Testing 6 Commercial Games That Were Made by YouTubers

hi there this is jonas and apparently i'm not the only youtuber making indie games so today i would like to play some other youtuber indie games and rate them if they're crap or nice but before we continue if you enjoy platformers or if you enjoy suffering consider downloading my game will you snail on steam please i'm hyped up let's go play some youtuber indie games the first youtuber game i want to try is drug simulator i mean a hyperbolica by code parade funnily enough this game came out in the same week as william snail i've been watching the devlogs i'm extremely curious to try it so this is basically weird geometry the game okay it's starting out with some text alright class welcome to the virtual reality learning center the circumference of a circle is pi times the diameter yeah we know all of that but you're telling me you're gonna screw with those rules now aren't you and what better way to reinforce these concepts than with homework wow i bought a game just to go back to school what is this what is this nice fancy lights cool music [Music] so far this seems really well made whoa

so i was right with calling a drug simulator after all oh my god am i in weird world now am i in drug land now that's probably the story i fell asleep during class and now i'm in drug land i appreciate your writing it's good writing but it's not very suitable for action-packed youtube videos we need to get to the action bro don't worry i'm fine i'm completely fine okay what do i need to do can you tell me what else okay that's what you get for skipping and now we're in dreamy land or we took yeah we took certain substances before going to class oh we definitely took certain substances before going to class this is so cool wow this feels so weird this feels moving forward feels like i'm just zooming in for some reason wow that's so trippy hold it right there you're trying to enter the maze of pilly [Music]

uh yeah you'll need a nap map before i grant you entry i'm looking for a map and i'm looking for an oracle and i'm already getting dizzy oh my god oh nice a trampoline that's cool we get to see how the game looks and behaves when you go up into the air okay that's very that's really cool and interesting nice i love that that's there that's very smart whoa cool music i love the music change greetings uh what is that word relations felicitations you are lost there's something locked away beyond your grasp please take this map with you on your journey okay now we can go on a new adventure and we have to find the five platonic

crystals so there was one place i could only go go to with a map i think it was the forest thingy there's another portal here let me see if i can go in here now nice i can go to the farm it's this like the sphere space yeah yeah i see i've seen it in the left blocks uh if you don't mind i'll just stay in the spine for now having a roof over my head makes me feel less dizzy go go go go go just let me go out just let me go out yeah nice wow that's what i mean right can you just design something like this in unity level editor like how do how do you go about building a weird geometry world like this i don't understand nice jump pads yeah [Music] my brain is so confused uh would you be

so kind to lend us a hand with your growth or predicament sure wow thank you now we don't want to harm the little critters just show them some love and gently help them get on their merry little yeah give me the power blaster three thousand let's go back hunting where are you oh there you are [Music] wait it looks so weird [Music] okay i need to i think i got it i think i need to shoot them from further away because when they hear the noise they hide [Music] yeah there you go [Music] nice i heard a nice sprinkly sound that probably means we got them all

nice beautiful very rewarding uh i heard you're looking for one of them platonic crystals i just so happen to have one right here [Music] awesome we got one of the five crystals only four more or something like that and i'm sure the other worlds will be just as weird as this one yeah this is great this is great man cool gameplay is fifty percent reading and fifty percent wondering where to go the world feels very alive and it's fun to explore 10 out of 10. next up rod flash by missy seas i've definitely been wanting to play this one i'm happy i finally have time for it now let's give it a go okay so i think we can customize our body now and this is a game where you swap out body parts and all that weird stuff and apparently every body part gives different stat

boosts finished character yes that's quite a unique look i like it kill lean wsd to move cool mouse to aim and i shoot with my finger okay okay i picked up some kill [ __ ] i forgot how to activate them with f or something kf52 commonly referred to as kill [ __ ] i think i saw this it just gives me nice slow motion effects and what button do i need to press to use it f okay wait is this game actually this hard

not getting past the first enemy ah i completely missed that weapon there oh yeah i get way better feedback or kelly kelly now oh i can take some organs i will do that yeah give me your organs so oh no [Music] why do i have such horrible aim excuse me do you want to kill me you make very weird talking sounds sir recently i have not been able to receive

script broadcast anymore i believe some bandits nearby activates a radio chamber okay so should we just destroy the radio gem i think i know where it is not here okay okay yeah yeah you sure sure oh great i forgot to reload that was a completely wasted kill [ __ ] as you can tell i'm really good at shootie shooty hold right mouse button to eat oh that's how you regenerate health oh that's gross uh for our monotone this world looks it's surprisingly easy to navigate i like that there are some eye catchers and stuff that you can use to orient yourself okay so we can talk to his sister now and we can plunder his freezer if we want there's just one lung in there or what is this here i'll put my lung into your freezer and take your lung i love how they jiggle around hey there's an underground rail system there's an entrance to them

nearby but it's locked and we don't have the bio keys to enter anymore so we need to explore the bandit camps and find the keys consider it done yeah this could be the entrance to the underground rail system terraformers rail system and transporting terra worm trapped inside do not enter it detects vibrations in the earth as long as you are walking on the ground it will move towards you okay um but we do want to we kind of do want to enter right or we need to find the keys first okay whoa [Music] yummy oh god this is so gross [Applause] [Music]

oh great i did it during reloading again oh that's a key yeah nice nice there's a little path oh i love it what don't jump scare me like that oh how did i get up there yeah yeah i'm coming once i find the way up chill out for a sec just chill out there or come to me you died i have more games to play that's what i'm gonna call it here but it's very cool nice drops you right into the action very organic movement organizing i don't know world is fun to explore

the music bullies me into fighting more than i want to 10 out of 10 the main thing i noticed right away is there's no full screen option that's a shame and it's a co-op multiplayer game and i don't have any friends but i think there's a single player mode let's see oh wait the tutorial requires two characters ahead we don't have two characters let me see if i can just play the game let's go for the solo adventure i want to be this guy oh he looks so happy and it seems like there are 11 levels for the solo adventure okay and just need to score the balls into the enemy goal and get rid of the enemies and the meanwhile okay that's pretty difficult for our first level i would say different weapons cool

yeah nice juicy next level this level seems easier than the first level victory next level can enemies put anything into my goal is the question okay it's pretty fun it's pretty fun lots of juicy effects on the screen not bad i don't entirely understand the point of my goal though how do i oh enemies touch me i lose my goal loses points okay [Applause] god you have to be so focused to play this oh my god i can't even say anything [Music] one more victory i want a juicier victory animation though now there are enemies spawning enemies hi

oh geez easy let's see how the last level looks like just out of curiosity it's pretty cool that you can skip ahead man that stupid goalie holds all of my projectiles oh they they're finally shooting projectiles at my goal that's cool i would have liked to see that way earlier because then the entire goal mechanic would have made a lot more sense okay i'm done cool love it have to play this in multiplayer sometime unfortunately friends are not included but if you have friends this will be very

bollow oh my god i almost forgot an l here oh great i spotted that that's great cool yes i do recommend here we go archwell by idis cool devlog series i enjoyed it a lot let's try out the game it looks very well made oh very juicy ui yes child of archville the paradise beyond awakening not another reading game i dare you go forth awaken child okay okay [Music] this looks juicy as hell yes i love it i love it can't go through here yet okay i bet once we have our weapon we can return and go through there [Music] okay that's good works quite well feels nice oh very juicy oh my god it's so juicy ah the juice the juice yes okay i can see this

getting a little cluttered i wish like my character had a stronger highlighter so i could keep focus on my character more easily especially like this aim target here's kind of more more grabbing that than in the character but okay i i don't want to complain too much because this clearly looks super beautiful now we're leaving the tutorial zone i guess very nice change of mood and atmosphere [Music] oh fountains restore your health and healing flakes if you fall in battle you will awaken at the last fountain you used so is this not a roguelike i thought this was a roguelike oh it's not a rogue like it's more like a metroidvania thingy it seems um oh god i will throw potted you timberwell oh this is not

what i expected at all i expected like a roguelike i love it apparently there's another city here wow and some massive map to explore i saw a slime the size of a house nobody believes me though i believe you i believe it's a boss we gotta fight later on hey old man let me slap you in the face throw this there you go clearing these stages and just destroying everything you can feels very satisfying everything in this game feels satisfying dash dash i'm using the dash i can't stand the feeling of not having destroyed something a little chesty a boomerang and just like everything it feels kind of satisfying to throw i'm not entirely sure if it's better than the blade but it's definitely decent it's weird as it sounds i think i prefer the blade more satisfying aussie oh yeah there there's the giant slime we found that quickly

dang it no problem [Music] we'll just try again i think the boomerang is actually the correct choice for the boss fight because it has larger range dang why did i lose so much health there no no no don't change your attack patterns whoa take that evil little slimy thing nice do i get another half heart increase chance of enemies to drop hard okay i have to stop playing now even though i really enjoy it wow this is so fun wow so juicy i hate it because you're putting other developers to shame with this quality level it's

so juicy you'll never have to buy juice ever again wow okay swords and magic and stuff by mikhail kocher the gamepad doesn't do anything okay i'll use the mouse let me make character oh yeah a beard yeah here i'll i'll be a pirate or something mr pirate face play yeah my pirate look worked out we're starting on a pirate ship and there's like nothing on my ship left made a bit of a crash landing so let's just jump into the water i guess and try not to drown oh yeah why can i not apply ah okay now i have a shield and a stick okay very juicy i came to this island to destroy everything on it and to plunder

it for resources okay so just very classical adventure game i expect some quests and some towns and some crafting and here's where it begins blacksmith yeah hello again traveler glad to see you're not too shaking up after that crash i'm a pirate i'm gonna rob you die crap the only true crap game you still remember all the training i gave you on the ship right so you can defend yourself in the terrain sure we figured it out it's a little weird that the dialogue options are above the speech bubble so i can read the dialogue options before reading the text really funny this looks like um the 3d version of archvale kinda it really it really does it really feels like the 3d version of archvale bye die oh my god it actually worked just like an archway i can mine resources with my weapons okay i should stop comparing these two games just you know if you play them after one another

there's a drawing of a catapult throwing you into a hole after the catapult threw you into the hole a spearman attacks a crab and they both turn into a square well i i reached a dent dead and quite quickly here why am i so bad at jumping why can't not even get up here oh out there is where it work continues secrets i like secrets oh that's a big crap you can appreciate this little secret room yeah very nice oh finally finally stay oh that's so nice ahoy don't worry mr pirate face me and sheldon are just

fine we landed on bed over there with the ship hit the and the ship hit the rock why do you have a green moustache we need three fresh crab claws to fill our bellies how many wrap claws do i have way more crab clothes than that do you get those three crab claws oh thanks mr pirate face i knew i could count on you let me cook these up real quick hot touch all right there you go a hot steaming crab claw fresh off the fire give it a taste it'll keep you healthy keep you healthy [Music] let me know what you think where are the cooked crab claws here gives five health and one vitality so a temporary bonus and a health bonus okay destroying little crabs some spectre impressive how you can perform your attack animation underwater impressive how you can perform your idle standing animation underwater impressive how long you can hold the air i feel like mr pirate face

yeah waters this element he loves water and the developer if watching is like oh god why did he go off swimming because i can alright let's go to the mainland right wait are those crabs stronger here come why are crap stronger here let's check if there's a sprint button while the red kills us no worries you have enough health okay actually we need to get away from that hey no i got killed by a rat what the hell now i'm not pirate pirate face anymore now i'm ghosty ghosty ghost face okay i will suddenly spawn in a village that i haven't been before in fantasy games every other person is basically a blacksmith i mean it feels very alive if there are people everywhere and people walking around it's quite alive i like it but yeah i'm i'm you know i'm playing this like a game developer i'm

not really like ah let me grind through all of these collectors and more like let me see some of the game let me explore [Music] oh i can just do that with you oh i cannot just do that with you oh no they're chasing me now can i beat them up with a oh no a rat as well oh no now they're fighting the rat for me are you my friends again yeah apparently they are cool i got a fork and a bone thank you oh no clearly not ready to go into this region yeah i think i'm actually gonna move on we got a good idea check it out it's cool game i beat the crap out of these crabs i felt a little intimidated by the insane

amount of content i think it will be a great time with friends and great value for your money if you value play time smiley face yeah that seems honest enough there you go ah the music of this is already fantastic lens island by flow studio i don't want to quit the menu because the music is too good i'm really excited for this one uh because it looks great looks absolutely fantastic nice how do you control lan oh controller is not supported okay bye controller no i think that's fine honestly how that looks okay yeah there were some good artists working on this project i'm not sure if this is a solo project i didn't do my homework okay very intuitive control i can just walk around attack time each attack to trigger a critical

hit for more damage did i do it right okay feels satisfying i like it i mean you you managed to make the tree chopping more fun with the critical hit mechanic i appreciate that because usually chopping trees in games is kind of boring so good idea i like it oh that's it's so nice looking probably the nicest looking game we've played so far okay and here we can repair a bridge if we pay enough resources i'll just swim to the other side not a problem len can swim so we're going to swim lonely island no i mean and that's that's a scam that's a scam okay you want me to repair the bridge fine so these don't require storage that's cool and this seems like it's the crafting menu oh pirates island does pirate mig pirate face live here [Music] can i jump can you jump len

ah you can jump that's fantastic because i can clearly get up there i know it do i have enough wood to build a bridge or stairs nice what there's cost stone shut up i would like some stairs please still don't have what i need i'll just just build the floor then if i'm lucky i can jump that high bump nice i might i'll make my own music then it's pretty cool that you need to use the building mechanic to reach places here can i starve what is this oh hunger yeah okay i can starve well i should try to find some food then can i use this as food berries okay yeah we got some berries

wow look at the underwater plants here okay let's try to eat something first yeah len eat that did you teach me already how to eat that okay i mean my adventure took a weird turn did i drop my pickaxe or something do i only have four slots for storing items oh i think i have only four slots for storing items where did i put my pickaxe oh like there's no way that we didn't find any npcs or anything yet there's no way i feel like we got completely lost just out of curiosity let me start a new game create new name not stuck on an island my only goal is not to drop my pickaxe and not to get lost what is in this world except for resources i can chop i gonna be something i know exactly that there are dungeons and various cool stuff i just can't find any of it it's very interesting that the

game just lets you explore so freely if you're unlucky you'll just get completely lost oh heck yeah i wanna go in there probably not a smart move yeah nice i found that fairly quickly as well you can jump further when air rolling okay i'm still deciding if i find it good that i have no clear objective and can just freely explore it's very dark maybe i should have brought some lights did i go in a circle where am i now jonas wandering around in a cave simulator like i don't really know what my goal in this game is am i just supposed to explore okay i think i need to get out of this dungeon this is nobody on this island so it's really my island that's why it's called lens island

alright i don't have enough wood to make a bed i have enough wood why cannot make a bed i'm licking the other resource okay come on i can make a bed now i don't like darkness what you mean i can't place that here why can't i not build anything it's weird it's very dark can't see anything game doesn't really teach you how you get through the first night or anything and that's the problem what do i do now i can't see anything and i can't craft a bed just place the bed come on it's not that hard or at least tell me why i can't place it why can't i not place the bed okay i can't place the bed can i save save to menu okay cool i can save at least that's great negatives you are not allowed to place the bed following

the bridge teleports you onto a lonely island the fantastic music isn't always playing i miss it so much when it's gone so place the bed maybe that means there's some some tutorial missing or something i really didn't manage to place it it's unfair to make such a nice looking game it didn't tell me what to do where is my hand holding i feel lust without having a purpose where ever i went i felt like i wasn't supposed to be there yet okay equals this is seriously great

play it yeah that's that's the longest review so far nice i know there are more youtuber games okay those were just the released games i missed that i was really curious to try i know there are a lot more the game the youtube scene is growing at a rapid pace it's hard to keep up really game dev community on youtube shall never die i'm happy if i could help someone i came that youtubers out a little bit alrighty have a good one bye play with your snail
