So I saw a fake mobile game ad and wanted to try it... And turned it into a real game!

Fake gameplay ads are bad...

    I Created Fat Dino on April 1st, 2019. It's been 3 years. Now that's what I called a one long joke. Thank you guys <3
  • @DCGMatthew1
    I've been looking at all these fake mobile phone game ads and been wanting to see a video of someone downloading them all and comparing them to their ads. This is even better. Perfect timing Dino.
  • Game looks good! It's just a shame that only 1% of people can solve the IMPOSSIBLE questions in the game.
  • @lashwrithe01
    3 things I think you should add/change. 1. Make your characters a little faster. 2. Lose a portion of your characters based on how high the number of enemies is. 3. Make "Download" popups appear that freeze your inputs until you click on "Cancel". I know you created this over a year ago, but <3
  • I was just wishing that we could have an actual game like this specific ad, then I found your video tonight. Thanks for making this!
  • @xenulus5282
    My favorite part about these fake games is when the player in the ad "trips up" and seemingly can't decide between something like x4 and -20, so opts for the -20.

    Dino: Tries to play game Game: Doesn't exist Dino: "Fine. I'll do it myself"
  • @itsmesharkie
    I've been looking for this specific kind of content thank you so much!
  • Man love your work its awesome and the commentary took it to the next level
  • @plukerpluck
    Make the game speed up over time, and even the "easy" mode would probably get pretty challenging without adding much complexity to the game.
  • @DevinB779
    I have so much respect for this video, people need to capitalize on these ideas way more!
  • @ruthmoreton6975
    That was a really interesting video into simple game development process. It was also interesting to know that THAT game did not previously exist. I have seen it so much.
  • @PerfectPencil
    I like how the ad was essentially a "left vs right" combat game, and your version legit became a math game that kids could learn from. And it happened accidentally, at that.
  • "The enemies is kida dumb Let's make it smart" The enemies: started running and T-bag on the units
  • @dBanzy
    im still weirded out about how they manage to sell a great game that happens to be easy to develop and entertaining. and then SURPRISE the game is nothing like it
  • @baraahamdy4274
    following u I have been following you since the beginning and the truth is that you are very creative and you deserve this resounding success, keep it up my friend.
  • @Jessie_Helms
    The ad shows an amazing game. The fact it’s absolutely nothing like it ought to be illegal.
  • @Hlebuw3k
    I think in that fake game you were supposed to lose units on every fight, aka (number of units) - (number of zombies) so it has a kind of survival feel
  • @basedury
    I really thought there would be a ton of youtube videos on this but the search results are so bare.... awesome video!
  • @Imaproshaman7
    This is really cool! I love seeing behind the scenes on these.
