i personally liked the secret levels because i saw them more as "the developer was just fooling around with the tools he had" than "actual secret levels" and that made me enjoy them way more because they're just goofy as hell
Yeah for sure, I mostly enjoyed the ones I showed but most of the others I found a little annoying. I still havent completed the "He Lurks" floor and its the only thing stopping me from 100%-ing it.
@@CreemSmile I'm not to familiar with the secret levels, so I apologize if I'm wrong but if He Lurks is the checkerboard, maze-like level then (while still valid) the level is a reference to another work from zeekerss called "It Steals". A neat little reference but as stated earlier any frustrations with it are still valid. (and apologies again if I don't know what I'm talking about, I just wanted to mention that after I saw the checkered maze and smiled bigly)
I've heard about and seen Tomato gaming play this game. But I didn't connect that this was the same dev of Lethal Company until I saw the art style and the robot model being reused. He really is an indie game genius. He's made some bangers
@@CreemSmile The he lurks floor is a reference? or teaser? towards his other Horrifying game its just scary, but its good ~ It steals, I do recommend trying
the art style usually helps too. When i first saw Lethal Company i thought it looked very "Zeekers" like, and it turned out to be that way. The art style is probably common throughout games, but like this art style still feels like Zeeker's style, you feel me? I'm happy this developer has been getting more recognition now thanks to Lethal Company, and even happier that it's getting other people to check their other works too! My first introduction was It Steals, also a very neat lil horror game they made.
Between all his games, I think Zeekerss has a very distinct visual style and his gameplay also has a certain feel to it, kinda like all half life or doom mods have
@@joaopedro-fk3mc It's so bizarre to watch someone who you think is vaguely small time suddenly explode. I remember watching Markiplier play Amnesia before his new channel and seeing him sudden become one of the darlings of the internet. It's a cool feeling.
When I first saw people playing Lethal Company, I hadn't heard of it beforehand, and in about 5 minutes I was like 'Oh, huh, why does this remind me of The Upturned?' and then I saw it was a Zeekerss game, which just makes me impressed that the Vibe was so recognizable even my meatbrick brain picked up on it.
The comment at 5:54 about Ik's mouth being shaped like a heart monitor kinda blew my mind, cause I never noticed that despite having played it months ago. Really goes to show the attention to detail and thought that he tends to put into his works.
Zeekerss is a game dev prodigy, he has a good track record of developing games and im happy for him that lethal company is making people notice his other works.
I had played It Steals after some youtubers mucked around it but I'm a lil baby so couldn't finish the claustrophobic halls. I then went to see if Zeekerss has made anything and was thoroughly surprised by The Upturned. It has a very unique art style and the setting itself has loads of room for creativity on the creators part. It's a fun platformer but a really tense thriller that kept me on edge every time those elevator doors opened. The music was funky and silly, the designs of the characters are cute yet off-putting at the same time, and Ik. Oh my goodness, this game would not even be close to as good if IK was not by your side. He's a goofy guy who just wants to help you make it back to your home safe and he's so erratic and unpredictable that he makes the best company. Give this game a shot it's not that expensive and it'll easily give you a good 6 or 7 hours of fun. It deserves more recognition.
@@CreemSmile I think the ending was meant to be interpreted in a more biblical sense, the people in the upturned are the last souls in existence after the earth's destruction and I think the rider at the end is supposed to represent Death (since he arrives in a white/pale horse) or an angel who came to gather the lost souls residing there and bring them to the next stage or put them to rest.
the upturned was the game that got me into the zeekerss community and i was absolutely addicted to it my friends hated me because i couldnt shut up about how good it is im glad lethal company has let it shine more since it was a very hidden gem before
When i first saw Lethal Company, i had seen Pastra's video of The Upturned, so i knew i recogniced the person who made Lethal company pretty easily. Interesting artstyle/design.
I haven't played the game, but I think Bonus Levels are great EXACTLY for that type of content: strange ideas that aren't fleshed out to put into the main game. As someone that wants to make his own game at some point, this can extremely valuable, as these types of level has soooo muuuuch value. And even as a regular gamer, it should be fun enough just to see, what else COULD be done here. There is no shortage of examples, where some kind of sidecontent or mini-gamemode became the fans' favorite over time. Granted, that only really applies to the type of content that is COMPLETELY optional, preferably unlockable.
Man hearing the Omega Strikers music at the Bloopers section of the video has me :( I wish they didn't have to pull the plug. So much talent and care went into crafting just about everything for Omega Strikers and i'm so sad to see it lose support. Amazing video by the way!
I absolutely adored this game when it came out and for some reason it took me a super long time to realize that Lethal Company came from the same dev, which actually made me quite happy because it means the developer of one of my favorite games of 2022 was finally getting more of the attention that they deserve
It genuinely makes me so happy to see some people actually talking about the upturned! I discovered it in 2022 and it quickly became one of my favourite games of all time, getting me into more of zeekerss' stuff. It really is an underrated gem that i think shouldn't go unnoticed since it is really good. Awesome video too! Keep up the good work!
I loved the upturned and then one of my friends showed me a lethal company clip and told me to get the game and once I opened up lethal company for the first time I saw the fact that Zeekerss had made another masterpiece
Fun fact: That same dev used to make roblox horror games, and one of my favorite horror games when I was younger called "Light Bulb", which is sadly broken now :(
im soo happy ppl r starting to find about the upturned now ! ! !! i got into the upturned way before lethal company ( bcoz . it came out first ) and wz happy to see lethal was made by the same person :3 the upturned deserves sooo much love
lethal just drew attention to a really silly decent indie developer he didnt do the classic gofundme promises or take a big fall he just got lucky and made something like his other works and that got popular enough to shed light on his work hope he does more projects for now and not just scale up
Its crazy that zeekerss blew up so much, i remember when i was younger i kept playing his roblox games "silent dark" and "light bulb" over and over again.
I had played The Upturned before Lethal Company came out and I'm so proud of Zeekers for having a game in the spotlight now. Can't wait to see any updates or new games from Zeekers.
As someone who has been playing Zeekerss games for a while, I am SO happy that the success of Lethal Company is introducing his other games to new people.
I’m so happy that Lethal Company is bringing more attention to The Upturned. It’s still one of my favorite horror games because of how well it meshes terror and humor
i thoroughly enjoyed this video. the editing, commentary and just everything about it was awesome, great job man! made me want to check out the game! this dev and you definitely have a new fan here :)
1 month later you may not see this one but if you ever feel like doin' sharing about game with grappling hook and even more. Then i'll be very happy. Keep it up !
I really like this dudes games, with one of my favorites being "it steals"! the moment I saw it, the game completely stole my heart (get it lmao) with the charming art style and the unique, almost pac-man aspect of collecting orbs in a dark maze with a goofy looking monster! if you're gonna make any more videos on this persons games, DEFINITELY check out it steals.
"the large majority of them are either frustrating to complete,", *shows a callback level to It Steals, one of Zeekers' most terrifying games, and probably one of the most terrifying games period*
My personal canon is that this game and lethal company share the same world since you can find toy robots (definitely not a reference to this game or reused asset for lethal company) at 4:53 on the conveyer belt plus it would explain why there is so many horrible creatures and why they take up the same shapes or anatomy as some of the monsters in lethal company like bunker spiders or coil heads also what if these are the homes people have to live in lethal company some take up jobs as scavengers for the company and others that are fortunate enough to have a comfortable equity live in these hotel rooms/hotels
and maybe those mass destruction events with the meteors and big boi destroyed the world, which turned all the planets and moons into desolate wastelands like in lethal company and that's what led to the events of that game
The Upturned is more of a middle child to the game It steals where it decided to focus on the main path of scariness but there are still some chaotic and tense things but it mainly focuses on frightening the player more than making it chaotic while the up turned did more chaotic things but much more tense and horrific as you have to escape from one room to another

one thing i realized is how you can just tell its a Zeekerss game by how silly and unique it can be

Zeekers is one of the best devs, he made It Steals, The Upturned and Lethal Company. I love it.
i got so shocked when i saw that zeekers made lethal company like i remember playing this dude's games in roblox like light bulb and other stuff lol
@@joaopedro-fk3mc It's so bizarre to watch someone who you think is vaguely small time suddenly explode. I remember watching Markiplier play Amnesia before his new channel and seeing him sudden become one of the darlings of the internet. It's a cool feeling.
zeekers in a whole is just a pretty good influential dev
bro i remember silent dark and light bulb, absolute classics@@joaopedro-fk3mc
He also made Light bulb on roblox!
It Steals had its moment of fame, and Lethat Company is still beloved, but The Upturned was completely ignored, glad to hear someone talking about it.
He’s perfected the horror genre to being a balance between humor and genuine horror

Zeekers has a ton more amazing games
His success was well deserved
What i love about Zeekerss is he manages to always make a game that's funny ash but can turn absolutely horrifying in just a second.
that frustrating-to-complete bonus level is a very direct reference to one of zeekerss older games called "it steals"
What a coincidence that the best game like Lethal Company is made by the same person that made Lethal Company.

This game is a single-player comedic, horror game with a combination of hilarious and intense.
Can I get a mobile version?

I was today years old when I discovered that the genius that made It Steals and The Upturned was the same creator of Lethal Company!!!
I actually played both It steals and Upturned before Lethal Company and it is great to see all the similiarities between these games, and easter eggs.
bro the sam at the end surprised me, not often you see a fellow guy named sam

He’s such a silly guy, you have no idea how happy I am to see him on a thumbnail.
I was absolutely bewildered to find out that zeekerss made it steals but then realized it makes so much sense
YES!!!
LET EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THE UPTURNED IT'S SO GOOD
you should also play "it steals", it's genuinely like the scariest game I've ever played and it's also made by zeekerss lol
The Upturned and IT STEALS are both amazing games from Zeekers I love em both so much
man I was not expecting to open a video to hearing OS music playing lmaoo

Seeing this makes me think you have like 5,000 hours on TF2. Like the edits and sound effects all scream TF2 to me
See you'd be wrong because I actually have 6000, close though!
i love these "check out this neat game you probably haven't heard of" style videos
I was an Upturned fan long before Lethal Company existed, so I'm glad it's bringing more attention to this absolute gem.
That thumper opened the door rushed through it scary
"this bosses Will plunge out at you!"
"PIZZA!-"

*shows a callback level to It Steals, one of Zeekers' most terrifying games, and probably one of the most terrifying games period*
Thank god somebody is talking about the Upturned, there's nothing I hate more than just how little attention it got. Good show lad.
Zeekerss in general is GREAT! I have only played Lethal Company but I'm planning on getting The Upturned AND It Steals so I am a very happy camper
My personal canon is that this game and lethal company share the same world since you can find toy robots (definitely not a reference to this game or reused asset for lethal company) at 4:53 on the conveyer belt plus it would explain why there is so many horrible creatures and why they take up the same shapes or anatomy as some of the monsters in lethal company like bunker spiders or coil heads also what if these are the homes people have to live in lethal company some take up jobs as scavengers for the company and others that are fortunate enough to have a comfortable equity live in these hotel rooms/hotels
and maybe those mass destruction events with the meteors and big boi destroyed the world, which turned all the planets and moons into desolate wastelands like in lethal company and that's what led to the events of that game
The Upturned is more of a middle child to the game It steals where it decided to focus on the main path of scariness but there are still some chaotic and tense things but it mainly focuses on frightening the player more than making it chaotic while the up turned did more chaotic things but much more tense and horrific as you have to escape from one room to another
Finally somebody acknowledges this game! It's a surprise that people don't talk about it a lot.
