Ive spent alot of time wondering why this game gets away with being one large ironic meme and other games dont as much, and I feel like Ive figured it out. This will sound crazy, but really think about it: the answer is restraint. It rides the line really well and thats how it elevates itself above its less memorable peers.

Just take the Mario segment for example. It is just an asset rip and naked reference to another popular preexisting game - and yet almost no one remembers it as that or feels that way about it. Clearly there was a transformative execution there.

I have no clue why but I guess you can play a fuckton of shitty mobile games with no ads in your browser now through YouTube??? Maybe these are supposed to have ads, this feels like a game that only exists to serve you ads, but my adblocker seems to have caught them anyways. So brave of Google to step up their game and give you keys jingling in an environment even more interactive than YouTube Shorts.

At level 20 the sky changes from blue to orange, and then at 40 it just alternates back. I locked into this for 30 minutes for a third color, God damn it
