YouTube Started Making Video Games. I Ranked Them All. 

What’s so underrated is these games aren’t flooded with ads every 5 seconds

The magic cat game is good because it's a Google Doodle thingy, they're always pretty good. OH! SPEAKING OF! You should tierlist all Google doodle games

“How I ACCIDENTALLY became the #1 RU-vid games player!”

rare instance of ludwig not saying 'BOYS' at the start of the video

1:30 already thinking of backstabbing youtube 😭

honestly i’d support a longer, standalone version of Magic Cat Academy on kickstarter or something it had a legitimately solid core concept that i think could be expanded into something really fun

Imagine RU-vid will start removing dislikes even on their games now

Fun fact: you just lost the game

Seeing lud play magic cats academy makes me want to see him play all google doodle games. (pangolin love is great it better be S tier)

It feels like the person who created magic cat academy was the one who came up wtih the idea of implementing games on RU-vid, and every single other person didn't fuck with the idea but HAD to submit something before the deadline

I’m sorry?!?! Cut the Rope in B?! IN B?! That game was a classic as a kid

"I ranked games based on how well i did in them"

“c’mon get in me, GET IN ME!!!!!” damn okay Lud

thats... not a hoodie

7:54 damn we gonna have a field day making edits outta this 😂

Imagine you work hard getting a computer science degree. You learn how to code in hopes of making it big one day. You finally get hired by RU-vid, you’re proud of yourself; it’s one of the biggest tech companies in Silicon Valley after all. Then they ask you to create these fucking games - god I feel for whoever had to implement these games.

It is fascinating to me that RU-vid thinks taking other established mobile games and effectively making cheap ripoffs for their own website is not only a good idea, but also that it’s not in violation of any intellectual property laws? Pretty baffling decision.

dang this is the earliest ive been to a ludwig video

this is so surreal to see. youtube, unless these are high-quality first party games on par with Google Doodles - outsourcing these to Voodoo is not the play and will make brand perception tank through the floor

Props to RU-vid they made the games we all see in adds made it actually free with no adds or marcheting.

that cat game was actually a google doodle. I played it all the time.

15:45 The witch can be seen for a fraction of a second and I wonder what he did

5:20 bro said "nope" to my childhood

They should add the Tokyo Olympics doodle game, that was SO cool

Ludwig: "They're recording my gameplay for children to watch" Also Ludwig *literally* 10 seconds later: 15:17

30seconds in and literally all the games i see have had ads that say "this game isnt fake because i played it" while obviously having someone follow a script.. the ads have always left a scammy feeling in me even though they are completely free

These the type of games they would make us play in computer lab in elementary school

I like how he put Chess in F Tier when the knight took his Queen.

15:06 made me laugh my ass off

My screentime is about to skyrocket

magic cat academy is actually a google game,google did make banner games and they are still availible on the internet,some of them are pretty good

not that i want this, but for this to succeed it needs to be integrated so that you can play while your video is playing. Split the screen or something. If it was integrated so i can play my wordle or some shit while watching my 4 hour youtube documentaries, id prob end up using it. But these kinds of ideas are always half assed by companies.

Netflix executed their games very well and they’re mostly really good games. RU-vid tried to recreate it too quickly with terrible games and it shows. Also not being able to download them isn’t a good thing I can’t watch RU-vid Picture in Picture while playing the games on the RU-vid app which is mildly annoying.

I actually don't mind these games. It's good for kids to be able to play these without the ad every 45 seconds like from the app store, not to mention the lack of in game purchases.

"Come on get in me!" - Ludwig Ahgren

15:35 the best Game S++

14:27 immaculate choice, we love to see it.

7:54 Lud... it's always weird when you edit in your Discord calls with Aiden

love watching your videos man, you frl get me through my day

The best part of these games is that there no ads at all

Bro Ludo is a Pakistani board game staple. The rules are go around the board with all 4 of your pieces before the others, but anybody that lands on the same space as another (while not on safe space) sends the piece back to start, and a piece only leaves the start if you roll a 6. There’s more, but that’s the gist.

maximizing brainrot wit this one

I love how invested he was in that slime battle royale game like that's so relatable 😭

ludwig has addicted me from March madness. I need a daily ludwig stream now

Watching Ludwig play these games is like watching the AIs play during an ad. It makes me wanna play as I'm better. 😂

i would love a fully fleshed out version of magic cat academy omg

Just discovered their existence today. It's a novel concept. Best part is no ads.

Honestly, I've had the Experimental features enabled for so long, I completely forgot they were Experimental lmao

Lud should play all the google doodle games, since they are so good.

Imo they should add the Olympics game that they have on google with the pixel cat

youtube went from a dating app to a conjunction of games

i think youtube has some potential with this if they opened it up to independent creators, even if they still moderated the games that get published. normally i'm against these big companies taking over more platforms, but a game platform that's directly connected to youtube has some cool possibilities with integration. imagine videos of gameplay not only linking to the actual game that you can play on the site, maybe even in a sidebar, but also allowing creators to set challenges and share high scores and such. imagine watching lud livestreaming playing a game and being able to send him a verified legit clip within the chat of you demolishing his score.

how many times did Ludwig say hoodie when referring to a crewneck sweatshirt challenge

funny how the games on youtube are just the fake mobile ads BUT actually playable without the ads bombarding every 5 secs... yes i play them regularly

Hey Lud, big ups on your resilience as a CC. nuff said. keep keepin'

I love that "Stop!" at 0:47 :D :D Can't get enough of it

6:28 Why is a weird version of Good Morning Morioh-cho from Jojo Part 4 playing?

Ludwig needs a dictionary to see what ALL means 😂

Magic Cat Academy being the only good one because it's literally a google doodle and the team who make those games care is such a weird contrast. I'm sure these were made with some kind of bad intent behind these games but it really does just show that people will play a simple game if it's actually made by people who care

1:05 Ayeeee, my hometown was mentioned. Never thought that would happen.

Ludwig tries to not yoink and twist challenge: impossible

that magic cat game is so cute, i love the art style. it has some crazy potential, although the whole kid oriented drawing thing kinda makes it a nothing burger to play. but the concept of a magic cat academy with that cute artstyle would hit.

First time i've heared a man saying: 'GET IN MEEEEEEEE' lol 8:20

14:42 wow you're right, so smart

As a resident of Spamtown itself, thanks polite for the shoutout🙌🏻

As a Minnesotan I'm so disgusted with Lugwig saying SPAM came from South Dakota. HOW DARE

Magic cat academy was an old google banner game and it was always so fire

Lud is going to go crazy if he keeps doing these

@1:00 does anyone notice it’s not a damn hoodie

"I Ranked Them All." *quits 40 games in*

Its amazing that everyone see the fake ads, goes I would love that game, devs go sweet, I got you. And then make something so far off what the ad was you can only assume they didn't watch it

Bro i loved the games they needa bring them back

Lud is the guy to promote scam hoodie like its common occurence for him

Bro the scam sweater is a crewneck, not a hoodie 😤

I love how the S tier games are literally a Google doodle game from 2016 and an Agar io ripoff. They're actually just giving us mobile game slop

Monomi Park might want to come take a look at that slime game. Honestly didn't think much of it until there was a closeup shot of one of the crystals. Those are 100% just plorts. It's not a typical diamond shape, plorts specifically have the offset/jagged middle section. The slimes are fine because any colorful round blob with a face is gonna have some resemblance to Slime Rancher, but to also just directly rip plorts and hope that the recolor is enough for people to not notice is some Pal World type shit fr.

14:21 undertake?!?

i feel like RU-vid is actually gonna do the shorts thing with gameplay at the bottom, BUT they'll make it possible for u to PLAY the game while watching a vid

Netflix has started to do this a long time ago and they’re actually starting to do a good job. The only really good things are mobile versions of popular games, like Hades and Dead Cells, but still.

13:42 for anyone wondering, the original game is called magic touch

next Ludwig vid, "how I became the #1 youtube video gamer"

I feel like all I learned is that Ludwig is a bad gamer

13:46 oh it's like divineko, I love that game!

I wouldn't mind if they just put expanded versions of all the Google doodle games on here that were fleshed out into complete games

I hope this is an april fools joke

Ludwig time

13:40 thats a google doodle game that i played in school cuz im like 70% sure its impossible for the district to block google doodle games

I actually really like this because there’s no ads and the games actually aren’t bad. Good job RU-vid

Magic cat academy was cute but the core concept was pretty much ripped from Magic touch on mobile, if you want more of that type of gameplay I suggest ya'll go check it out!

Pog

Honestly, even though I don't really get the point of having games on streaming platforms like Netflix or RU-vid, you do have to admit that some of them are pretty good despite 90% of them looking like a bad mobile game. Like, the cat spell casting one looks like an *actual* flash game you would see in Cool Math Games or Armor Games or something, which I feel like RU-vid should shoot for instead of "Here's a situation with something missing, scribble a line where the object is missing, and you win! Don't you feel happy? HAVE FUN, THAT'S AN ORDER!"

I loved Cut the Rope as a kid. Never thought I’d see it again on RU-vid.

Doing 1 pushups for every like this comment gets!!

17:09 bro snapped back to reality

The intro song is Baguette Bop - Louie Zong for anyone who's wondering :)

Ludwig be dissing youtube’s games like youtube isn’t the one paying him

elemental blocks is actually really relaxing to me for some reason

LUDO DESERVES S TIER

Damn make a part two this was actually so fkn funny

High chance Lud is actually the guy playing the games in the ads
