YouTuber goes viral after recreating Logan Paul's CryptoZoo-like game in three hours

Yipy, a fairly small YouTuber with about 7K subscribers, recently became the talk of the town after creating a free-to-play NFT game called RealZoo. It is closely based on CryptoZoo, the Logan Paul venture which has faced stern scrutiny. Yipy's game includes all the features initially included in Paul's project.

The YouTuber claimed to have programmed the game in less than three hours. In a video uploaded to his channel, Yipy disclosed that RealZoo allows users to buy eggs in the game, which would hatch into hybrid animals. He also revealed that he had programmed plenty of coins for players to buy free eggs. In comparison, CryptoZoo charges 300 coins for one egg.

Due to the practicality of the project, the video quickly went viral. At the time of writing, the YouTube video has amassed over 330K views.

Gaming community reacts after YouTuber turns Logan's Crypto-based game into a functioning one

Logan Paul has been under the cosh since Coffeezilla's video series came out. For those unaware, Paul had co-created a Crypto project called CryptoZoo, which collapsed after millions of dollars of investment. Subsequently, the creators pulled the rug from under the project. However, users who had invested in the game revealed that they were unable to withdraw their money.

Although Paul initially maintained a stance of defiance against the allegations, earlier today (January 7), he announced that he would take accountability and address the situation in a future video.

Regardless of his latest comments, Paul's game remains inoperable. Yipy decided to program a game with a similar pattern. The major difference is that it is a playable game, albeit a buggy one.

The YouTuber also revealed that his game will be free-to-play for the most part. However, users may be charged a certain amount if the game blows up to cover the cost of keeping servers online.

Yipy's creative and ambitious project turned out to be successful. The video has garnered hundreds of thousands of views, and the news was also shared by Jake Lucky, who attracted further eyeballs. The following are some of the notable reactions:

Many pointed out that the art used in Yipy's game is far superior and creative to that of Paul's. One user wrote:

Logan Paul retracted his initial response video in which he claimed to file a lawsuit against Coffeezilla. Further news regarding the controversy should be updated on Logan's channel.

During his downtime, he enjoys balancing his interests in reading, watching films and sports, and of course, playing video games.
