I like how klei just went "we're a mobile game company now" from 2012 to 2014. Thankfully, Don't Starve managed to escape that philosophy, so it's interesting to think of what could have happened to Eets if it did too.

[@Or-ang-E]

Yeah the simple single purchase ds ports to mobile and others is nice too

[@asgth6147]

Weird phrasing there, Don't Starve was in the middle of 2012-2014 being released in 2013 while Eets Munchies was 2014 and Mark of the Ninja (which isn't even on mobile) was 2012, hell Shank 2 was released in 2012 and wasn't on mobile. All Klei mobile games are Don't Starve (ironically enough), Eets Munchies, Invisible, Inc from 2015, and Hot Lava in 2019.

This game kinda feels like a sandbox puzzle game where every playthrough is different in a way which is a strength not other puzzle games have. The game even encourages to be creative with trophies you unlock by using less items in a level.

[@lurok9463]

I find that so many games today just follow the principle of holding the carrot in front of the player's nose and having him run after it stupidly the whole game. It's become really rare that you have to think for yourself and explore the game or do your own experiments to study the functions of an item. By the way, I think it's very commendable that you go to so much trouble to bring attention to a game like Eets.

I love this video! You have a pretty great sense of humour, and this very much shows it works no matter what the game is that you are talking about, so you could make more videos on games besides Don't Starve too and they'd be great too :D

[@IDoNotFeelCreative]

No but like it's the little things. The deadpan delivery while visual gags go in the back. For (a random) example - around 1:19 where he mentions the founder of Klei with the intonation which implies amazement and awe but accompanied with an image of a google search which shows he didn't (in the gag, or not, but that's not important) actually know who founded Klei making a humorous contradiction (tone implying excitement, visual information implying there was no reason for it). It's just... the little things Oh and the wording in the search "Who made Klei" is just a cherry on top I don't think I've often seen such great use of the youtube format in joke delivery. IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS. Brilliant. p.s. I am a bit sleep deprived, so that's why I'm writing all of this right now, but I thought of it in passing many times before while watching Orange's videos

[@Phelsarus_Beel]

Man, I remember playing the original Eets way back in 8th grade and how much fun I had doing so. Besides beating every level I would just mess around in the level creator for hours doing silly stuff or just levels with no true cohesion or just ones that had neat chain reactions going on. And I also agree on Eets Munchies feeling like an inferior version to the original. Something about its level and puzzle design just never felt as fun as the original. It's still a fine game but while playing it I constantly kept thinking how much I rather play the original and its more interesting puzzles. Who knows maybe one day Klei gives the guy another chance but for the foreseeable future I doubt it. Maybe as a lil pet project ones Rotwood is done or so who knows.

I bought eets munchies as a joke and when playing it the whole time I was thinking "man the version meatgood is playing looks so much more fun lets go find that"
