or maybe it's just like good AI. I don't know.
It's good AI, man. It's
But this is like zero effort. Like this is like you know like
who cares? Who cares? I mean Jakob [snorts] cares man. I know Yaka cares, but I don't. I mean, they just stole this.
Biggest IP in the world.
I know.
Period.
Yeah, I know.
And most aggressive also on the
as you said like
Oh my god. Actually, at least Yeah. Very good. Very good. Very good hook. So these we already watching like what's what's
But they're not live in Japan. They're not live in Japan
for good reason.
They're running Japanese creative.
Good reason. But they're running Japanese creatives. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait. Let me go back here cuz this is Tik Tok US. Not really. Can't be in the US because it was Japanese.
So,
so
how did you get to this filter? That's all like real in Japan.
Yeah, Tik Tok in Japan.
But it's not
But on the download curve.
Yeah, exactly. Because I think they got into troubles in Japan maybe
like already. Yeah, that's why it's not live because these are old creatives. Look, they ran four months ago.
This is just a snapshot. Mhm.
No. Yeah, they ran four months ago and now they're not live anymore.
Sort by newest or like something like that.
It's eight creatives, man. Like
it's eight creatives, right? So it's all all are basically ticking time bomb. All of them.
No, no, no. Like all ended like four months ago. Like these are not live anymore. These were running in in soft launch. Maybe they were just stealthily testing the the CPI or something for this
with Pokemon creatives.
Yes,
all of these are running from like January till May.
But but man, like think about it. Like you're running a Pokemon from Wish Team. So of course you want to know what's the actual Pokemon CPI.
But the thing is like they stopped running this in Japan like right before the global launch.
But Japan is not even in the global launch included.
That's a good point. So something is is really awesome. Something's a miss.
Yeah, something is really off. But what
is it? Is it this?
I don't think we're going to solve it now.
Yeah,
of course. No, but I mean it's really interesting. It's really We can we can check.
How can they do this?
I mean, these are all new though. These are
Yeah, of course. This is all all the brand.
Yeah, this is the the boss challenge video.
But it makes sense because this is fake Ash. You cannot sue them.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, this Yes. is all fake. is your Bulbasaur for
maybe they're throwing the the the the ball the Pokeball thing like that's I think if if they're patent the hold I don't know if you even hold
doesn't matter doesn't really matter so all in all like this is like in terms of the creatives a lot of different [ __ ]
how are we looking at the yeah this dark survival 101
yeah yeah of course
yeah how are we looking at the number of creatives per month
it was 3,900 one sec here
and how many playables out of that 4,000 Okay. Okay. So, pretty much no play balls.
I mean, yeah. What the thing is it's
going to be here. So, like very small
Poké Balls.
Very small amount in it right just like No.
Okay. It's right out survival. Okay. We don't need to play it.
Not even right out survival, man. Well, kind of.
It is. It's just not, you know, chopping bears.
Yeah. But this is pretty much Oh, [ __ ]
We've seen this before. Yeah. Uh yeah, it's it's yeah, it's like the cookie cutter play.
It's fizz dome. And we talked about this on the on the playable trends episode. So this is it. Okay, nice. So, and yeah, we can try this one. Yeah, it's actually picking up. They started doing some some stuff recently. Okay, let's see. Oh, man. Let's fight tower defense.
Tower defense. Yeah, tower defense.
This is random dice. Yeah, pretty much. Exactly. That's it. Yeah. So, all in all, Chinese global launch again and a
lot of videos were less playable.
Global launch, not Chinese.
They said I couldn't make ads without the dev [music] team. They said I couldn't understand the tech. Guess what? I just made a fully working gorgeous top to play while eating noodles and watching trash TV and taking care of my daughter. All thanks to Playable Maker. [music] No code, no stress, no cheat.
Chinese global launch, meaning Google and Facebook. Google and Facebook. That's what I mean.
That's what I mean.
Okay. So, what's going to happen here? Do we wait to get the final verdict on this when they launch finally in Asia?
I think so.
Check check when that happens, which could be still like months away.
We'll see. We'll see in the review.
Yeah, review radar we take care of this. But it's extremely bold iteration of what they're doing here. I'm still kind of not convinced that it will fly. But like let's see.
Ooh, you are not convinced. Okay.
Yeah, because uh as I said the market there is not really the coin looter market and like I haven't seen like a proof of concept of that even like some signs of it. I don't know. But it's definitely like a good iteration. And it's just like again I would what do I would change it? I would add the front face funnel or some like idle stuff or whatever
idle stuff with Pokemon and catching Pokemon. I mean they have it in the Pal world Palmon survive Pal. So I mean why not use it here?
Scaling at least to like what like 300k a day degree or something. Yeah. Let's see.
Okay. See you on the review radar.
Thank you very much guys. Have a nice day. Ciao. Cheers.

Clash of Critters represents a strategic attempt to capture market share by blending coin-looter mechanics with idle RPG progression and social-casino raid features. By integrating earnings from pachinko-style gameplay directly into creature evolution and team-building systems, the title seeks to create a cohesive loop that bridges casual engagement with long-term progression. Despite this technical polish, the game currently lacks the aggressive front-end funnels and high-engagement hooks characteristic of top-tier social casino hits, leaving its long-term retention potential uncertain.
The project’s marketing strategy has been defined by a high-volume, high-risk approach that heavily leverages Pokémon intellectual property. Through the use of AI-generated creatives and direct character likenesses, the developers have aggressively tested market interest and cost-per-install metrics, particularly within Japan. However, the recent withdrawal of these specific campaigns suggests a pivot driven by potential legal pressure or a strategic decision to mitigate litigation risks. This reliance on "fake" gameplay trailers and borrowed aesthetics highlights a broader trend of using established, recognizable designs to bypass initial user acquisition hurdles in a crowded mobile landscape.
Currently focused on the United States, the game generates approximately $200,000 in daily revenue, though its ultimate success hinges on its performance in Asian markets, where it has yet to see a full-scale launch. Analysts remain skeptical of the title’s ability to scale, noting that the current iteration requires deeper idle mechanics and more robust collection features to compete effectively. While the developers utilize rapid, no-code ad iteration to maintain visibility, the game’s reliance on derivative mechanics and its precarious legal positioning create significant headwinds for sustained growth. Future performance will depend on the ability to transition from a reliance on borrowed IP to a sustainable, original gameplay experience.
