0:41Failboat assembles NoteBlock, Muffin_Snakes and Jeremyciege for a four-day game jam.
1:51The theme "COUNTDOWN" sends the team toward Cata-Bomb, a pinball boss-battler.
6:33The final day brings a browser-export problem: explosion sprites appear as black boxes.
13:43The submission scramble reaches its outcome here, after another broken explosion sequence turns up.
20:00Guest creators begin playing, with Failboat and his collaborators watching their reactions.
48:08Failboat's parents join the playtesting on laptops.

The explosions turn into black boxes just when Failboat needs them to work. His team has a game-jam deadline approaching, and the browser version of Cata-Bomb has developed a distinctly unhelpful visual problem.

That scramble sits at the heart of "How I Made a Game That Pissed Everyone Off," the busiest current draw on a channel that posted nothing new this week. Now at roughly 1.7 million views, the creative documentary follows Daniel and his collaborators through four days of building a pinball boss-battler around the theme "COUNTDOWN."

The division of labor gives the project its personality. NoteBlock supplies music and recorded cat sounds, Muffin_Snakes develops the artwork, and Jeremyciege provides models and animation. Daniel wrestles with the bomb's wick in Godot, then with the explosions that threaten the submission. Once the game reaches players, DougDoug, Jaymoji, Vulpixie and others discover that making a game and making it agreeable are separate assignments.

Across the channel, the existing catalog added roughly 1.8 million views over the week, with subscribers unchanged. Daily viewing is currently below its usual level. That weekly audience is close to Blarg's, while Northernlion is having a busier week among similarly sized variety-gaming channels.

Cata-Bomb is attracting more daily views than either "Giving my Chat a gun.," the Kirby upload, or "protect him," which sends CJya into Daniel's badly behaved Mario-flavored bots. For a creator usually associated with bending Nintendo games into comic experiments, this time the troublesome game is his own.
