<p>As you can see, There's someone who shoot himself playing the game on a smartphone.</p>

<p>Then he opened a game hack generator website that gave him more gold and gems to his game.</p>

<p>Then he came back to the game and as you can see the gold and gems started to increase until they reach 999,999 each one of them.</p>

<p>So how did the makers of the videos did the effect of the numbers getting increase?</p>

<p>When I asked a few people how they done that they said that they won't tell me but they did say that they edit the video with After Effect+Photoshop.</p>

<p>I really want to know how they did the number increasing in mobile game effect.
Thanks in advance :)</p>

That's almost 18 minutes of footage to watch. I don't think people on this site will spend 18 minutes to answer your question. For each video, will you please indicate where the effect appears?

I scrolled to the end of the first video, and it's in the last 30 seconds or so. Didn't watch any of the others.
