My favorite one of "Those Games" is the number tower thing. Because i don't understand why anyone would be motivated to play them even if they were real. It's literally "which number is bigger?". That's not a game.

I’ll be honest, I literally bought Slay the Spire for that exact reason, and at the time, I wasn’t even a regular NL watcher. That has since changed, but it is kinda ridiculous how he does it.
@@treyhova1183 I'm playing FF16 with a friend after NL forced me to fall in love with it. I am not dodging NEARLY as well as he is, to my immense shame.
i’m confident i have typed this exact comment around when this video came out, but a year or so later and i’m still amazed that his impulse is to “drive” the cars rather than just send them in the direction they have to go. there’s one or two other games i noticed this quirk of his in
This is honestly a great satirical game, it's just a shame that I think a lot of people are just going to refund it, so it's not going to do well for the company. A 40 minute video here covers a solid third, ambitiously, of what the game has to offer. you've got 120 minutes on steam before you lose the ability to refund. While I agree that the control scheme is a bit whack in places, I think I'll get the game to support the devs- I enjoyed Re-roll, and they've kept their humor about them. That deserves rewarding.
I agree. Honestly I'd keep the game as a joke game for guests or something, say a buddy comes over and we could play it for a few laughs, and for only 10 bucks? (USD) yea I'd pay 10 bucks for a gag to use every so often
idk if its the type of game that will see tons of updates in the future but i'd love to see them keep on adding games from ads. they still have a ton more they could do and i think it would alleviate some of the boredom from how bad some of the games are lmao
1:54 Just once, I wanna see an ad where the X100 gate is the wrong move, and you're supposed to take the +2 because there's like an unavoidable X-1 gate afterwards or something.
24:35 No. No. Chat was right. Just searched "tower of hanoi baby toy" and was shown a few results that are basically this, rated for ages 2+. They're just matching on shapes rather than colours.
its even worse than that. the tower of hanoi is a legitimately somewhat complex toy to solve. toddlers can do it, but still they use it as an example in programming classes to introduce recursion; its not trivial. the color lab game is literally solvable by the simplest greedy algorithm imaginable: find a tube with only 1 color, pour a tube with that color on top into it. repeat these exact steps until you win lol
1300 miles isnt insane, but you could say fair play for the dedication. average walking speed for his age is 2.8mph, work that out with just the hour and a half every day it would only take just over 10 months. perspective, you up that by simply half an hour to 2 every day it would only take just shy of 8 months. good work NL
NL and commenters seem to be concluding that the game concepts are just fundamentally unfun, but I actually think the execution is just not good. Certainly pin pull and the car one have potential. Just the game has too many easy, boring levels, and looks sluggish and bad to control
Yes I agree. I like the concept but the execution is lacking, and I think they could definitely lean more into the comedy of it. I haven't seen these types of ads recently, but I've seen some really absurd ones in the past. Several where a man is dropped off on some empty island, wood materialises out of nowhere followed by a woman. Also the zombie ones... I've seen one where the zombies just fart on you. My point is there really are some ridiculous ones out there that are unintentionally funny because of how absurd they are. You could play into that and also improve the controls to make them more intuitive and less clunky. Also: I agree that a Warioware style would work great for these. Personally I find it too overwhelming but mobile game ads are entertaining for a very limited time before they become repetitive.
My toddler saw me watching this video and has been asking to see the game with the little black man ever since, he loves it. Definitely a game for toddlers.
You just made a bunch of mobile game developers very happy I assume they just copy and paste the clip straight from this video with a “raid: shadowlegends” voiceover or whatever
it's NL talking about the choices between the gain 2 or gain 100 and the character making the less lucrative decision. Reminds me that other people go through the same feelings lol
I believe it's the lady from the first level he completed, the one with the smallest house. Obviously very upset at the fact that her partner is now rich and has 6 girlfriends, or something.
The tower game where you have to defeat the rooms is such a dumb idea like even when I saw the fake ads for it I'm like... "so you literally just pick the number lower than yours and you win?" It's honestly amazing that people saw those ads and really wanted to play a game where it's like "I have 100 power... do I try to fight the monster with 200 power or the monster with 80 power... hmmm"
The iteration of "number towers" in this game does spice things up with rooms that subtract or divide your power later on. You're forced to 'clear' all rooms in a tower before moving onto the next, so it does present neat little math problems about what calculations to do first to keep the number big enough for the 'boss fight'.
i hope they update the game with even more of those ads in the future, currently seems a steep price for the amount of content. very funny concept though
why r people on his ass for playing some pokémon go while on walks with a sleeping baby??? like how long can u just walk aimlessly with only your thoughts keeping u company before u go insane
NL saying "This is not possible" is so simple yet absolutely still one of the best bits
It can't be done! ... nevermind I'm a genius
There’s a reason why these games are in ads: because they’re only engaging for 30 seconds. Also holy shit it’s the guy from the ads
I'd play a whole bunch of levels of pin pull if they had interesting solutions. I feel like the model just doesn't allow for much micro transactions and that's why they hadn't done it yet

All mobile games are like that now. "Which number is bigger?" or "Match the colors!" or the most difficult, "Match two numbers!"
the later levels become genuinely (slightly) tricky puzzles, as cells in the towers begin to do things other than just add to your number.
