I have some good news for you, Full Speed Racing IS actually on Steam Called "Drift Stage", however its not Outrun. its actually a full racing game that the dev reused to make Full Speed Racing...and has a tragic backstory, I'd recommend looking into that. I actually like Full Speed Racing and I go back to from time to time, cuz I think it might help the dev with Drift Stage in some way, hopefully

[@dado__]

I just went to try out Full Speed Racing and the music they're using it in pales to the original stuff what was written for the game. I recommend everyone check out Drift Stage Volume 1 by Myrone because it's so good it introduced me to the game rather than the other way around.

[@swr.nezumi]

care to elaborate a bit on the tragic backstory?

[@crtchicanery9605]

I had the same thought that it looks a hell of a lot like Drift Stage. It's just a ripoff though, not from the same devs at all. They said as much in Drift Stage's discussion page on Steam. For the uninitiated: Drift Stage is a retro throwback racer with a Kickstarter campaign that launched with a strong wave of support in 2015 and then quickly went silent with no explanation. I wasn't a backer then, but I was looking forward to the game and was disappointed by its disappearance. Upon looking to see if there's any connection, I'm shocked to discover that Drift Stage *finally* released in 2023. Mixed reviews, looks like a lot of people are still rightfully bitter about the Kickstarter. I might have to give it a try.

[@JrIcify]

Full Speed Racing is such a ripoff of Drift Stage that it's hilarious. If anyone enjoys that and wants to play a much better version, find the original demo of Drift Stage. The release version messed a lot of stuff up.

[@Andrewmanaguchi]

I was a kickstarter backer for that game. I even have a vinyl in the shape of the car. Sucks that it went through some turmoil. I've given up hope that it will ever make it is a full game. Full Speed is actually a rip off and illegally using the assets from Drift Stage. You can check the Steam forums for the devs comments on that. So if you do like the game I would try and support the original makers of those assets.

15:57 That's actually a board game called ludo (hence why the playable is called ludo karts), and as soon as I saw that game, I immediately recognized it as a (way more generic looking) board game that I used to play as a kid. Everything you described, except the cards,is in the original board game, even the need to roll a six to get out. Oh, and believe me, it's way more fun with friends, because you get to sabotage each others progress. Playing the game with a bunch of bots on the other hand... now that's depressing.

​@@ego-lay_atman-bay I guess you are right. Still, I feel like almost all idle games are the same. You get a guy that does stuff, he gets money, you get a guy that does more stuff, and it goes on and on. Just like clicker games. Honestly, I really have a personal vendetta against these games because of a game serious called "Zombie highway", which had 3 games. Unfortunately, the creators of the game decided to completely abandon them for an idle game called "Egg, Inc" that got more attention despite the fact that it was unoriginal and way worse than the zombie highway games that were very creative. Fortunately, The first game and Drivers ed work perfectly fine. Unfortunately, the 2nd game has a daily missions system that works only when you are online despite the fact that you could literally just recycle some missions that you've already made, and the game has a progression system where you get new items and stuff by doing tasks, and 2 of them can be present at times. There are 2 tasks including the daily missions system. You can only get everything in the game if you grind out the game until you get enough gold.

I remember one day I was in voice call with a few other folks when we discovered KZbin Playables. We browsed around a bit but ultimately got completely fixated on Draw Climbers. It's the same handful of levels on repeat, against *totally real opponents*, but it was really fun jumping down the rabbit hole of everything wrong with it and winning with the most ridiculous shapes. It turns out the physics is actually VERY different when in slow motion including gravity seemingly not working at all? One of the strats to win was just flinging the opponent off the map using bullettime. Stayed up past 3am watching that. Good if you want something to melt your brain out of your skull!

[@enbybunny9940]

The goal of the playables is the same goal as shorts, to try and slowly make it so KZbin has a monopoly on every thing you could ever want out of a phone. Give it a couple years and if they feel the playables are popular enough, you’ll suddenly start seeing ads all over it.

[@davispo7550]

Hilariously, it seems that "Fullspeed Racing" was removed from the KZbin Playables list.

That's so insane. I like that KZbin Playables exist, if for no other reason than it allows me to play some of those stupid "mobile adfarm games" without needing to stop what I'm doing every 30 seconds, as it allows me some decent "browser games" to play while I'm at work, since KZbin is generally able to dodge most "business website blockers".

Something to note about these games is that they are prominent on mobile over desktop. They are the 6-7th thing i scroll through, after 2 recommended playlists, 1-2 videos, 2 shorts. I'm a working 20s adult who got into the habit of using my phone for internet during the pandemic, and I can't escape the nostalgia of seeing cut the rope recommended. It's a marvel of coding years after the death of flash, and KZbin is definitely trying to market these to kids to the older and younger demographics more likely to use mobile than desktop.

Google is extremely familiar with the EEE and ensh***ification business model. They're one of its all time masters. They're not gonna put annoying ads there when nobody uses it - they're gonna make it seem like it's free fun with no strings attached, develop and nurture a games ecosystem forced to use their ads API, and as soon as it's big enough to sustain itself on its own network effect (like, for example, KZbin) they're gonna implement ads, take a big cut from every game's ad revenue and happily sit on top of a pipeline of free money. I'm sure they've been kicking themselves for not implementing the same model for Android, the way Apple did with their App Store. Having control of a centralised point in an app ecosystem that enables you to just take a cut from others' earnings is big tech's golden goose.

If anything, the problem with Merge Heroes is that it isn’t slow enough. There’s no prep time between waves, so you’re constantly upgrading things on the fly while enemies march through your defenses largely unimpeded.

[@benedictDover]

Exactly. It doesn't help that said upgrades are too expensive, too infrequent, and not nearly impactful enough - merging a hero to the next level only increases its damage output by single digit numbers. Meanwhile, enemy health inflates by hundreds, sometimes thousands of points every wave. The only way to realistically win some waves is to try and slow the enemies down enough for the fireball powerup's cooldown to reset, damaging them enough for you to tickle them to death.

[@scythicle6057]

holy shit i talked to this guy somewhat often like 3 years ago and now he's in my recommended?? with a very well made video?? crazy

[@chusru8580]

what's funny is I would enjoy more than half of these, because I've played more than half of these on play store, especially paint by number, I love those games

[@Sanichotdog887]

Angry Birds showdown is actually a KZbin playables port of angry birds for Facebook messenger, the Facebook messenger Version has actual multiplayer unlike the KZbin playables version

[@doehg9000]

8:52 draw climber could actually be asynchronous multiplayer. you aren't directly interacting with your opponent, so it might just take your "solution" to the track and replay it for other people under your name. maybe not on desktop. or mobile. who knows if youtube playables even support any kind of multiplayer... Also always love out-of-nowhere references using 3ms of music. 22:15 came out of nowhere and double ricoshotted my respiratory system and my hopes for the ladder at 29:07 were thoroughly joshed. 10/10

[@-starrysunrise-2908]

I like the youtube playables version of color match bc the mobile version has the objects TALKING with text-to-speech, and they alternate between taunting you and giving _unprompted_ tips. I don't need tips in a game like that! Especially if I didn't ask for them!! There's also a weird currency system where you auction off the things you painted so you can buy more things to paint?? And the ads suck but I have one of those adblock vpns that's probably giving me a virus 😎

[@Banana_Satan]

16:08 this is actually a fairly common czech board game, but it looks very different and doesn't have the special cards (the name is člověče nezlob se)

[@Ollicom13]

Fun fact about the cats at 22:52 ! The black cat from the Academy game is named Momo, and the Calico is named Lucky! Lucky is actually from a google doodle called Champion island! Also, seeing as I see their cute little interaction as romantic… THESE KITTIES ARE GAY!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@genericname2747]

I'm glad to see the cats again

[@mcleslieplayz4921]

OH MY GOD WOWWWIEIIEIEEEE!!!!!

[@moonielivee4836]

The best gay cats

[@proton..]

lesbian cats 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@LemonbreadSC]

or they're friends. But either way it's one of the nicer things google brought into this world :D

[@AwesomeDwarves]

I got to play playables early on mobile and I immediately left the feedback: "Why can't I watch videos *while* playing the game?"

[@HammMann]

5:59 *_HOLY SHIT HE DID THE BONGCLOUD OPENING_*

[@ScrawnyTreeDemon]

Great video, with an excellent taste in music to boot :} 👌 Round and Round (the tune that played during The Playable Awards) is one of my new favourite tracks now. So fun and groovy!

[@tarblade1448]

Seeing magic cat academy made me happy, then I was immediately depressed learning it wasn't an hd port. I know people who would actually die for that cat, this is not hyperbole.

[@nickshutteretc]

4:10 Strongly appreciate the Sega GT 2002 track you put in here. One of my favorite pieces of VGM!

[@ohnothepineappleohno1524]

was wondering about these things when your video popped up:) really interesting topic and i really enjoyed the commentary!

[@idklol309]

I have been seeing this around randomly, thanks for making a video analyzing them.

[@oy_oy_]

A lot of these I recognise as mobile games. I think they're all games without ads.

[@crocus8080]

With color pixel art, on desktop, you can click and hold still for a bit to activate the pencil. I happen to like gruntwork lol

[@RollingLine]

THEY REMOVED FULL SPEED RACING

[@BicheTordue]

nice to see youtube return to their roots but nothing is gonna beat playing snake in the player while watching a video

[@MadmanEpic]

I was going to include loading screen snake as a joke 80th game but then I found out it was removed and was overwhelmed with grief

[@KKHell]

Welp, this is going to be in the Google Graveyard in about a year or two.

[@BlujiBerries]

so I randomly decided to play “find out” a few weeks ago. I got done with all the levels, then discovered they have a weird afk tycoon mode…? you can collect artifacts from each level, and then those generate income in your museum. anyways, it glitched after a few hours and gave me an infinite amount of money. I “completed” everything in a few minutes. clearly a high quality game!

[@BigDrummy]

they just removed fullspeed racing, the one good game they had going for them 💀💀

[@crimsonDestroyer]

The on-screen text for Element Blocks is the name of the next game, Emoji Puzzle.

[@felicityc]

re: pretend players. there's a game called cyber hunters which is a moba cross-platform mobile/steam (which is kind of hilarious but the high elo meta isn't aim based so it almost doesn't matter later on when I started to get matched against the tryhards. funny when people were spectating me sniping though and I could tag people at max draw distance), it literally spawns in bots behind you or near you, sometimes literally popping into thin air, to give you the impression there is actually stuff going on. in a match with supposedly dozens of players usually maybe 4 or 5 are real players, so the only part of the game that feels real is near the end when the circle is really tight. it was just so funny... charlie played it and thought he was a god or whatever but it's just all bots. it's an interesting way to make you feel like you're good. the best part was that they weren't obviously bot names... they may have even been stolen from other players. just by the names alone and the randomized country flags, it would be hard to tell who was/wasn't real.

[@4ndr00med4]

i dont know about these games but for me this video had a "great" on the vibe o meter for its entire runtime

[@RedShedG]

That 1.6k views jumpscared me, i expected wayyyy more

[@Ducky_WCUE_1]

Browser games have been a life saver for me. I lost my Prevage to has any games other then this one (I kinda hate it now :[) and Ik what you might be thinking, “why don’t you just get games in secret and delete them before your parents find out?” It’s weird if they look at my battery usage or screen time and see 70% of it is on a deleted app. With KZbin (which I can only use for crochet videos) I have a reason to be on it :) use some, or we’ll, a lot, are bad but some are good enough for me

[@n3rd_th1ng]

tbh that one block game goes crazy

[@knightedsensei]

It would have been easy just to make a tierlist and call it a day, but you went the extra mile and did some investigative journalism as well, great video

[@roguegamer1173]

Why is my favourite division youtuber branching out into variety content?

[@MadmanEpic]

I will not be bound

[@End3r_071]

smh my head my head i think that halo forge guy is cooler

[@Foxy02016]

I was surprised originally, but I started paying the drawing wheels game (I used to play it already), as well as find the alien, and it’s just really fun to play these without ads and being on KZbin just makes it feel weird and quirky

[@charliemayfilms1550]

I get you bro

Crazy this video popped in my recommended. Solid stuff.

[@pinnochiosVices]

they removed fullspeed racing :(

[@michaelbyrnes7019]

I did the exact same thing back in february with the intention of making my own video, but I couldn't come up with much to say about each game. I'm glad someone else made a video about them. Ludokarts was the worst one for me as well.

[@redcoat6698]

Having played plenty of ludo carts, or Sorry! as it’s proper English name is, I will say that it is significantly better when playing in person, usually with my grandparents for me. Each turn is normally around 5 seconds between roll and move, so it keeps up a super fast pace. Think more like 6 minute rounds instead of like 30.

[@gregariosity]

Ludo, Sorry!, Trouble/Frustration, and Parcheesi are all trademarked versions of the ancient Indian game Pachisi. Ludo was the original English-language version, and Parcheesi was the first American version. Sorry! is probably the most different bc of the cards with special effects

[@randynewman8074]

I’ve never watched one of your videos before, really enjoying this one up to the point you explained how you ranked the games by “vibes”

[@augustleded]

me and my dad have youtube premium and found out youtube had games. i never saw the option pop up often so i never really used it, but my dad used it every couple days and i remember him liking it. i don't think games on youtube necessarily fit with the service itself, but it's not inherently bad as much as it is misguided

[@Dergy]

Thanks for calling it a Bejeweled clone and not a Candy Crush clone 🙏

[@Gizzor]

speaking of idle games, go play trimps, you will either get sucked in or absolutely confounded that people play it

[@Pokemanic33]

I know Gamesnacks from a game portal built into Google Play Games, I play a couple of the titles from time to time when I'm wasting time on the couch. My guess as to why they're on KZbin and also to why they're so underdeveloped is that they're developed by Google so it's easy to just toss them on whatever infrastructure they have laying around.

[@BlackXixo]

I don't have that section. My discrimination lawsuit will be handed shortly, team youtube.

[@water..8320]

that vibe-rator idea was pretty good ,i hear a lot about those

[@Obzumbo_sauce]

15:59 fun fact: this is inspired by the Dutch (I don’t actually know if it originated from the Netherlands but it’s the only language I could find it in) board game: mens erger je niet (crude translation incoming; dude don’t take it seriously) and it is meant to be as annoying as possible by being so tedious. It also is so annoying when your lil guy gets taken to the start again.

[@wasserkatze7822]

germany also has it under "mensch ärger dich nicht", a staple of board games to play with your grandma when you're 5

[@Obzumbo_sauce]

@@wasserkatze7822 exactly, I didn’t know it was also known in Germany. Thanks :]

[@kubula5312]

Also known in Poland. Here it is called "chińczyk" which literally means "chinese"

[@scarletpathcat]

They should make a section of these games just for preserving a number of Google Doodles and make it something that feels official. People love to go back to certain nostalgic doodles that had decent gameplay, so it'd drive a lot more people to playables tbh
