Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system developed by Roblox Corporation that allows users to program games and play games created by other users. Created by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004 and released in 2006, the platform hosts user-created games of multiple genres coded in the programming language Lua.
This video is about a group of "Simulator" games that reuse assets. Simulator games are games that primarily feature "pets" as collectibles in order to progress in the game. This is similar to games such as Pet Simulator 99, Pet Catchers, and other Simulator games.

Something I'd like to note about the UI, most of the UI is stolen without paying the UI creator the fee they request. The icons, for example, can be purchased on itch by a developer just trying to make some money but these cash grab simulators aren't actually paying anything to him.
There are 3 types of simulators: Lazy cashgrab Simulators that aren’t even simulators and were just named “simulator” for some reason Actually well thought out and fun games

FrozenObbyX Simulator games are really just scummy exploits for children that really want their money. I may have sold my soul to one of the race games for one of the ugc's. I honestly hated every second of it and wish I didn't do it.
Fun fact: I played one of the running simulators, and one thing i noticed, ALL OF THOSE RUNNING SIMULATORS HAVE THE SAME UGC, THE SAME QUESTS TO GET, ONLY CHANGE THE NAME. They also, private the game before they broke, it happened with one running simulator, and these days, i freaking dont care about free ugc games because they all scam.

A detail I noticed about Lumberjack Simulator... It uses the *exact* same swinging animation as pull a sword. They didn't even bother with making a unique swinging animation, they just copied and pasted it. Edit: The exact same thing can be said about Pillow Fighting simulator too. Same exact swinging animations.

Pillow fighting simulator likely has multiple (empty) places with similar names to have a higher likelihood of being recommended. You join one of them and teleport to the actual game. I have noticed a lot of game studios utilizing this practice.

in general, a lot of games were lazy. 3 games like this, 3 games from Big Games, like 4 games from Gamefam.
I remember playing "Hero tycoon" which was good but i never see it nowdays and are replaced with wierd shit..
You honestly make the best videos, been watching since the hunt video.
a friend of mine was streaming lumberjack simulator to me while she was doing the hunt, apparently ALL of the free pets they give are literally 10 or even more times worse than the pets you get from eggs (the boku pet from playtime rewards for example)
I remember digging into this random stuff on my own with some friends. It was really weird.
Fun fact: there was a third game in the hunt that was this exact thing, it was Arm Wrestle Simulator.
Honestly, I love love LOVE playing simulators. Mostly the only games I play. But the repetitiveness and random crap that appears in them is next level. Some games do it good like Pet Sim 99, but others like pet catchers has boring afk gameplay that is mostly dependent on RNG and time. I have played both and yes, they DO include purchase but neither are pay to win. Simulators are dying and getting less and less creative.
That proves that bee swarm simulator is the best simulator

As you mentioned at the end. You should make a video on the GOOD simulators.
i know that this is completely unrelated to the video but the ykw3 music in the background brings me nostalgia dude
ok so why are you one of the new best youtubers on the platform
And Pull a Sword just got in the classic too… It’s never been this over.
I play pull a sword and ive been stuck in the same zone for months now + they only update for new zones and not to help new players and only do codes with 1.7 million power + its so boring these days literally I can’t deal with the game anymore
It wasn't that bad until pet sim x and Armstrong simulator released
Preston is taking notes right now.
litteraly if i need to do another sim for the hunt just kindly ask “does anybody have there trash pets they dont need?” most of the time theyl give you like 5 golden spongebobs
These types of simulators are so scummy i really hope they go out of fashion soon... but i hoped that for pet sim type games and look where we are
I played butterfly simulatorbefore and i realized that they change grimace shake thing to butterfly race
Idk who you are but you're cool for using yo-kai watch music for the background
9:38 interesting fact: did you know someone made a game that looks almost exactly like this but with a popular character and you like ride them like a horse. speaking of horse there is also a horse one that is exactly the same thing

It’s sad that you didn’t play the Og weight lifting simulator, that one isn’t great but it’s 100x better than the one you played.
make an video about how incrementals and upgrade tree games are just better simulators where they improved on everything
Remember when longer games and more content was seen as the best standard. Simulator games are like the opposite, they make you wanna speed up progress because they’re designed around grinding and instant gratification. So you give in, pay money to speed up the grind, only for the devs to release essentially the same content in the next update, except with a higher grind ceiling. These games are also banking on the hope children develop a gaming and gambling addiction because it means more players and money in the future.
If even one of this type of game in AOT style wins that "ORIGINAL CREATION" Contest wins 1.5M$, Im gonna quit playing Roblox for the rest of my life.
i had to play lumberjack simulator and pull a sword to 100% the hunt and i could feel my brain decomposing and my soul leaving my body
I didn’t even know it was possible to copy paste a game over and over again but here we are
They also use memes in the thumbnails to get plays
5:51 the funny thing theres a actual good game called pillow fight simulator but it only gets 20 players
Now I love simulators but now I realized certain simulators are good and some are bad
can you make a video about prota simulater?(at the cost of your sanity of course)

YESS, I HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! I always disliked the XFrozen corporation heavily (i call it a corporation because they own multiple groups), and they always just try to milk the ever fucked already cash cows of simulators. All of them are copies of Arm Wrestling Simulator (Pull a Sword basically copies the baseplate out of the game), Race Clicker (Grimace Race, Mushroom Race, Butterfly Race, Dragon race, and more crappy race games copy off of the original game too) and other simulator trends. I describe the, "studio" as a leech monster, not because of the way they di it, but how much they do it. It seriously annoys me how this XFrozen people manage to stay on the platform. When I saw Lumberjack Simulator as a part of The Hunt list, I was appalled as hell! Because that game is hot ass, pure garbage. And there couldve been so many other good games that would be great to have filled in that spot of the event game list, like you said in your The Hunt review. I just wish that XFrozen studios could just be banned off the platform, and off with their jingley key type of kid schlop that they release onto the platform.
these games have permanently ruined the font they use in the games for me.
I just love how these horrible games almost have a bootleg Luffy pet
hey bbg you made me lose the EVIL wrap on ToSRW on floor 10 you know what that means.

You are going to be great i feel it i watched ur furst vid too and its great
You forgot to mentoon that ALMOST EVERY SINGLE SIMULATOR uses the same generic icons for rebirth, trading, pets, etc.
when the hunt was still going on they even had a battle pass for "The Hunt"
I’ve played for 6 years started a new account 1 year ago because I lost the old one but DAMN that’s a lot of game passes so much it would make GAMEFAM Roblox games look like they have 1 game pass [im looking at military tycoon and it’s big brother which they both partnered with gamefam war tycoon]

YIPPEE NEW STARISM VIDEO
People have forgotten the definition of simulator. - Simulator, noun, “A machine with a similar set of controls designed to provide a realistic imitation of the operations of a vehicle, aircraft, or other complex system, used for training purposes” While roblox simulators aren’t supposed to be the same as this, they are supposed to follow the same basic thing. Something designed to replicate the feeling of an actual thing. Current simulators don’t replicate the feeling of ANYTHING. Old simulators, such as bee swarm simulator, actually replicate (not very realistic) stuff. BSS simulates what it’s like to make a swarm of bees fight for you. TDS (although more of a tower defense game) replicates using people to kill bad people who walk on a track. Ok this comment is too long and I am tired bye bye
10:44 Tbh, Before The Hunt, the only one I spent time in was Pull a Sword. (Got me the badge quite quickly with the Christmas hammer.) It was on my recommended and decided "Fuck it, let's see what this game is." Yes, the UI is shit, but that just helped me out with a college assignment on finding a video game with good or bad UI. (Game Design major) Never spent anything and I've actually had fun in it. One of the very few out of those that LET you turn off the UI.
the original game was arm wrestling simulator btw, it has thousands of players
1:01 look how they massacred my boy “lumber tycoon”.
This is Roblox simulators a original game comes out 50k bad “fan” games like the running simulators were you get more speed rng games
it actually started from WLS
there are so many creative games with FUN GAMEPLAY that is unique
Oh poor starism, THIS HAS BEEN THE TREND LONG BEFORE RNG GAMES
Pillow Fight Simulator is a real, solid game. Didn't expect the rogamblers to copy the title and get a hundred times the original's players

4:06 There's a game which actually does this but 1000x better called pet catchers
for the egg UGC in pull a sword, you needed 100m "easter strength". now, the swords and pets help you get much more strength, but the easter swords and easter pets don't give you any easter strength! just regular strength! the only way to increase your easter strength is through clicks, and the highest click you can get is 7! so the most easter strength you can get with a single click is 7, and you need 100m of that easter strength to get that vault egg. No need to fear though! you can temporarily increase your easter strength by spending roblox on easter strength potions! I tried to type in every code the game had and non of them increased my easter strength :( I didn't want to pay money though, so I tried to grind, and I got around a whopping 100k strength in around 4 hours I think. I wanted a free egg but it wasn't possible to get unless I paid up so I just stopped and continued on with the hunt. basically the hunt badge was fine but the vault egg UGC was unbelievably scummy
The"OP" pets will become not "OP" after a new update, and tons of the clicking simulators only get players because of free UGC, once the UGC is out of stock, no one plays it.
Ive sometimes been really really bored before thats why i played some of these honestly better than nothing but still so boring
