This animation gives me WILD Felix Colgrave (the creator of Double King, etc.) vibes, but manages to stand all on it's own through a cleverly made soundtrack, captivating visuals, heavy usage of video game tropes, and all around heart. This is inspired work, and its clear you had fun seeing this idea to fruition. I'm excited for more! A serious delight to watch. I expect a full Meatball Man waltz.
Absolutely. Felix Colgrave vibes from the beggining, and the two details that made it clear that Goose has seen it are the sound and wavy hands of the bonekeeper, and the ending. This is an amazing and unexpected animation for me, i enjoyed all of it! Amazing work!
I would like to point out that Grobletombus Marble Eyes is credited as the god of the CONCEPT of Life. As such, they are not the god of life, or birth, or anything of the sort, but rather the ideas that people have about it. As such, it seeks to punish Runmo for not doing as people conceive should be the right thing for life. Even though all Runmo wants to do... Is live.
Honestly my favorite character out of this whole animation is the one eyed sign And i love how at the meatball man part, it takes him forever to get to the other side but then takes him like 5 seconds to run back.
9:11 - 10:48 This scene was later referenced in another of Gooseworx's shows, The Amazing Digital Circus. Kinger: "Oh, Thank God you're okay. You didn't experience a game show in there, did you?" Zooble: "Err... What... are you talking about?"
This would be a cool game concept like actually, you could play the first level normally and the rest of the game would be a cutesy normal playformer, but if you slide down the hole it’s a completely different game
how to end a series: - character dies - no explanation - the universe ends edit: i didn’t mean that runmo did all of them nor did i watch/read jojo back when i made this. lol
“So when the king extracts lives to make a drink that expands his own lifespan it’s fine, but when I mistake the head of a corpse for a 1-up suddenly it’s a cosmic crime?”
It seems a bit more in line with using the death of Runmo's predecessor sorta fucking up the fabric of the universe, what with the lives icon glitching out and being replaced with the head of the corpse multiple times.
@@loljustacomment2799 If you mean why does he blow up at the end. You should think about it. When a game ends there is nothing else about the game to be played including the characters. So I guess in the end he is meant to die because the game was over. *_:-:_*
Sadly enough, I think Grobletombus Marble Eyes was probably the nicest, friendliest creature in the entire story, all things considered, and if he hadn't failed his platforming section, Runmo probably would have been stuck in time/space jail for eternity, but with someone who'd patiently at least explain philosophy to him. In the Meatball Man room, anyone else notice that Runmo easily ran back to safety faster than he did running forward? I guess it fits with the concept of being more afraid of dying than living.
@gillvermcg in TADC after one of the characters is swollowed and spit out by the glorp (?) queen, Kinger askes if they saw a game show in there- in reference to runmo being on the gaestric giveaway
Watching this 4 years later and oh my god. This is fricken amazing! I went through a LOT of different emotions watching this, and man, I am NOT disappointed. Love your work goose!
At the end, we still see Meatball Man floating there and he's only lost like a quarter of his face. Clearly he's the most powerful character here the death of the universe only scarred him

This feels like a weird game you’d play as a kid but not realize just how strange and creepy it really was until you go back and play it when you’re older...
I remember when I was a kid and the story of Halo 2 went completely over my head and I thought the gravemind was a talking plant and the flood infection forms where made of popcorn. I was a weird kid
You know what's weird about that I sent this to my friend who had never seen it because we like watching these weird animated stuff. And last night he sent me Double King
"Oh so the king can crush people into a drink to expand his life but i can't eat ONE person's head because I was losing my mind to the point that I thought it was one of my lives?" - The guy on death row for being a cannibalistic psycho that beheads his victims and pretends he's in a game
It's because its the head of a dead person. So runmo used life instead of death. Resulting in a disruption in the essence of life. Pretty crazy information if I say so myself.
Its weird when i get actually scared, but the meatball man just made me feel like this video got into my wierdest yet scariest nightmares, that scene some will find it funny but i found it really unnerving, something that made me feel really weird and scared like never before, congrats to the person who made this animation 10/10 this is the exact representation of what anxiety and weirdness would look like.
It was probably because Runmo knew it was inevitable and he wasn't able to make it, no matter how fast he ran the meatball man was still going to kill him and he panicked and turned back. Running much faster than he had before, he probably would have made it if he ran that fast and kept going Okok I just rewatched it- it's also bc the meatball man is in the background slowly coming closer with that weird ass but funny screaming song And i now have proof that Runmo would've made it, he was a little bit more than half way before he turned back
That's existential dread my guy because something infinitely vaster than you with alien form and unknown intentions is just straight up looming over you slowly getting closer.
With the height of that room’s ceiling, that tiny hand must have been going down before the king was punched in the face, quite an advanced system to predict when somebody is about to be punched.
@jaybe270 both this and Elain the Bounty Hunter have the main characters get swallowed and are forced to "experience a game show" so it's a reference to both
When listening to the Runmo soundtrack you can recognize a distinct style. All the songs feel like they belong together. One repeated idea I heard was extended melodic phrasing. Just when you think the melody will take a break, it continues onward. The continuation of phrases makes the song sound like its trying to tell you something, like there are lyrics but no one bothered to write them down, which gives every song a powerful onward motion. The lack of dialogue in 'little Runmo' matches nicely with this style. Its a story no one thought or wanted to tell, until now and the songs are bursting with this feeling. Contrast this with another amazing soundtrack from a game like Hollow Knight. It has melodies and styles that are repeated throughout it, but the atmosphere of the songs is far more haunting and wistful, as if longing for the old days. The themes, once again, match the story as you explore Hallownest in the wake of tragedy. The songs are more atmospheric. Songs from hollow knight do not lend themselves well to lyrics. there is no way to describe how it feels to enter the white palace for the first time or discover the once great city of tears. even the boss themes are designed to invoke feelings that words could never come close to. Runmo on the other hand is whimsical and vibrant. it is a story which is begging to be told. Adding lyrics to the OST is as natural for the music of Runmo as exploring ruins is for hollow knight. There are videos which add lyrics to Runmo songs and to Hollow Knight songs. I know which I prefer. Although it is very satisfying to hear words put to the songs, lyrics take away some of the magic of the Runmo music. Free of lyrics, it works harder to communicate the feelings, thus making each song an adventure. Gooseworx. What a truly awesome job you've done on this. I love everything about Runmo and i think its brilliant. It is an inspiration to me. Thank you!
Also what fits more towards thus, or just something to mention, almost none of the songs end properly, the only one i can remember is the lose life song, and that’s obvious. The rest are cut off and not finished properly. Even the credits song is interrupted by the life lost jingle.
I like how Runmo can probably see that the path he’s on leads to an endless abyss at the end, but is so happy that he runs towards it without a care in the world anyways. I like to think he’s exploring it as a ghost now.
I just learned that the fundus is a scientific term for the upper part of the stomach and not just a silly word that Gooseworx made up, as I had believed for nearly two years until today. The Wheel of Fundus is actually a pun, and I came back just to say, Ya got me.
I mean out of everything here that was the one scene that went absolutely nowhere. It could have been cut with no effect on the plot. It just stand out bruh.
It's not because it's cringe and messed up that you can say it's the same... There is waaaaaaaaayyyy more effort and time put in double king (not that I didn't love this toon, tho)
This is amazing. The surreal visuals really reinforce the strange and beautiful feel of this whole artwork. The music fits so well, with the cheery tune for the beginning, and Meatball Man's theme fitting with the absurdity of that scene. I love the fact that Runmo never speaks or has a mouth, but conveys so much emotion nonetheless. I like that you can see some Little Dangers in the background at some scenes. The character design is great, too. My favorite is Pikit.
Meatball man is really something of a Lovecraftian horror: you can’t beat him, you can’t even fight him, all you can do is to try not to be driven mad by just knowing that he is somewhere out there, and hope that he never considers you or your world anything worth destroying or conquering. All you can do, is hide in a corner and pray for your life to not be ended by this eldritch horror that, no doubt, has already destroyed countless worlds and will destroy many more.
@mr. random You ever have one of those dreams where someone in a dark room just stares at you. Youre not sure what they want or why they are there. They dont say or do anything. Just stare...
Well that's how life is. You see an obstacle most would assume to be easy but you have difficulty overcoming. So you look for any way around it; you seek aid from unhelpful acquaintances, a person in a position of power, and when all else fails you look for an easier path that just makes things worse. Ultimately when he did decide to overcome, Runmo found that his reward was disappointment, as he'd made everything else so much worse simply in pursuit of an easier life.
Plot twist: Runmo ended up in a strange place, with weird blocks and a red and white sky. He didn't look the same, but rather like a chess piece. Over time, he made friends, and soon forgot most of his past. But some things you never forget. YOU DIDN'T EXPERIENCE A GAME SHOW IN THERE, DID YOU?
OH MY FREAKING GOSH I WATCHED THIS WHEN I WAS ALOT YOUNGER AND YOU WERE A SMALL RUclipsR IN MY HEAD. BUT NOW YOU LITERALLY HELPED MAKE/MADE A SERIES ON ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHANNELS :OOOOO

Gooseworx: releases a masterpiece of an animation
Everyone: *M E A T B A L L M A N*
I mean out of everything here that was the one scene that went absolutely nowhere. It could have been cut with no effect on the plot.
It just stand out bruh.
*Quiet. You’re just upset because the meatball man made you fail no nut November*
A Rock... Someone made a song for meatball man...
@@APerson-bu2pk lol yeah I can't believe it 😂
His meatiness is not to be questioned, only worshipped. Lest you be rolled into his magnificent visage against your will. Then you will SEE.
I can't believe I was one of the first who understood the reference in TADC, "You didn't experience a gameshow in there, did you?"
This is deeply unsettling on a level I struggle to describe.
I agree.
It’s on level one clearly
The music in the Runmo Head Factory was what made me go "wait a second"
nihilism
I give the level a five out of six
This seemed like a cute mini movie
BOY I WAS WRONG
I was watching the first part then i looked up to the video and yeah, BOY I WAS WRONG
Agreed

I remember watching this a year ago and decided to go back to it because of how amazing it is

Same here. It’s real good!

How is it, that I've watched this animation so many times, yet I had no idea Goose actually made it.

I wish an easter egg existed like this in a platforming game, so cool.
Actually, I have just the game for you! Look up "Infinite Monkeys Bending Reality". It's exactly what you're looking for.

Check out a little game called goomba simulator
The Stanley Parable has a lot of things where glitching out of the game ties into the story. it's pretty fun.
@@aidenpike2480 If it doesn't have something like the Meatball Man room, then i'm not interested

The One and Only Riddle 🤔
Yes exactly what I was thinking
It's a very similar style of story telling.
It's not because it's cringe and messed up that you can say it's the same... There is waaaaaaaaayyyy more effort and time put in double king (not that I didn't love this toon, tho)
oh my god yeah
If only I could watch this for the first time again…
This is amazing. The surreal visuals really reinforce the strange and beautiful feel of this whole artwork. The music fits so well, with the cheery tune for the beginning, and Meatball Man's theme fitting with the absurdity of that scene. I love the fact that Runmo never speaks or has a mouth, but conveys so much emotion nonetheless. I like that you can see some Little Dangers in the background at some scenes. The character design is great, too. My favorite is Pikit.
2 Years later, my favorite hasn't changed. Still Pikit.
Still 2 YEARS AND ONLY 2 OF US ANSWERED THE DUDE
@@visibleshow only 1 of us, the other person was me

Goose works has gone from making simple 2d animations to the digital circus,what a king! You earn my respect.

My favorite is Runmo. For real though, why does no one like him besides me?
B O N E S
Meatball man is really something of a Lovecraftian horror: you can’t beat him, you can’t even fight him, all you can do is to try not to be driven mad by just knowing that he is somewhere out there, and hope that he never considers you or your world anything worth destroying or conquering. All you can do, is hide in a corner and pray for your life to not be ended by this eldritch horror that, no doubt, has already destroyed countless worlds and will destroy many more.
This but imagine you going outside and hearing his voice singing the waltz
your chances of getting killed by the meatball man are incredibly slim, but never 0%
@@ActuallyRocatex just like the chances of grombletombus ending the universe because of a mistake someone made is incredibly slim

@@sumbuddy4088 oooh thank you! I hadn't realized everyone had names at the endscroll of the credits :D
i love how this all happened over a obstacle that doesn’t even look hard (even though it PROBABLY is)
Assuming the game has no control issues, it's fairly simple. Not typically the first obstacle you see, but simple nonetheless.
Well that's how life is. You see an obstacle most would assume to be easy but you have difficulty overcoming. So you look for any way around it; you seek aid from unhelpful acquaintances, a person in a position of power, and when all else fails you look for an easier path that just makes things worse. Ultimately when he did decide to overcome, Runmo found that his reward was disappointment, as he'd made everything else so much worse simply in pursuit of an easier life.
this is such a "YOU made this??" moment
13:22 The final boss when you fight him
13:53 The final boss when you unlock him as a playable character
Munx07 -it’s to balance out the game, but it’s still disappointing. F
Well at least he has an awesome soundtrack
@@imirish1457 the best soundtrack if we are not talking about meme standard "m e a t b a l l m a n"
@Axenscity, well then the second best soundtrack in the video
Sort of like don’t starve
this has identical energy to double king
Especially the ending.
I kinda like the video game video of this tho,
@tuanan12345 if there was an actual game I would sooo play it.
Every year I find a really good animation and double king was last year and this is this year
Thank you! It was on the tip of my tounge!!
I hope you're ok with the fact that I will refer to this only as Untitled Gooseworx Game.
Nice profile picture.
yeah you got a sub from that
i love the untitled goose game
utka
But it’s called Little Runmo
That's genius
Plot twist: Runmo ended up in a strange place, with weird blocks and a red and white sky. He didn't look the same, but rather like a chess piece. Over time, he made friends, and soon forgot most of his past. But some things you never forget.
YOU DIDN'T EXPERIENCE A GAME SHOW IN THERE, DID YOU?
I want to see a documentary of this production. To know what was lurking in the creators mind when they made this
It was probably one of those films where the author was drunk or high when they made it, just like alice in wonderland, lmao

It’s interesting how Runmo decided to turn off the 1 up machine instead of climbing up to the top and gorging himself on 1 ups.
