I'm actually happy for Woodle, he has managed to get a pretty decent game out of the first... thing. It's always nice to see a pretty alright game pop up every now and then in the most unexpected places. It kind of fills you with hope.
I was thinking that with all the shit he showed off, Woodle 2 being "Kinda like BotW" must have felt like experiencing Mario 64 for the first time again.
I worked as the lead programmer for Woodle 2 Adventures and I really appreciate the nice comments on the game! And no, I had no hand in the first game; the lead guy, Fabio, reached out to me after finding my Third Person Control kit for Unity and wanting to integrate it into the sequel, and I've been working with him since. The game did take a lot of inspiration from Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, and 3D World. I'm proud to have worked on it! For anyone looking to play it, it's available on Switch, PC, PS4 and Xbox One (the last 2 I had no hand in porting) with the PC version being the most up-to-date and well-performing. I also appreciate that I'm not the only person that thought the Fall Guys characters looked like Woodle; everyone I knew said that they clearly took inspiration from Woodle and I agree.
Woodle Tree 2 looks like a wholesome game I could actually see myself getting on sale Edit I actually bought it, and I hope this company gets more of a budget, and gets to keep their cute little tree stump, this is incredibly charming, not GOTY contender obviously, but really fun and cute, try it sometime
I didn’t mind Woodle Tree Adventure. It had a few problems, but what can you expect from a $3 3D platformer. It grew on me after playing it for a while. I’ve been curious about the sequel but haven’t checked it out yet. Thanks for the recommendation.
So fun fact about "Fight of Gods" I actually met the creators of this game at a competition. So I asked them how'd they come up with the idea of this game. And they just told me "why not"...pretty fking awesome XD
kinda epic? I mean, in the fighting game community, its not being shitted on as much as other games, so kudos for the creators for making it. They also made the Christian church mad at one point
Okay, so I have to say I was a little sad when Ant was talking about the first Woodle game because it seemed like someone's first game or something and he was just ripping it a new one, but then he gets to the second game and I was so happy to hear that it turned out good. So I decided to look it up to see if it actually is a project of love or just corporate shovelware, and as it turns out it is actually a labor of love from 4 people based out of Milan, Italy. Also, they have what may be the most adorable name for their game studio: Chubby Pixel. Their games don't look like they're the greatest, but they seem to be improving, and for such a small studio (again only 4 people) I've gotta say that the second Woodle game seems really impressive. If by some chance any of the people from that studio read this, I hope you continue making games and improving and someday you get a spotlight in a Nintendo Direct: Nindies showcase.
Yo i was thinking the exact same! I had a load of Gold Points left over on the eShop one day, so I decided to buy the first game, and I was actually kinda pleased, finished the game within like an hour and kinda forgot about it. Then like 2 years later, my little sister's birthday comes around, so I get her the two games, and the second onw for myself so i can actually play it with her. It's really good actually!
I am Italian, and I met the creators of the game in a convention. They where really nice and let me play woodle tree 2. When I went back home I downloaded it on my switch. Worth it.
That second game is such a pleasant surprise. By no means will it replace Nintendo's big hits, but this is still a solid 3D platformer for an absolute steal of a price.
Something that hurts more than not owning a Switch is looking at Vroom in the Night Sky and realizing how much potential it had. It could have been an open world magical girl delivering packages and exploring with friends. Like Kiki's Delivery Service or something.
I don't really see that. Seeing potential is more like seeing part of a good idea that isn't fully realized, not making something up to add in out of thin air.
I feel the dev behind Woodle tree adventures, they made something, stepped back, and saw they would have to work a little harder to make something worthwhile. Truly a success story. I’m probably gonna get the game to support the creator(s)
Yeah, contextualizing a sponsor with the video makes it feel less 'shoved in', and also less awkward. Unless you're Caddy, that man can get through a review without any context for anything, and I love it as well.
What the golf with Microsoft Sam. I liked WTG but I’m not sure if it’s a good game or not because I heard about it from DGR and the last game I learned from DGR (mom hid my game) ended up on a Vinesauce shitty games stream
AntDude is a Vocaloid fan, he's cooler now than he was before that knowledge was known Edit: Timestamp 4:08 thanks to tiffa elesis for bringing the lack of timestamp (and the time for the timestamp) to my attention!
@Proto*p Yo, just cuz Vocaloid is awesome doesn't mean UTAU isn't too. Teto is literally my favourite vocal synthesizer AND vocal synthesization character of them all! And the best!
I’ve actually bought Woodle Tree 2 Deluxe, he’s not lying when he says it’s good It’s like Kirby’s Epic Yarn to me, it’s not the best or most challenging platformer but half of your enjoyment comes from how adorable it is
About Croc's world: It's basically a clone of an iphone mario clone called Lep's world, which I used to play. It's a bland game, but I'll give it a pass for being on mobile
Something interesting I found, the Switch eshop is _really_ cheap for developers. Like, it’s completely free despite royalty deductions. Other consoles require tens of thousands of dollars to make a licensing deal, while the Switch is practically free, making it really accessible for the average budding developer.
was pretty excited to see woodle tree in the thumbnail, as I think its developer has genuinely made quite a lot of improvements from the first one. I mean yeah it's not the best game ever, it has problems, and you can tell the dev is still pretty new to this. But I feel like they actually do care for what they made and want to improve ^-^ which is all I can hope for and I kinda really wanna see where they're going in the future. It's easy to make fun of, but it has charme imo
When I play Woodle Tree 2 Deluxe, I play some Balan Wonderworld music and strangely it fits pretty well, not to mention it's a lot less uncanny valley than that game. I can certainly say I'd recommend it.
I am currently questioning whether or not the end of this video was a lucid dream I had, and I don't think I'll ever find the answer no matter how much time I spend *_That's how it is._*
To be honest, as bad and barebones as ‘Vroom In The Night Sky’ is, it’s honestly got a pretty sick logo. I could easily imagine it being used in a Witchcraft-themed Magical Girl anime/ manga series.
i remember getting astro bears party from the shop with some leftover gold points at a friends house one night, we played that game for hours it was super fun, especially with 4 people
This is one of the few times I’m legit interested in the sponsored product lol. Looks very comfy I am so disappointed that with Fight of Gods you never mentioned Fight of Animals. It’s..it’s truly beautiful.
Here’s some info about Croc’s World that I know of: The Xbox One version is free but you only get to play like one level before you HAVE to pay 2 dollars to progress. I found that like 2 years ago
Hey, you probably won't see this comment Anthony, but I went ahead and tried out the zengrips since I'd been looking for a product like that for a while. So far it's been a GODSEND. No more cramped fingies while playing my games! I wanted to thank you for the sponsorship. I don't usually buy sponsored items (because I'm always broke) but I took a chance with this one and it really paid off. Thank you, and I would definitely recommend the product to anyone else!
Honestly one racer that I wish returned instead of them adding Pink Gold Peach was Wiggler from MK7. Because I loved how he turned red when getting hit lmao
Because it's royalty free. Same reason the US version of Donkey Konga has crap royalty free songs along with a handful of Nintendo songs. They spent their entire licensing budget on anime songs for the JP version and old-school songs from the 70s and 80s for the UK version.
@@krimsonkatt it has some older pop songs in the US version too. Some of my faves were of my faves was "The loco-motion" "What I Like About You" and "Rock Lobster" Honestly despite having a few stinkers the US track list was pretty cool for the time.
15:13 I thought Woodle Tree Adventures and Woodle Tree 2 are pretty good games sure both games had flaws but both are cute and creative games would recommend if you wanna have a fun and short adventure time. The art style and characters for both games really do look like characters you see in Adventure Time in my opinion.
I don't think I've ever seen Diddy Kong in ANY Mario Kart game...except maybe the DS one? Or MK7? Isn't it because Diddy has his own racing series, called "Diddy Kong Racing"? Which had guests like Banjo-Kazooie, Gruntilda, King K. Rool,( a pig wizard?), maybe could've used some Star Fox characters? Or Crash Bandicoot or Spyro characters, definitely, and also I think they had Conker the Squirrel, from the critically acclimated N64 classic, Conker's Bad Fur Day, which has never gotten the sequel it deserved...but it did get a disappointing remake called "Conker: Live & Reloaded" on the Xbox 360 back in 2005. It made the charm of the original lost on everyone who played that version. And thus, poor Conker hasn't seen the light of day since then...
After seeing Caddy do this on the ps4 store, I'm genuinely afraid to see what Antdude will find here. Something tells I'll need therapy just seeing them
Kinda? Not really? The Mario skin I’m pretty is temporary for the anniversary celebration, I assume it’ll go away at the end of March like everything else.
Ah yes' "Nicky". A game that had the audacity to put my name on it. They turned me into a golf ball. And to add insult to injury this game is literally just a worse version of getting over it but with that text to spech voice that's mostly used on meme and/or MLG compilations as the narrator for some freaking reason. I bought the game out of curiosity that day. What a horrible mistake that was. Also yes I agree I should be in Smash.
There's actually this golfing game that I think is supposed to be a parody of Getting Over It that plays EXACTLY like Nicky. I forgot what it was called but I think Nicky's ripping off that.
I honestly appreciate that the sponsorship was related to why I’m watching the video instead of a VPN or Raycon earbuds that have nothing to do with any games console on the planet.
Wow, I went in this to laugh at some absolute garbage (which I did) but ended up mostly coming away impressed by Woodle Tree's glow-up from 1 to 2. Kudos to the folks at ChubbyPixel for polishing up the sequel and hope they continue to improve.
How dare you mock the best game ever made. There is no kart racer in existence that can match the several levels of perfection that is Garfield kart furious racing. /s (just to be safe)
I recommend two games that once went for $1 and $2 respectively, Agent A and Way of the Passive Fist! It’s nice to see simple, cheap games that have proper polish and quality control!
Agent A I have played all the way through and as a puzzle game lover my thoughts are meh, the puzzles feel really convoluted at one point and just make it a lot less fun, albeit for 1 dollar yeah it’s a good buy
@@futureddude4250 What are your favorite puzzle games in that semi-point-and-clicky style? My mom played Agent A together and she loved it, so I'd like to find similar games for her.
Glad you at least pointed out one or two decent games here, I like it when that happens as it does show we can't expect everything to be trash after all. Geez that last one tho.... Just reminds me that Inklings(and Octolings) have standards.
Just reading Jesus’s description had me dying from laughter. I’m dead serious when I say that I may unironically buy and play Fight of Gods just so I can laugh hysterically as I play it.
