I really shouldn't have to say this but don't go harassing the non-human video game flattenings wiki people. super super not cool to do, just let them live their life enjoying cartoonish flattenings please.
Hello, I see you have survived the rabbit hole that I have made, and I'll be honest.... That bit was pretty damn funny. Understandable because, if I found something I thought was weird and just plain out there, I too would be really "wtf." Only had to repair a little bit of vandalism (At least for now). Funny vid btw, fun to see a random game like Zapper getting some spotlight.
Fun fact: Zapper was actually supposed to be a sequel to Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge (which was also developed by Blitz Games) but Konami chose to do the infamous Frogger: The Great Quest instead.
Bruh I spent waaaay too many hours on frogger 2. Hard to say that it was good per se, but childhood me bashed my head into some of the dumb stuff that game threw at you
The shot through the cloaca really got me xD I'm still sitting here in shock genuinely thinking a lot about that. Why did this game feel the need to make an animation going through the bird and out of its asshole... what the fuck
the ending haunted me. i remembered it abruptly and it wouldnt leave me alone. the mouth-to-cloaca shot literally magnetized to my brain. the devs of this game just did whatever they wanted i think
Interesting story about this game, not sure if it’s officially confirmed but it makes sense: it was first pitched as the third leg of a Frogger trilogy after the two Frogger games on the PS1, but Konami rejected the idea, so Blitz made it on their own with an original character. The game Konami went with instead was “Frogger: The Great Quest,” which ended up a total failure, so… joke’s on them, I guess.
Please for the love of god never use the phrases "third leg" and "Frogger" in the same sentence ever again, I skimmed across this comment before I actually read the whole thing and the resulting mental image damn near killed me.
Ironically enough, I first learned about this game from the non-human video game flattening wiki. I actually had to go lie down for a moment when it was brought up because I never expected someone to ever stumble upon it by accident and hearing the name of the wiki mentioned aloud by another person put me in a fight or flight mode for a good 30 minutes.
Grayfruit proves again and again why he’s my favorite content creator, no one in my life knows or has seen the Russian homunculus videos, yet grayfruit and lark bring the quality deepcuts, things I don’t remember I remember, and he’s local
The size of the squirrels and so many other aspects of this game make so much more sense when the protagonist is framed as something the size of, I don't know, a frog? Stepping on eggs, maybe the electricity power was even a tongue lash? Watching this with that context is just so interesting to me. That is, except the monkey. Why is the monkey so smol?
I owned a copy of this game on every platform it released on. i never personally bought it. I think i played through the first level on each one. Very excited to hear someone else has played it too. I thought I’d never hear about it again
Damn. I was actually listening to the OST for this at work only just 4 days ago... Honestly didn't think anyone else knew about this game except my brothers and I back in the day lol. I should go play the lottery.
Holy shit, I played this game when I was super young and I have literally never heard of it again until this exact moment. I didn't even remember the name so I couldn't even verify if it was real or if it was something I imagined. This video is like an archeological dig of my childhood.
aw yeah, can't wait for them to play the final level where you have to climb up the same stair case that slowly builds itself literally 5 different times
"It's like a Frogger rip off?" Noooooo, it's a Frogger Reskin, essentially. Most accurately, it's the studio doing what they know with their own IP and it's so charming.
DUDE I have been trying to find this game FOREVER. Thank you for pulling it from the recesses of my mind. BTW: Maybe I'm biased but the music in this game SLAPS.
how does this guy manage to play every game i played as a kid and thought for SURE no-one else played. If this guy uploads a video of Croc im gonna lose my shit
It’s uncanny that I had only thought of this game for the first time in years the other day, and here you are with a video. That you spent a great deal of time editing. It’s strange how close it aligned
Didnt realize this channel was gonna bring back a horrible memory from when I was a little kid I ran into that Russian dude with the humunculi and now the damn videos haunt my dreams now and again.
I played so much fucking zapper on the ps2 when I was a kid and forgot about it until 13 years later when y’all released this, I was taken back in time with explosive force my brain is reeling 😭 I always thought the secret platforms were akin to the toy story 2 scene with Buzz as well, it’s so funny to have my brain picked by two dudes just fuckin around on an old ass game. Good stuff as always lads 💕
update to my previous comment: i downloaded this game and played it and now whenever i see a cricket i am filled with a violent rage. i did not enjoy my Zapper: One Wicked Cricket experience
You have awakened some ancient memories long since forgotten in me. I PLAYED THE SHIT OUT IF THIS GAME WHEN I WAS A WEE LAD. I remember I sucked ass at it though, and probably never made it very far.
Oh man, this game I had this on Xbox and it gave me nightmares when I was a child. I remember selling it to a used game store soon after. I kinda hate that I'm feeling nostalgia for this game just from this video. Thanks for bringing these nightmares back, boys :)
The scenario with this game and Rollercoaster Tycoon being at his Grandma’s is almost the exact same situation as me. My cousin had games at my grandparents which included Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, and Zapper, and I played this game so often when I’d come over. Did you also grow up watching Elmo in Grouchland?
I had a disc of this as a child, and after it got lost and I couldn't remember the name, I spent years trying to prove it existed. I had pretty much the same experience as Lark but with 10+ years of mandela effect added in.
Blitz Games used to make the modern Frogger games back in the GCN Era and Zapper was originally going to be a Frogger game, hence the similar gameplay.
This game keeps randomly coming back into my head, after playing it to death as a little kid. I now find that Grayfruit played it, and I just think it's amazing that there IS people who know about this strange but fun game.
I legit think ive watched it like a thousand times its such a comfort video and i can recite iconic lines from it like its a cult classic movie Until recently i thought this video had like 1 mil views thats how entertaining this video is to me
NO FRICKING WAY THAT DEEP CUT TO THE BUZZ LIGHTYEAR THING REMINDS ME OF WHEN I PLAYED A TOY STORY GAME THAT HAS A WHOLE CAMPAIGN WITH BUZZ FIGHTING ZURG AND THAT GAME WAS MY FAVORITE GAME EVER
This hit me right in the nostalgia, played this allot as a kid and man this brings me BACK I remeber spending lots of time messing around with his face
I remeber this game from my youth. One of my earliest memories was playing this but I never knew the name. For years I thought about it off and on and then Grayfruit just decides to casually drop this vid on me!
So sad I can't add that weird acid homunculus thing to the Non-Human Video Game Flattenings Wiki. They'd feature that shit so fast, it'd be the best article ever.

I wish I may, I wish I must-
Konami decided to go for “A STINKY BIGGIE!”
Blitz games also made one of my childhood games, Creature from the Krusty Krab
It was for the best.
that camera shot that goes from mouth to ass is the greatest bit of cinematography I have ever seen. Truly the pinnacle of kino.
and then they follow it up with the transition shot from behind bars to the TV, cinematic MASTAPIECE
this sounds so fucked out of context
Pure Kino
My man literally went through the entire quest not to get his brother back, but his TV ANTENNA
0 character development I can't believe it
When Grayfruit uploads a _video_ about a game I played as a _child_ FEATURING _Lark,_ I undergo nuclear fusion.
Bonus points if it's EDITED BY LARK WHAT
As soon as I saw the notification I said LET'S GOOOOOOOOO
The shot through the cloaca really got me xD I'm still sitting here in shock genuinely thinking a lot about that. Why did this game feel the need to make an animation going through the bird and out of its asshole... what the fuck
Immediately knowing when something is edited by lark is just great
Its a great sensation when the realization hits
I hovered the video because I wasn't too sure if I wanted to watch it and then when the preview started I immediately knew it was lark editing
i wasn't even looking at my screen and immediately knew
It’s visceral.
the ending haunted me. i remembered it abruptly and it wouldnt leave me alone. the mouth-to-cloaca shot literally magnetized to my brain. the devs of this game just did whatever they wanted i think
Everyone in this game is constantly grooving and I’m down for it
This channel is slowly turning into a duo channel
And I’m honestly okay with it
Grayflark
Finally we're getting to the 3rd act in the graylark universe
Grarkfruit
Larkfruit
Grayfruit's reaction to that undescribable ending cutscene shot was the best thing i've seen in a while
*video opens with off topic reference I don’t get*
“Oh, Lark’s in this one!”
i remember seeing a comment a while ago that its always incredibly apparent when Lark edits a video and i love him for it
@@Furrett they’re in like every Lark video lmao
Interesting story about this game, not sure if it’s officially confirmed but it makes sense: it was first pitched as the third leg of a Frogger trilogy after the two Frogger games on the PS1, but Konami rejected the idea, so Blitz made it on their own with an original character.

And boy would I love to see Lark/Gray play that cursed dumpster fire
I honestly see a lot of similarities between this and Frogger: Ancient Shadow. The movement animation feels so similar
Please for the love of god never use the phrases "third leg" and "Frogger" in the same sentence ever again, I skimmed across this comment before I actually read the whole thing and the resulting mental image damn near killed me.
Zapper has frickin' Mortal Kombat-esque death animations AND disturbing amounts of dark humour.
Rated E for Everyone, my ass.
early 2000s was a different time
Real

May I ask what exactly you were doing on the NHVGF wiki in the first place? What nefarious business were you getting up to?

@Lilith does stuff Hi! Yes! I just think he deserves more and the content on some of his smaller videos is just as golden as some of the bigger ones.
6:34 god strikes down from heavens to stop Lark's thought process
never even heard of this game before
edit: GODDAMN what the fuck is that ending cutscene, that's an absolutely insano style shot, like wtf
hope they get banned for showing bird asshole on youtube
dude that did go insaneo style
Tarantino level shit
The last cutscene is straight up the opening of uncut gems but reversed
The final bonus stage in this game (which you unlock when you 100% regular stages) was fucking brutal
the human video game flattening part feels like i walked into Lark actually physically reading the homily in an irl church.
The size of the squirrels and so many other aspects of this game make so much more sense when the protagonist is framed as something the size of, I don't know, a frog? Stepping on eggs, maybe the electricity power was even a tongue lash? Watching this with that context is just so interesting to me.
That is, except the monkey. Why is the monkey so smol?
He is bab
Zapper murdered the intro cutscene. Violently. It didn't just disappear: the game was protecting them from witnessing the crime scene.
Real
i appreciate when the grayfruit endcard is in a matching style to the video game
I owned a copy of this game on every platform it released on.
i never personally bought it. I think i played through the first level on each one.
Very excited to hear someone else has played it too. I thought I’d never hear about it again
Damn. I was actually listening to the OST for this at work only just 4 days ago... Honestly didn't think anyone else knew about this game except my brothers and I back in the day lol.
I should go play the lottery.
OST is like, the best part of this game, I don't think a single track misses...
I love how at 13:44 he jumped perfectly in time with the music. It was extremely satisfying.
Holy shit, I played this game when I was super young and I have literally never heard of it again until this exact moment. I didn't even remember the name so I couldn't even verify if it was real or if it was something I imagined. This video is like an archeological dig of my childhood.
Literally came back to watch this for 27:27 such an innovative game
today we learned that zapper was the cricket behind the slaughter
aw yeah, can't wait for them to play the final level where you have to climb up the same stair case that slowly builds itself literally 5 different times
"It's like a Frogger rip off?" Noooooo, it's a Frogger Reskin, essentially. Most accurately, it's the studio doing what they know with their own IP and it's so charming.
I loved that reaction at the end, because I reacted right at the same time in the video. This game is a fever dream.
10:05 holy shit. Lark's impression of Jerma is fucking amazing
I’m fairly sure that the beatboxing is edited in
if you mean the beatbox, I think it's actually sampled from Jerma
No its lark doing an impression
see, zapper gets flattened in the beginning. get it? he gets flattened! under the shoe! flattened! flattened! flattened! flattened! flattened!
I never thought I'd see a gameplay of this so semi-recently, this was my jam back in the day. Great video!
No but for real tho the body flythrough is an innovative shot that more contemporary filmmakers should be taking advantage of
27:26 that camera shot is wild
DUDE I have been trying to find this game FOREVER. Thank you for pulling it from the recesses of my mind.
BTW: Maybe I'm biased but the music in this game SLAPS.
That Jungle level tho
how does this guy manage to play every game i played as a kid and thought for SURE no-one else played. If this guy uploads a video of Croc im gonna lose my shit
WAZOO
I thought this video was “one winged cricket” and wondered what this had to do with Sephiroth
Well he has small wings
That walking egg looked uncannily like the weird walking egg thing from Sonic Dreams Collection...
These music edits are so innovative. I absolutely adore them
24:12 Lark at his most disgusted I’ve heard him ever
The relationship between these two can make any video perfect
I cannot get over that ending cutscene shot going through Maggie digestive track
My childhood dentist had this game in the waiting room. Unused to console, I mainly just died a lot but still had fun
R.I.P Homunculus guy, could withstand acid spit but not a pulmonary embolism
Seeing a fresh lark-edited grayfruit video in my sub box never fails to make me smile.
It’s uncanny that I had only thought of this game for the first time in years the other day, and here you are with a video. That you spent a great deal of time editing. It’s strange how close it aligned
I was just about to comment on how this entire video felt like a fever dream and then I got hit with the mouth to cloaca shot
FRUIT FRIDAY!!!
I knew this video was going to be edited by lark just by the absolute insanity that is that thumbnail
Didnt realize this channel was gonna bring back a horrible memory from when I was a little kid I ran into that Russian dude with the humunculi and now the damn videos haunt my dreams now and again.
This was one of the games growing up
That ending cutscene caught me so off guard
What were they on when they made this?
9:26 I'm actually scared because I thought of the EXACT scene from Toy Story 2 right before Lark said it.
I played so much fucking zapper on the ps2 when I was a kid and forgot about it until 13 years later when y’all released this, I was taken back in time with explosive force my brain is reeling 😭 I always thought the secret platforms were akin to the toy story 2 scene with Buzz as well, it’s so funny to have my brain picked by two dudes just fuckin around on an old ass game. Good stuff as always lads 💕
i remember this game as a kid, god its way more gruesome than i remembered
Relatable (i played it literal ages after it was made)
the russian guy in the video kills the homonculus with a russian-chinese dictionary. Hope this helps
update to my previous comment: i downloaded this game and played it and now whenever i see a cricket i am filled with a violent rage. i did not enjoy my Zapper: One Wicked Cricket experience
Oh shiiiiit! I played this game ALL the time as a kid! Hell yeah, now I just need him to play Scaler.
Scaler my beloved
lark's genuine hatred of the magpies comes in handy for once
27:27 POV you are a Taco Bell wing
I loved this game as a kid! It's such a blast watching you two goof around on it literally decades later.
You have awakened some ancient memories long since forgotten in me. I PLAYED THE SHIT OUT IF THIS GAME WHEN I WAS A WEE LAD. I remember I sucked ass at it though, and probably never made it very far.
Oh man, this game
I had this on Xbox and it gave me nightmares when I was a child.

I read the title as “One Winged Cricket”
Do with that what you will.
Zapperoth: One Winged Cricket
5:50 The guy they were talking about is dead no joke
can you imagine if, when geese howard falls off the tower at the end of fatal fury, there's a shot that goes through his mouth and out of his ass
Blitz Games used to make the modern Frogger games back in the GCN Era and Zapper was originally going to be a Frogger game, hence the similar gameplay.
someone seems to have vandalized the non-human video game flattenings wiki and the zapper page specifically mentions grayfruit
Watched the vod of this and happy to see it on the main channel
When Lark edits a video YOU CAN TELL
9:25 I also immediately thought of the toy story 2 discs lmao
I was so 100% certain as I clicked on this that it said "One Winged Cricket" and I spent the entire video waiting for the FF7 joke to drop
He has small wings
This game keeps randomly coming back into my head, after playing it to death as a little kid.
I now find that Grayfruit played it, and I just think it's amazing that there IS people who know about this strange but fun game.
Gf and Lark's reaction to the ending cutscene sounds about how that one image of Nostalgia Critic with his jaw dropped looks
This fucking camera during the last cutscene.
read the title as one winged cricket and now i want sephiroth playing cricket
The reason I still remember this is SOLELY because of ending cutscene of going out of the birds asshole
"It's a weird 3D Frogger game."
But not like the actual 3D Frogger game where he gets a SWORD.
this should've been Zapper: One Winged Cricket!
I legit think ive watched it like a thousand times its such a comfort video and i can recite iconic lines from it like its a cult classic movie
Until recently i thought this video had like 1 mil views thats how entertaining this video is to me
NO FRICKING WAY THAT DEEP CUT TO THE BUZZ LIGHTYEAR THING REMINDS ME OF WHEN I PLAYED A TOY STORY GAME THAT HAS A WHOLE CAMPAIGN WITH BUZZ FIGHTING ZURG AND THAT GAME WAS MY FAVORITE GAME EVER
was i the only one who saw the title and thought it said zapper one winged cricket? like one winged angel not like a cricket who lost one of its wings
The OST is off the chain.
I could literally tell Lark edited this from the thumbnail. I love it. Never change.
27:26 the most fucked up moment of this crazy videogame.
This hit me right in the nostalgia, played this allot as a kid and man this brings me BACK I remeber spending lots of time messing around with his face
This game was actually made by the devs of frogger 2. Swampy's revenge. So that's why it foggers
the use of Miserere in the wiki bit was top notch
Thank you so much
I have no idea what this game is, but it can only be good with a thumbnail like that
The Death Animations in this game are so brutal and good!
Specialy the one that cuts zapper in half
I remeber this game from my youth. One of my earliest memories was playing this but I never knew the name. For years I thought about it off and on and then Grayfruit just decides to casually drop this vid on me!
I was thinking about this game last week and for the life of me could not remember anything about it, thank you for this
