[@kathleenlaine4455]

You know it’s gonna be a good game when Arin actually pays attention to the tutorial

[@Retro_Static]

Only to forget half the moves the next episode

[@happyhyperbole8597]

You say that, but he also completely ignored the reposition on the super jump literally immediately

[@cyd_hunter99]

​@@Retro_Static I mean, so did I though. Forgot I could hold a dash by turning when I fall until the very end of the game

[@cosmicyoutubeoof]

@@happyhyperbole8597 And the ability to grab at walls to run up them immediately, without needing to start mach on the ground

[@gabrielroncato6686]

The fact that they're mentioning The Noid while playing Pizza Tower before The Noise shows up is incredible

[@nerdsferatuskeep3902]

Right? Now I hope they play it that far, we need to see this revelation.

[@SiebayPlays]

Came here from their Pepsiman video and I’m glad to hear The Noid was mentioned.

[@nakenmil]

@@NeonStudios763 I mean, we can keep doing this: "it's underground comix of the 70s" which seems to be what Ren & Stimpy is inspired by.

[@Vrikrar]

There's a weird emotion felt when watching Arin read the super jump tutorial and seeing in real time him not retaining that you can move before jumping. Like a weird mix of frustration and satisfaction. Probably what being a parent feels like sometimes.

[@DarkYuan]

Tbh, I didn't see it either

[@xannmax]

It wasn't that bad, he was experimenting with the ability the first time.

[@colbyboucher6391]

It seems like *no one* notices that, somehow

[@arcaithsarchive211]

200% this.

[@ozan1234561]

Im also dissapointed in how conservative he is with the mach run

[@Zartexal]

9:04 I nearly dropped all my groceries hearing Danny say 'On account of all the 5 G'. Died laughing.

[@Gamersgoinblind]

I definitely feel like Arin would appreciate the style and Dan would be enthralled by the world itself since he can focus on things that Arin can't

[@PoisonFuri]

Average GG episode lol

​@@PhuqrWERE PROBABLY GONNA HAVE A FISH PRESIDENT

[@mauricemoldenhauer7266]

Oh please, don't let this be a one-off. This game is an absolute gem and only gets better moving forward. It's not even that long maybe like 10-12 episodes

[@IAmTheBugInsideYou]

10-12 episodes at 30+ minutes is pretty decently long lol

[@ALottaBees]

It's such a good and goofy game, and you don't need to finish or perfect all of the levels to get to the end. I hope they give it another go!

[@derekrequiem4359]

This won't be a one-off! It's a two-off instead. 😀

[@LonelyOcean]

The Grumps:"Who let THIS GUY cook?" The Lovelies:" *HOLD ON,LET HIM COOK!!!* "

[@Mateo_173]

☺️☺️

[@nineleafclover]

Isn't that the joke

[@2ndperky]

Its so sweet how Arin was flattered when Dan compared this animation style to his old animations, considering that the animator that did this game would also probably be flattered at being compared to one of the most talented and most popular animators on KZbin and Newgrounds.

[@Gnidel]

I miss his animations.

[@LilChuunosuke]

That's honestly just what being an artist is like. I'm an artist & I've even seen some of the most well-known artists on the internet get inspired by artists who *also* draw inspiration from *them.* We're so critical of our own work that artists can get in a loop of inspiring each other because we both draw different things out of the same styles & become envious of the other one's approach.

[@2ndperky]

​@@miguelnewmexico8641 he's up there tho

[@PingerSurprise]

Funny, considering PT's style is much closer to Zeurel's than Arin's.

[@dragonit6836]

​@@miguelnewmexico8641 he's still close to the awesomeness like them 😅

[@UhgeneIgnorian]

32:56 - 33:05 the way Arin unintentionally said "WHAT!" Both times he died had me rolling.

[@rotion3]

He says it the exact same way both times as well, which makes it even funnier

[@artofket]

It's literally the same

[@ChaosBeast829]

I was gonna comment the exact same thing, and the fact that it’s on the Stand By Technical Difficulties screen both times too.

[@pedrossecondaccount]

If only it had the same technical difficulty screen

[@Shadywolf09]

Something about 12:03 and the frantic insanity of the animation while Arin is saying ''scuse me-sorry' while laughing just really got me

[@averyoddguy4015]

You should definitely make this game a series. Its utterly batshit insane near the end in a good way.

[@vgexpert20001]

This game is actually inspired by the Wario Land series. From the zanny design, to the move sets, certain sound clips and especially the whole running back to the beginning of the stage before time runs out (specifically Wario Land 4)

[@ochuspin]

That’s exactly what I thought when I first saw it, even his color palette is like the original Wario Land’s color palette for Wario

[@vitaleriof]

and in many ways it even has surpassed it

[@megaman161]

Some other people have pointed out that the escape music uses the bells from Wario Land as well.

[@johngrim602]

Not only that but it is also completely hand drawn. Very well done

[@2ndperky]

No wonder this game is kinda unnerving to me. I had Wario Land 3 for the GBC as a kid and it freaked me tf out

[@pandachaoz]

0:56 "You'll find out when we play Pizza Tower" the timing is just 😚👌

[@PyroSirBrad]

Arin and Dan was 👌 close to the jump scare if they waited on the save file screen a bit longer when Peppino was just sitting in the dark.

[@johnepton313]

Watching Arin and Dan for the secrets is lethal for your health. Thank goodness they're awesome instead.

[@cejayidc]

What's the jumpscare?

[@thedoozydan]

​@@cejayidcIf you wait ~40 seconds in the main menu without turning on the lights, Peppino will rush forward with a jumpscare then close the game.

[@jajajasputin8927]

Tangled was an absolute childhood milestone

[@TheLovelyMudkip]

We appreciate seeing the titles and number in the series for videos so much, glad it's back!

[@abcdeeemily]

Yes 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@AlexaBosse]

absolutely!! ❤

[@darconious524]

This intro is like a 90s MS paint animation that a kid did and their older sibling or parent added a hardcore song to tell people that while it looks silly, it's actually badass lol

[@thunderstorminblack]

This game looks like something from early 90s Nick, back in like the Rocco and Ahh Real Monsters days. I could see this being a TV show back then for sure. I love the style. Excited to see more of it!

[@spurrit7156]

This game actually is supposed to be based off of early 90s cartoons, honestly i would even say its a *PLAYABLE* cartoon

[@sboinkthelegday3892]

It's perfect timing that Dan just came out as a big fan of Sam and Max, gives nice backdrop to what kind of history he comes into this game with, and this style of humor.

[@migiplayz91]

I can see that

[@astrowolvez]

@@spurrit7156 ah, I can definitely see that with the game play, at first I thought it was inspired by flash.

[@angeljesso]

[@DaveYognaut]

13:58 both times I watched/heard this part, my brain didn't register that Dan told a joke until he tapped the mic 🤣 pure gold save.

[@absolfusion3688]

I love how Arin completely misses the message that he can move around during the super jump. Classic Arin Hansen.

[@nickfarace9339]

To be fair he picked up on the majority of the moveset REAL quick. It is a ton of freaking moves to take in incredibly quickly. He even came super close to figuring out parrying on his own.

[@nickbastion]

I’d love more of this. Grumps in the Pizza Tower is great! Also Arin, the Mach Run scares (almost) any enemy, making them stop moving and able to do anything, and the Mach Run also just obliterates any enemy in your path. It’s damn near orgasmic to hit a big chain of enemies with the Mach Run.

@@MoonlitLycan ​ dude, they’re saying that THIS is the new hotness

[@CountMonsparkle]

From the way they were talking and treating this game, they most likely intended this to be a one-off. But by now they probably noticed that this game is very popular and makes a lot of views, so they will surely be back for more eventually ^^

[@Gota0014]

​@@CountMonsparkle it's only 63k views. I'd say that's to early to say it's exceedingly popular when their videos normally get 200-300k viewers

I love the Wario Land vibes this game gives off. Wonder if it was an inspiration for the developers.

[@cass_the_weirdo]

A few words of advice, you can only miss nine of the little dudes before you have to replay levels again so always be on the lookout for them, you have an up attack that you can use both on the ground and in the air that can be very helpful especially against flying enemies and for some collectibles, and also the janitor you picked up is for special treasure rooms only he can open, not only do these treasures give a ton of points but getting them all changes the ending so it’s a good idea to get them regardless of what you do.

[@TheIcecreamtaco]

this game has so much reminiscence of wario land 4 for the gameboy advance. That game should be on the agenda at some point. For some reason in my childhood, that was the only one I ever played and it was fantastic

[@maxspecs]

The other 3 Wario Lands are drastically different, the first one is a pure level clear platformer, the second one is about stage exploration, and the third one is closer to a level-based Metroidvania.

[@Coseepo]

Was thinking this as well - almost identical in parts, really took me back
