Hello, want to hear something depressing?

No, why would I want to hear?

Mobile games make more money than all other forms of gaming combined.

And surely with all this money, mobile games are the pinnacle of hard work and artistic integrity.

I'm sure if someone was to remake them, it would take a very long time.

Oh, would you look at that?

I guess I'm wrong.

So here's the plan.

I've picked out three mobile games, and we're going to see how close I can get to remaking them in one hour.

All right, let's get into it.

The first game we're going to be making today is Last War.

Last War is this fucker.

You've probably seen it around, and you want to hear a fun fact?

Yeah!

At the moment, Last War is the highest grossing strategy mobile game in the world, constantly earning upwards of $140 million every month!

Yeah, that fact wasn't very fun, but I wonder what Homelander thinks of this.

Hey, it's Anthony Sarr here.

This game I'm playing is called Last War Survival, and it's awesome.

Okay, so yeah, the vibe is you've got dudes running at you on the left, and upgrades on the right, and you've got to shoot them, and you get it.

It's not complicated.

Okay, let's start the timer.

Okay, we're on.

Let's go.

Okay, first we're gonna need to slap down a square.

That'll be like a road.

And next we need some men.

All right, yeah, these guys fit the vibe, I think.

I think these guys are good.

Sort of Clash of Clans, cartoony sort of vibe.

All right, let's go.

And we're gonna need some enemies as well.

So I found this guy and he'll do, I guess.

In the actual game, they're zombies.

But who cares?

It's a mobile game.

Nothing fucking matters.

We're also gonna need some shooting animation.

So I found this, which I think looks good.

Checking both the model and the animation in Unity gives us this.

Oh, wow.

That looks fucking stupid.

That looks so bad.

With that done, I added a gun to his hands or, you know, close enough to his hands.

Oh yeah, that's perfect.

Apart from some small details, like his finger being nowhere near the trigger, him sniffing the gun, his foot's definitely broken, and he's holding the gun with the back of his left hand.

You know what?

It looks good from the back, so we ship it.

So the way you control the game is moving the guys left and right.

So let's just like quickly whip up some code to do that.

Nice.

Okay, nice.

Okay, now let's get them shooting.

I have this bullet effect from a previous project, which I thought would look nice here.

So I just need to write a script that moves it in a straight line, like a bullet.

And with that, the bullet should be done.

Stupid fucking game.

Stupid video.

Stupid career.

What are we doing?

Now we just got to spawn the bullet from the gun.

And we got a game coming along.

It's happening.

Oh, yeah.

Here we go.

Boom.

Okay.

Let's juice the fire rate.

Yeah.

Oh, wait.

Shit.

The frames.

The frame.

My poor computer.

What's going on?

Oh, wait.

I'm not despawning any of the bullets ever.

Oh, well, we don't have time to fix that.

Moving on.

With that, it's time to add some enemies.

And so we got this little cutie here.

And let's get him running.

And so I found this, which is like a pretty good running with sword animation.

So let me yoink that.

Yeah, that's going to have to do because we don't have time.

All right, let's give him a sword.

He needs a sword.

Yeah, that's definitely way too big.

Oh, hold on.

Yeah, there we go.

That's better.

I think he's technically going to be holding the blade with his hand.

That's okay.

That happens, right?

I'm not a big sword guy, but I'm sure that's a valid strategy.

Yeah, I mean, it looks good if you're not using your eyes.

And we can actually reuse the script that we used to move the bullet to move this guy.

So let's just slap that on and we should be Gucci.

100

Okay, yeah, that's a bit more reasonable.

101

That's better.

102

Now we just need to have the bullets do damage to the enemies.

103

And yeah, we got a game.

104

Next, we need to add these gates that when you shoot them, the number goes up.

105

And then when you hit that number, that's the number of players that add to your number of players.

106

Does that make sense?

107

And some cheeky 3D modeling later, we got the gate.

108

Yes, looking good.

109

The number's going up.

110

The number's going up.

111

Changes to blue.

112

Let's go.

113

Okay, it doesn't do anything, but it's still nice.

114

A little bit of programming.

115

Come on, come on, please.

116

Please.

117

Yes, that worked.

118

That worked.

119

All right, moving on.

120

Go, go, go.

121

Next, we need barrels, which when you kill them, give certain upgrades.

122

Some of them is just more dudes, and some of them is like upgrades for your fire rate.

123

Okay, so this, when we kill it, should increase our fire rate.

124

Come on.

125

Is that?

126

Yeah, that's better.

127

That's faster.

128

All right, nice, nice, nice.

129

I made the different variations of barrels.

130

So yeah, this one increases fire rate and this one adds another dude.

131

And I made them gold because I thought that was pretty.

132

And I added one final variation of barrel which just increases the attack rate even further.

133

And finally, we need like a big dude at the end to kill.

134

I don't have time for that.

135

So I'm just going to scale this guy up and give him more health.

136

Okay, so this is what we've done so far.

137

We've got our guys.

138

We've got, they can shoot.

139

We've got enemies.

140

We've got gates.

141

We've got barrels and a final boss.

142

So all we have to do now is just put that all together into a level and then we're done.

143

all right time time time we did it we did it oh so the rules are and yes i made them up myself so i guess it doesn't really matter but the rules are i'm allowed to add sound effects and music and nothing else i haven't touched the functionality at all i've just added music and sound effects just because that adds a bit more of a vibe yeah let's see what i made let's let's check out the monstrosity.

144

Alright, we're right into it.

145

Um, what do I- what do I do?

146

What do I do?

147

I guess we shoot this thing, get some more guys.

148

No, oh, I only got one more guy.

149

That's all right, that's all right.

150

I don't think I'm doing very good.

151

Nope, can't get that barrel.

152

That's okay.

153

No, no.

154

I'm the guy in the ad.

155

I'm the guy in the ad.

156

There's also no death condition.

157

Like, the enemies don't do any damage to you.

158

Uh, so I guess you can't lose.

159

But this doesn't feel like a win.

160

All right, let's run it back.

161

All right, let's go straight for this.

162

I think that's the strat Anthony style would never have figured this out Oh there it is Yeah the boys Alright crushing This is feeling way better Alright let's get this thing Oh It's all covered together It's all covered together And then let's just absolutely Pop the shit out of this Yeah yeah yeah Yes That's so loud It's so loud I added so many guys Why Why Oh, it hurts.

163

Can I get that?

164

Ah, it's so loud.

165

It's so loud.

166

Oh, God.

167

All right, get the big guy.

168

Get the big guy.

169

Yay.

170

All right, and that's it for Last War.

171

This is the side-by-side comparison.

172

How did you think I did?

173

I'm looking forward to getting my $140 million check.

174

So just hopefully that comes through the mail anytime now.

175

Obviously, there's more like special effects and stuff going on on Last War version, but I think I got the core of the functionality down, which is kind of nuts.

176

Hey, do you also want a bajillion dollars when you make your very own shitty mobile game?

177

We're gonna need to learn how to code.

178

Boo!

179

What?

180

That sounds boring.

181

Yeah, it is.

182

Or I should say, it was.

183

Whoa!

184

Can you stop interrupting?

185

I'm trying to do a thing.

186

Sorry.

187

It was boring before I found today's sponsor, boot.dev.

188

Oh, it's one of- They've got courses in Python, SQL, Go, AWS, and tons more.

189

But what makes them special is they use this little thing called gamification to make the process fun and addictive.

190

The same stuff that these mobile games use to make people spend thousands of dollars on them, boot.dev uses instead to help you stay motivated to learn to code.

191

I'm talking experience points, levels, achievements, quests, and even boss fights.

192

And on top of all that, the courses are cool as well.

193

This one teaches you how to make the game asteroids from scratch.

194

This one teaches you how to make a Pokedex in TypeScript.

195

And this one teaches you how to generate and then solve mazes in Python.

196

All very fun by themselves, but with the magic of gamification.

197

It's an unstoppable combination.

198

So if you want to support this channel and learn to code the fun way, scan this bad boy here or go to boot.dev and you can use code code bullet to get 25% off the entire first year on the annual plan thank you boot.dev for the sponsor all right back to the video so um yeah this is this is the second this is butt clash um you gotta eat the burgers to grow your ass um but if you eat the green healthy stuff your ass shrinks and that that is bad i don't i don't know what to say about this one it sort of speaks for itself as does all good art and then you enter like a twerk battle with this other uh fine lady and the winner is who has the largest ass um i can't uh that was and that is butt clash ladies and gentlemen this game has over 10 million downloads just on Android.

199

I hope God is dead so he doesn't have to see this.

200

Okay, ready?

201

And let's go.

202

Okay, let's get started.

203

First, we're gonna need a dumpy to work with.

204

Fuck, sorry.

205

It's beautiful.

206

Okay, we got a man, but there is a problem.

207

When I'm looking at him, not enough neurons are firing.

208

Look at all this prime real estate that isn't being taken up by an insanely saturated color.

209

Of course, we're gonna have to fix this.

210

Oh my god.

211

Why is there so many teeth?

212

Am I?

213

Oh yeah, that's the stuff.

214

Just grab the whole image and just fucking juice it.

215

Yeah, boy.

216

Okay, ready?

217

Bam.

218

Look at that.

219

Yes.

220

All right, so here's my plan.

221

Unfortunately, can't increase the size of his ass directly.

222

That's because Unity is a coward.

223

That's not the real reason.

224

I just can't be bothered explaining it.

225

But what I can do is I can take everything that isn't his ass and scale that down, then scale everything back up.

226

You see my vision?

227

All right, everything's looking normal.

228

and then if we increase scale yes yes there's our guy there's our guy all right so that's great but there are some things that need some work uh mainly the torso needs to move forward while the guy um inflates i hate using that word but that is what's happening oh wait it should be doing it Oh my gosh!

229

Oh yeah.

230

Oh yeah.

231

Oh yeah.

232

God damn it.

233

God damn it.

234

That is Aura.

235

Alright, now that the ass growth situation is sorted, we're gonna need to grab some animations.

236

There we go.

237

There we go.

238

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

239

Oh yeah.

240

It's looking good.

241

Yeah.

242

And then he goes, nom, nom, nom.

243

Yeah, yeah.

244

Perfect.

245

Next I got him moving, so it sort of follows the mouse.

246

Alright, now it's time to add the food.

247

We got donuts.

248

And we got healthy bell peppers.

249

Boo!

250

Boo!

251

Don't eat that.

252

Alright, now when we run into a donut, we should...

253

Okay.

254

into a dog you do what all right now when we run into it ah now when we brought you i really thought that one was it and now when we run into oh yes yes he got a dummy let's go oh yeah oh yeah this is this is why i lie about what i do to my relatives and i got the bell peppers working as well it's Big butt.

255

Small butt.

256

Perfect.

257

Perfect.

258

Munch.

259

Munch.

260

Fuck.

261

Munch.

262

Munch.

263

Munch.

264

That's hard.

265

Now we're going to do the end twerk battle.

266

So we're going to need a boxing ring, I think, should do.

267

Yeah, that looks good.

268

Alright, let's grab this one.

269

Okay, yes.

270

It's all coming together.

271

Okay, we've got to move.

272

We've got to move.

273

We've got so much shit to do.

274

Okay, so now we need to teleport the player to the stage and at the end, get him twerking.

275

Yeah, very sexy.

276

Very sexy.

277

Okay, and everyone knows you can't twerk alone, so let's just grab a competitor here.

278

Yep, that's it.

279

I quickly made him pink just to make him a little different.

280

And while we're doing colors, let's change the road to...

281

Yeah, let's go yellow.

282

And I made the sky like this disgusting pink.

283

Very good, very saturated.

284

We love this.

285

Okay, we got three minutes left.

286

Things are looking good, but I wanted to add a little crowd to just give it a bit more atmosphere.

287

And there we go.

288

Time, time, time.

289

That's it.

290

That's an hour.

291

Oh, okay.

292

All right.

293

Let's let's play the game.

294

Let's see what we got Oh, that's Sound effects are so obnoxious.

295

I'm not sure if this is actually possible.

296

Like I'm not sure if I put in enough doughnuts This is just Audibly the worst thing ever.

297

It's also really hard.

298

All right, let's do this battle Like there's no way I could ever get that I lost.

299

No.

300

Time to lock in.

301

Let's fucking do this.

302

Going for perfect score.

303

Oh, he's insane.

304

He's insane.

305

Oh, wait.

306

We ate a bell pepper.

307

Damn it.

308

Damn it.

309

This is so hard.

310

Oh, just...

311

Actually, insane maneuvers.

312

All right.

313

I think that was like as good as I could do.

314

And I'm still nowhere near beating this guy.

315

I just noticed the guys in the background.

316

A, T-posing.

317

and be, I don't know why their dummies are huge.

318

That was not intended.

319

All right, and here's the side-by-side for butt clash.

320

What do you think?

321

How did I do?

322

I think they spent a lot more time on their butt inflation tech.

323

That looks a lot better, but I think I got the vibe of it.

324

And here's the side-by-side for the twerk battle.

325

I think we're actually using the same twerk animation, which is funny, but apart from some fancy camera moves and some, I think, farting special effects, it's pretty much the same.

326

All right, that's it.

327

Let's go to game time.

328

So our final game is Eating Simulator, which according to reviews is so good because it was so funny and I liked the physics when I liked it went to my head.

329

Thank you game for this game.

330

And seven people were like, yes.

331

Okay, so what actually is Eating Simulator?

332

Clearly must be a masterpiece.

333

It is a masterpiece.

334

It's amazing.

335

10 out of 10.

336

And we got an ad.

337

I mean, after that amazing gameplay, you deserve it.

338

You also got this level where you're dragging a fish all the way through a duck.

339

That's fun.

340

Oh my god.

341

What the fuck?

342

All right, let's make the game.

343

We're done.

344

Okay, so first up, we're going to need like a picture that we can make squishy and become the food.

345

Boom.

346

That's our guy.

347

there he is all right yoink all right so the fish is in but at the moment it's very stiff not squishy at all not very fun so you ready for a little lesson on soft body physics computers and physics engines can't really do soft objects they really like to work with rigid bodies and if we bring a random 2d object into the scene and run it it's completely solid no squish no nothing rigid but are you ready for a magic trick watch this what happens if we take four circles and connect them all via springs look at that even though each of the circles are still completely solid, the whole object looks soft and squishy.

348

Now, if we just add these circles and springs to this random image we chose, then it should appear to be- Oh, fuck off!

349

I'm trying to look smart!

350

No!

351

Then it should appear to be soft and squishy.

352

There we go.

353

And if we had a second one, they'll enter- Oh my god.

354

Oh my god.

355

Alright, whatever.

356

Back to the challenge.

357

Let's go.

358

But you know what soft bodies are now.

359

Okay, so back to our fish.

360

Like before, we gotta set up our buoy to be soft.

361

It's a more complex shape, so it's gonna require a lot more circles and spring connections, but it's the same principle.

362

And now we just gotta connect up the springs, which is super annoying and tedious.

363

So, let's speed through that.

364

All right, let's send it.

365

Hmm.

366

Okay.

367

Interesting.

368

Interesting.

369

All right, let's go.

370

Wow, that's not better.

371

That is...

372

Wow, he's a big boy.

373

All right.

374

Oh, squishy fish.

375

Let's go, squishy fish.

376

Okay, let's try it and more boys.

377

Oh, wow.

378

Okay.

379

That kind of worked.

380

Wow, let's go.

381

Okay, now that we got the lads nice and soft, we need a way of interacting with them.

382

In the actual game, you click and drag, and this little pink line appears.

383

Don't worry about what you're looking at.

384

Just focus on the pink line.

385

Just set this up first.

386

We're going to need an object that follows the mouse.

387

So let's do a bit of coding.

388

Okay, we got this little circle following the mouse.

389

Now, if we connect a fish to a spring, it looks great.

390

Yeah, yeah.

391

Perfect.

392

Now we just need to add the little pink line and we pretty much got the gate.

393

That's pretty much done.

394

Oh.

395

Oh, okay.

396

Okay, but we are going to need something to swallow the fish.

397

baby with mouth open oh no no no it can't be a real baby that would be a crime i think let's go cartoon that's better that is better oh we could go boss baby with it i'm gonna yeah i'm gonna take that i'm gonna yoak that me sorry i'm just gonna open up that mouth this is making me very uncomfortable i don't i should have done the bird why am i doing a baby just bring that in and don't worry this is deeply unsettling and uh definitely a low point in my life okay let's just add a collider to the boss baby and oh hello what's happened what's happened let me go okay that's better his forehead doesn't absorb the fish anymore that's good oh there we go yummy i added a little table made it table colored and i added a little plate i'm doing anything to procrastinate having to look at that baby i added a little sky and finally we need a wind condition and just if two whole fish are in this area then we win yeah all right we're done with 15 minutes left that has never happened before so i guess we'll make another level for the next level i briefly considered owen wilson but then i decided on a giraffe because it's got like a long neck or something i don't know now we just gotta do some quick and slightly disturbing photoshop magic and we got our guy next we need something to swallow so i just used this selfie that i took now let's just quickly bring everything into unity and do the soft buddy stuff and that's it time time time all right all right all right let's play this bitch and just grab a fish there we go um i'm not sure if i understand the appeal of this like who is this for oh let's go he's crazy all right just get it around the low intestine there you go beautiful beautiful next level i've not play tested this at all so i don't know i don't know if it works oh my god oh my god i hate that i see there might be oh no he's wearing like he's got like a dude tie on now you're right buddy you okay everything everything all right all right let's try this again let's go a little slower oh my god this is just awful to look Oh, God.

398

Hated that.

399

Hated that.

400

And yay.

401

We did it.

402

I do not feel like a winner.

403

Let's go red for seconds.

404

All right, let's go as fast as we can.

405

Ready?

406

Go.

407

Oh, God.

408

Oh, no.

409

He's become Elon Musk.

410

No, no.

411

A fate worse than death.

412

All right, finally, here's the side-by-side for eating simulator.

413

Obviously, I went for, like, a little more realistic art style.

414

which I don't know why I did that, but I did that.

415

But apart from that, honestly, I don't think there's much difference in these games.

416

This one was nuts.

417

All right, that's it.

418

That's the video.

419

I hope you liked it.

420

This is my like second attempt at this concept.

421

I did one like a year ago and there are plenty more shitty mobile games.

422

So if you want me to keep making these, let me know.

423

They're obviously very easy to pump out and I like making them.

424

It's nice to have like a quick video concept that I can do in between bigger projects.

425

The last video took me literally two years to make.

426

It was on and off, obviously, but yeah, that was a bigger project versus this is a nice quick one.

427

Anyway, congrats FredSumper23 for the win.

428

I'll be in touch.

429

You won some free match.

430

Congratulations.

431

All right.

432

See you guys.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns.
