- Welcome to Steam Sequence, a series where I attempt to play and review every game on Steam in alphabetical order to see if there are any hidden gems among the piles of garbage. This means that I'm playing through all the terrible games so that you don't have to. Please enjoy my suffering.
BHOP Tutorial video: • CS:GO Expert Tutorial:...
This episode features:
NEW SCUFFED BHOP SIMULATION 2026 GOTY EDITION

I feel like you need to listen to the music to get the full experience. I think slowly going insane is part of the gameplay.
I think it definitely impacted my choice to give the 2026 edition a thumbs up. I still question that choice and blame it on subliminal messaging.
I don't know what you all are talking about, it's a great bop and there were so many different styles!
2023's music options got a solid chuckle out of me, I can just imagine the feeling of going from "Oh wow, there is a lot to choose from" to "ah... never mind"
That was 100% my thought process 🤣
I gotta say, despite them almost never making for a quality gameplay experience, games with weird and random stuff in them are somewhat interesting. They're like graffiti, but in game form. Weird stuff that's worth experiencing once, provided you don't need to pay for it.
Got recommended the latest jrpg video by the allmighty algorithm and then proceeded to binge-watch the entire channel :) It's criminal how few watches this great content has, hope you don't go insane before reaching...ehm...actual letters... :D
Thanks for the support!
The channel has literally doubled in the past few days, it's insane.
Actual letters should only be a few years away haha
So funny story, I along with some friends actually were actively working on these games with the lead dev (Shanaz, the guy who speedran the whole game, 10:46)
I was (iirc) a lead artist despite making a single thing for the now cancelled mario party ripoff (scuffed party)
My friend Tobi5158 was a sprite maker for scuffed visual novel.
despite what it may seem like, these games each took around six months to make because of the dev team being very fragmented.
I recount there being over five to six cancelled games over the year I worked on the team.
Expect a comment from Shanaz since he usually keeps up with videos on his games.
I've been binge watching your videos and gotta say, very underrated for how entertaining these are.
Edit: I'm not 100% sure he intentionally makes them terrible or just does so to hide actual lack of skill. That's up to you I guess.
Edit2: To answer your question at 14:02 yes you did, as much as any man can while playing such a *great* game lol
Wow, thanks for taking the time to check out my channel! It's always a lovely surprise to find a member of the dev team in the comments!
I have to ask: was there any reasoning behind the music?
@Graeldon No problem! I've been loving your videos and was surprised to see anyone cover these games.
The reasoning for the music is either because Shanaz thought it was funny or lack of actual skill to make music.
From my time there, I don't remember there being anyone working on music besides Shanaz.
Edit* now that I think about it, there were two other people working on "Music". The whole "songs" were just loud gunfire, sirens etc. Shanaz (thankfully) never used those.
@@Graeldon it's a long story
basically 3 years ago when i was still in high school and still developing 2023, it was for a school project that was supposed to be a mobile game, but I was like fuck it imma make a pc game for trolls. I decided coming up with the whole long ass name to piss off my teacher, so I was with my friends and we made the most long and weird name ever, which turned out to be *NEW* SCUFFED EPIC BHOP SIMULATOR 2023 (POG CHAMP), and the music choice also happens to be the same reasoning as the name, so whenever I was playtesting it in class, the teacher would have to hear the same song over and over again and drove him insane.
I failed the assessment :)
As a TF2 player, I thought bunnyhopping was jumping the second you land on the ground, so the game doesn’t consider you grounded between your jumps. Really useful for trolldiers.
To be fair, our definitions aren’t mutually exclusive.
It is, but diagonal movement while jumping increases your movement speed. Forward bhop just conserves momentum.
Could be different between games though, the explanation I saw was for CSGO
I think bunnyhopping in general is used as a label for any sort of technique involving repeated jumping (often as some sort of way to preserve momentum); the diagonal movement aspect is one particular form of it making use of strafe-jumping and/or air-strafing. I’m not entirely sure on the specifics of the terminology though since there’s no real standardization and does not necessarily appear to be an actual consensus as to what the exact distinctions are (especially if looking at fanbases across multiple different games).
Personally at least in the context of Source engine games like TF2 and CS:GO I’d use “bunnyhopping” or “bhopping” to mean the repeated jumps themselves which preserve speed and “airstrafing” to mean the in-air motion which can be used to manipulate one’s velocity, both of which are then used together to allow one to build up speed.
@@GrizonII Exactly
This game is more like quake 3 bhop because you have to hold the diagonal. Traditional bhop just had you hold a single direction while turning. Quake 3 let's you go faster uh faster, traditional gives you more turning control
Thanks for the review of my games :) I'm very suprised you managed to make it through all 3 without suffering major brain damage hahaha. Appreciate the coverage and effort put into this video!
I had a feeling it was only a matter of time before this found its way to you!
Learning that it's a high school project explains a lot about, well, everything.
This is Hong Kong 97 levels of insanity.
I had to look that up, and I agree, that's pretty wild!
These seem somewhat ungood. I find myself wanting a 24-hour loop of the music soundtrack though. Never can tell when I might need to do some audio-based "enhanced interrogation" and that should do even better than my current fallback, a loop of Herman's Hermit's Henry the VIII.
I've listened to the music once, and that was damaging enough. I think it can be approved as an official method of torture.
Ngl one of the things I like listening to you talk about is when an issue is on the game or the issue is something on your end (like not being skilled at bunny hops) it’s an important and difficult distinction to make sometimes and it makes these reviews more interesting to listen to! Keep it up!
It's the difference between fair and unfair difficulty, and it's a fine line for games to walk
Algorithm served me the Alamo video and I’ve been binging the series since there. Can’t wait for you to hit a legitimate unsung masterpiece!
1/10 Keamu Bean should have been Beanu Reeves.
I used to be a fairly reputable speedrunner in BHOP 2023 and I'm super interested in hearing why you preferred 2026 over 2023. Mostly the music? I always found that the floatier controls of 2023 lent themselves more to interesting shortcuts, and some of the more advanced tech was cut out of 2026 by the changes. Also, been watching the series all the way through and it was super cool to see one of my top 10 games of all time be played!
I'm honestly amazed that this is in anybodies top ten, but hey, more power to you. I got a better sense of speed from the 2026 edition and the "story mode" actual motivated me play more than just a random assortment of levels. It felt somewhat more refined, but also more varied with the level design.
What's your other 9 picks
@@crimsonitacilunarnebula Mainly RPGs and fighting games, the Trails in the Sky games and Digital Devil Saga duology take up most of it, and then Melty Blood, SMT games, stuff like that
Im one of the developers, in my opinion 2023 was better
You are playing with fire by bringing up the idea to create games to torture you mate😂. Binge watching your vids at the moment and really liking it so far!
Hey, if it inspires people to make games, good for them!
Thanks for taking the time to check out my content!
I just recently started on game development, and looking over some of these games makes me really afraid that i might end up like that, publishing a game with memes in the place of a story and complete disregard for user experience. Really motivates me to work harder
At least you have plenty of examples of what not to do? Don't give up on your work!
@@Graeldon well, you're right, nothing can be perfect, it's about learning from mistakes and getting better with experience. That was inspirational, thank you haha
My understanding is that the "good" bhop platformer is generally considered to be Kreedz Climbing. Maybe it'll be Movement Mod once that finishes development.
Idk about all the other people that came and sadly left after the small blow up on the alamo video but im not planning to leave any time soon your videos are just to good
Thanks for the support! Subscriber numbers have stayed steady since that video, so I can't complain =)
Bunnyhopping is used well as an advanced mechanic in the game Hot Lava, and has a tutorial late in the game dedicated to it when it becomes necessary.
Great review, but you have to admit that the soundtrack is fire (or I am going clinically insane, like the guy in my pfp)
the casual flex of that Ori achievement actively made me respect you more and I am not joking. holy hell
It took far more attempts than I'm ever willing to admit. But I'm super proud of it!
One day, Wicked Wiz will stand on this game
I fear for how many future games you are going to have to bunny hop in 😅
Let alone all the insanity inducing meme games out there- Which, to be fair, my friends would- Willingly- play- A n d would leave the terrible music on
Good luck with future games that are heavily influenced by memes and meme culture- They are truly maddening 😅
Great video as always 💕
Thanks for the support!
I was always expecting that I would finish this adventure with less braincells than when I started 😆
I mean, it might not be my thing, or Graeldon’s for that matter, but a serious bunnyhopping platformer would probably find a solid audience. And I know that because the people who are into that play through the TF2 jump maps to relax.
you dont know what youre talking about, that music is a banger
pâqerette down the bunburrows sure has gone wild
Part of me kinda wants to hear the Miku rendition of the song, but I know I’m not mentally prepared
Meme games are all too common sadly. I wonder if any of the thousands out there are actually good.
Well, there's only one way to find out...
in my research of steam dumpster diving, there's more competent H-games than meme games lmao
Oh I played the 2023 version before, interesting seeing it here.
I also got recommended the jrpg video and I just want to say that I'm so glad that the algoritmn did, I'm literally obssesed with your videos!
Your voice is really chill, the editing of the video is neat and the commentary is really good!
Also I really like the fact that I can use your videos as background noises
Btw I'm binge watching your videos while I draw, they are really entreteining!
Keep the good job!
Thanks so much! I'm honored to be background entertainment haha
Audio torture and jumping puzzle pain? Yikes. Stay strong!
Pretty sure the soundtrack could be used as an interrogation method
this video just got sent in the developer group chat (im one of the developers), great video dude haha
this channel is a treasure and you have my sub
Thanks! Welcome to the channel haha
this video is gold
That visual novel looks *very* Ren'Py, though it's not quite the default UI, to their credit.
oh wow that song in the intro fucked me up, i swear that's shot at North Metro TAFE in Perth, it looks identical
Pretty sure it was filmed in Perth! Don't ask me how I know that
@@Graeldon haha, yea i had a look on google maps just after i finished the video (brilliant video btw), it was shot at museum street in the middle of North Metro
Thanks for the kind words!
As someone who used to live in Perth, it's surreal seeing place you know pop up in obscure places
1:18 it’s a quirk in source games overall
7:10 Thats the scuffed part
Neat
At least it was free. That music though...
How very obnoxious. It has "A discord run by a 15 year old" written all over it
for future triple reviews, you might wanna move either the endcard or the final ratings to a different part of the screen, bc it's impossible to see the bhop 2026 rating at 16:11
Dang, I missed that. Great point, thank you!
oh I played this game lol.
great game.
I dont think your meant to hold W after starting and use the A and D keys. Also you gotta airstrafe sometimes
It was really funny watching someone who absolutely sucks at this kind of movement play an entire game based entirely around it lol. Good review though, just downloaded all four games.
I am not built for bhopping.
Good luck to you!
as someone whos bhopped a lot in source games the only question i have is are you holding w (forward) in the air because the game works differently to source games or because you didn't realise you're not meant to? as traditionally when bhopping you don't hold w as it HEAVILY limits your ability to change direction
It's mostly just me not being proficient at it 🤣🤣
The game doesn't teach it well and it's not a technique I've had to use elsewhere
I keep forgetting that you’ve played 3 extra games so it isn’t 28 total games so far, it’s 31.
Where are the Graeldon memes?
Like you have an image that starts with the text: "Graeldon trying to uncover Steam's "hidden gems"" and the next image is a mountain of trash.
What😂
100% agree!
for the algorithm
peepee poopoo ooh
🖱
I stopped liking memes in 2020 so that part of the game alone makes it just look really annoying to me
Dang, the person who made this thinks they are hilarious.
I do (I'm lying)
