Crush the Castle from Armor Games was a smash hit online game! The first of many games in this series has managed to earn 27 Million plays on the Armor site alone!
But, shortly after, Angry Birds came along. A game which was bought and installed 500 MILLION times!! It's considered one of the most successful, best selling games of all time.
The problem is, it pretty well replicated Crush the Castle beat-for-beat. So in this episode of Flashlight, I want to take a closer look at the development history of Crush the Castle and Angry Birds, and help shed some light on how these games came to be.
The story takes a few unexpected turns, and I think this video paints a fascinating picture of of inspiration, and allows us to compare who really rip-off ed who, if anyone?

This video was first made 2 years ago. I ended up not updating much. I mostly changed a bit of phrasing that had to do with timelines (ie. Angry Birds Movie 2 wasn't out yet).
I also stitched in comments from Joey Betz that I found in an AMA. I think those comments straight from the dev added a lot!
I know I said Fancy Pants was going to be the next episode, but I had to push that one pack. For... Reasons. But it's going to be worth it!
Its a great video
Please do a video on Epic Battle Fantasy. That was one of my favorites growing up.
@@Zander2212 I would love to at some point! I need to come up with a strategy though. Playing 100s of hours of that series for a single video would be a LOT of work!
@@2leftthumbs Understandable. My best suggestion would be to ask anyone who has done a Let's Play if you could borrow some footage (though I'd suggest making your own footage for some of it). Or, since they're so big, you could do a series like Henry Stickman.
I don't know if either of those are feasible though, just spitballing.
@Amphibia Bird The timing of that is pretty crazy!
Man I completely forgot about that old game Crush the castle. I only remember playing a hacked version with my brother and throwing black holes everywhere lol.
I've never seen that. Sounds kinda great!
I'll admit I had no idea that Crush the Castle itself was inspired by older games. You know more about Flash than I do.
Wow
hmm
I appreciate the vote of confidence! I take pride in my flash history knowledge :)
But if it were to come down to a battle of Flash gaming skill? I think you'd have me beat every time xD
hey its that guy
@@Ceptle Your not that guy Beltran trust me your not that guy! 😐
Crush the castle's fire bombs were like crack cocaine to my baby 7 year old brain
Here's my idea for the next Flashlight video: Eddsworld.
I think it will be cool to know about the history of this internet masterpiece.
Absolutely I'd love to sometime! It'll be tricky. I'd want to be very delicate about that one, and make sure it's all framed and presented appropriately
I remember Crush the castle, that brings back memories
Honestly my 3rd fav flashlight episode (right behind pico and tankmen). Good job, as always Graeme. You never cease to impress me.
Thanks Max! Glad to hear the quality feels maintained :)
@@2leftthumbs no problem ;)
Toothpaste + Orange Juice= *DEATH*
Have you tried the rusty lake series? Seems like the perfect game to analyze, the games are also pretty cheap when they're on sale on steam. 10 of the games are cube escape games, and can be played on a flash emulator instead(although they are slightly different to the steam release, but I don't think any changes important to the story were made).
Also, always liked armor games as well, when I was younger it was the site I always went to for flash games. I remember playing so much bubble tanks.
I definitely want to go deep on the Rusty Lake series sometime! I know it will be a serious commitment to stitch it all together, so I am saving it for when I have more time
You should do a flash light video about epic battle fantasy
Man i used to play those games all the time
I would love to! I just need an opportunity to play all the games through first, which I know will take a very long time.
Could you consider covering about Flipline Studios' Papa Louie games, please?
I'd love to at some point!
I do find throwing birds at walls more enjoying than stones, but I will respect the foundation of my favorite game.
God crush the castle was my absolute game as a kid
Angry birds give me a lot of nostalgia sad that's rovio destroyed it
Me to, it was my faworite game when i was a kid. I still have a lots of angry birds plushies in my home.
@@aka2384apes/małpy together strong
-wow that's pog
@@weebinit8011 xd nawet zabawne
@@aka2384 oke
We have to give Rovio another chance because the new angry birds game Angry birds reloaded looks promising
hol up is that the “for the king” menu theme playing in the background 8:26
I remember HATING Angry Birds when it came out because I loved Crush the Castle and I thought it was a ripoff lol.
The hypocrisy is crazy, even crush the castle is a ripoff of castle clout.
I actually like
the look of siege master
Yeah I think they did a great job with it!
I don’t know man,that chicken looks like it could get all of there friends and kill you if you pick them up
Chicken sus
I think something the internet needs to realize that all art is stolen, nothing is truly original. Getting inspiration can be big or small, but Angry Birds in the End was an original idea. Yes, a big part of it is inspired by (or stolen from depending on how it's looked at), but it still added onto that idea and turned it into something new.
Exactly.
If the guy is using operant terms, then "positive punishment" is wrong. Positive punishment would be some stimulus appearing to punish the player for failing. The bloody corpses are positive reinforcement, they just don't work as that for everyone
Would you be interested in making videos on Flash websites
It's certainly something I plan to do someday! There are plenty of websites that have made significant contributions to the culture and industry of Flash games.
I was waiting this one to get revised
Please do the Warlords series!
big thanks for this video, this helped me for my presentation on angry birds 👍
Love it
This sounds like an old flashlight episode
The flash games Dark Cut (I think that was the name) were also very obviously copied to make Trauma Center
I played angry birds since I was little, and I just discovered crush the castle recently. I personally think they are both great in their own way
They took the idea and made it slightly different for new platform
He should do a flashlight on madness combat
He literally forgot the name of his on game
Primary flashlight when?
maybe 21st?
Why do your vids not get recomended to me?!?!?
Excellent question
Angry Birds improved upon Crush the Castle on so many levels.. First off, the artstyle&aesthetics are much more colourful&charming whereas the flash game's artstyle is very drab and secondly, it fixed an issue with CTC, switching the boulder sling with a normal slingshot made the aiming much more precise.
I look at thiis in the same way as Final Fight Vs Streets Of Rage, was SoR a blatant rip off of FF? Yeah but its sequel Sor2 ended up being one of the best beat'em'ups ever made and SoR2 has its own identity separate from FF. Lot of games start off as rip offs such as saints row or medal of honour but eventually they create their own identity down the road.
Crush the castle is like the rip off name castle crashers but it isn’t anything like castle crashers
crush the castle 2 should get released on mobile and it'll destroy angry birds. build your own castle however you like with unlimited parts, put the people inside and destroy other people's castles.
The original bird games aren't even up anymore so
THAT'S NOT WHAT POSITIVE PUNISHMENT MEANS
I took Pysch 101 and this totally went over me. Yeah, operant conditioning has got some counter-intuitive terminology.
👍👍
I think angey birds it just inspired by crush the castle or mabye is a coincidence
Ayo, I dont really like angry birds, but if you want to say that they ripped of crush the castle its the same thing to say that they copied bowman aswell.
nice video btw
Yes
Woh
40th ike
(Visible confusion)
WHAT!
Is not a rip off it’s inspired
all of them are yeet tho
2nd
Hi everyone anyone played flash games of angry birds?
Yes it is
Saying Angry Birds is a ripoff of Crush the Castle is like saying Sonic is a ripoff of Mario.
THANK YOU.
Tbh its better than Crush the castle my opinion
Avatar fortress fight
Well, no angry birds is not a ripoff to crush the castle
It’s befor crush the castle
First Crush the Castle: May 2009
First Angry Birds: December 2009
Well I think it’s befor crunch the castle, but That’s okay about your comment
@@ABPinkandBlueAbestie5590 i made a horrible mistake looking at your videos. "What tis the boy saw? His Girlfriend and her skirt ( 16+ )" 💀
Inspiration is when you make a game LIKE the original. This is literally just a reskin.
Part 2 worst rip offs angry bird please. 😀
Crush the casl is not the same
This game looks ugly compared to Angry Birds
Crush the castle was better
Yes
