**VIDEO SPOILERS BELOW** ElecHead Review, starting with what I liked: - The main mechanics were incredibly rich and expertly fleshed out. There were nearly a hundred unique consequences that stemmed from only two actions, and every consequence had its own level about discovering that interaction and nothing else. - There were TONS of aha moments scattered throughout the game, it is incredibly good at making you feel smart. - Every single level felt fun to solve. None of the solutions felt clunky to execute or overly similar to previous levels. - The difficulty ramp was smooth, starting with enjoyable easy levels and building towards head scratchers. The head scratchers only seemed easy because of how well the early levels trained you. The average time per puzzle was appropriate for puzzles that only required a single revelation to solve. - The platforming was the perfect level of difficulty, easy enough to not be a burden, but tricky enough to justify this being a puzzle platformer in the first place. - The 30 gadgets minigame was a thrilling break from the main game. It tested platforming ability and planning ahead in a different but enjoyable way. - The golden gadgets were incredibly fair to find, I LOVE an organized secret system combined with obvious visual cues for secret rooms. - It is incredibly difficult to design a good level that plays differently when you return to it with new information and abilities. This game succeeded at that on several occasions - the entire backtracking portion was glorious. - The art style was solid and extremely effective at conveying information. - The soundtrack was banging and matched the art style. - The minimalist story built the atmosphere well. - While I didn't find many in my playthrough, there are several well-hidden color palettes that require persistence or extreme thinking outside the box (see the "secret" powering off mechanic) to find. Because they are less fair, I like how optional they are. If you want a true challenge, you might enjoy hunting for those. I don't think I'll do so myself. - This game was exactly as ambitious as it needed to be. It ensured that its ideas were developed to perfection, rather than introducing several ideas that it couldn't execute well. The vast majority of video games are way too ambitious, as they overvalue ideas (which are worth next to nothing alone because every human being has ideas) and undervalue execution. What I didn't like: - The only criticism I can think of is that this game does not stand out on a conceptual level. However, I could argue this about every video game except for maybe 10. A video game does not need to reinvent the wheel to be good, and this game instead perfects a particular niche. Well done. Overall Rating: 10/10 (Flawless)

"i might not do all the secrets" 1 day later:

When the idle animation is a gameplay mechanic

I love a concise game like this. It gets in, does what it set out to do, and gets out. Put another way: All killer, no filler.

Hey Tyler, there's a secret mechanic called rocket head mechanic, which allows you to shoot the head upwards like a rocket for a while. I know you already completed the game, but it's a fun fact, plus it's used in the minigame to get scores upto 50

Believe it or not this still isn’t everything. There’s a way to find an additional secret bonus power.

After being spoiled with 12 inscryption videos it's sad seeing this series end so fast

8:00 This made me lose my mind. I beat this section with precision jumps and a solid half hour of rage. To beat it with something so simple makes me so frustrated. I literally never knew that idle animation was a thing! I felt even worse when I got to the other side and it's just a colour palette and not even a secret...

17:45 If it weren’t for this puzzle to be in the way, it would’ve been quite a nice trick/touch where that the “True” ending was always there at the start of the game. But since you would need to throw the head to be able to pass it though, you would also need the rest of the abilities to get back to the start. For a moment, I thought that it was possible to get this ending right at the start of the game, but it wouldn’t be possible to pass that section.

man… the two endings and their locations just instills a certain emotion inside of me i cant identify edit: yall need the hornknee bonk my pfp is not sauce darn it

"As soon as the shiny turd exits the screen!" **thinks** ...is he talking about the head?

I was so furious when he almost had the puzzle in the second stage But didn't realise it and gave up

In Metroidvanias, you unlock powers as you progress. In Elechead, knowledge is power.

Dam, watching this game was so much fun but with Tyler playing it made it even better!

I literally just finished the last episode. Your upload timing is godlike. Edit: apparently KZfaq showed me this video before It was supposed to. I ain't complaining.

great game indeed especially because the concept was from a 48 hour game jam .. so all the mechanics were done in 48 hours and then fleshed out into this full game

I love how shocked he was when the robot just shut off out of nowhere.

I love how this game turns simple things into clever puzzles

What a charming gaming. Really enjoyed this series got me scratching me head as well for some of those puzzles. When I saw the first ending I was ready to say 'You fiend! You doomed us all!" But then you redeemed yourself with the other ending lol. Once again great series!

So happy to see this wrapped up neatly and looking forward to more Carto in the future!!

0:34 Game devs: we do a little trolling

The luck be a landlord/elechead crossover we never knew we wanted

Nice puzzle design.

The inscryption dev has another game, though I don’t know if it is a puzzle game. I believe it is called “the hex”. Considering it’s from the same dev, I’d expect similar elements of gameplay, as well as some story connections to inscryption (I think?)

You're an amazing youtuber, man. I really appreciate your content. One of the best! Also if you liked this game, I recommend you try a game called Seedling, on Newgrounds. It's an adventure puzzle game, however short, which has a very nice sound track and plenty of Aha! moments. The sort of minimalist story telling paired with the fluidity of the game mechanics (for its time) are really awesome, and I know you'd appreciate it like I did so many years ago. I think you should try it if you're looking for games like ElecHead.

I love the * tonk * noises

extremely cool game, loved the playthrough!

Let’s fucking go this game has been so fun to watch, sad to see it go tho

Wanted to recommend the game Temple of Snek. It's a puzzle game based around the early video game Snake, but with some metriod-vania progression elements. As you solve rooms you eat enemies, and as you eat enemies you grow longer, and as you grow longer you can solve different puzzles but must also protect your larger body from traps. While I was impressed by the scope and depth of mechanics, I do feel it left me wanting a more conclusive ending, but it currently finished with a to be continued screen. Over all its great for puzzle lovers who want a challenge and can deal with some trial and error due to timing based movement and limited camera perspectives.

Very happy about this game.

Day 1 of recommedning Perspective. Its one of my favorite puzzle platformers from when I was in high school and I think Tyler would really enjoy it!

Hey Tyler, this game reminded me of another one called 1000 Amps, also a puzzle platform. I think you'll like it, it also plays as a metroidvania

im in love with this game, its a shame it has to end.

So the endings bring up a question, how much power is in elec’s head?

haven’t finished the video yet but yes more elechead!! i was waiting for this exact minute the ending music slaps :(( so sad it’s done now though, i hope the dev releases a new game soon aleady

Sacrifice the earth to gain a sun, or sacrifice yourself and become a sun.

Destroyed the earth and got rid of the evidence, another job well done.

Oh god i didnt know you could do 16:26 without the rocket head. I was completely stuck in that room, then discovered the rocket head online, then solved that room using it with a totally different solution that i figured out on my own. Ngl I was mad at the designer that i couldnt complete the game without the most obscure unhinted hidden powerup ever.

Ok so I know I just am one person and it's not super a puzzle game but I would love to see aliensrock play outerwilds

Favorite series

What an amazing series!

When i was playing it i thought that the earth explosion is the good ending lol

going back to the beginning is the normal ending, getting 20 chips is the secret one

The good ending, the earth survived Yeah, I wonder how long earth sustains life without the moon. Ebb and Flow say bye bye

Okay but seriously where did you get the art for the previous episodes thumbnail its so sick

Care to share where you find indie games like these? Excited to see what series is next.

best series in my opinion gud job

Thing with fast platform at 8:00 got to be a bug. I don't remember it going that fast and i found all secrets. Shiny turd in slot machine secret is actually head. I wish you showed completion time just to compare. Mine was 5 hours and 15 minutes.

16:44 throw the head? *Yeet*? Edit: yay

Huh, this looks like an interesting speed run. A Moon% run shouldn’t be too long…

Nice

You have a BIG BRAIN

19:51 is it just me or is there something at the top right

Amagin if his camera turned yellow when he got the bad ending

2:13 I think we all know what happened there.

19:09 damn the explosion was so strong it damaged the mic

RIP Elechead

There is a new world in poly bridge!

I just noticed the chips correspond to the number like section 4 has 3 chips

I think the reason the secret ending involves destroying the Earth is because Elechead isn't actually on the Earth; when you blow up the moon you kill Elechead.

He could still have done something at 17:23

5 minutes ago. Wow. What perfect timing.

“This was the place where I shot up”

Hey Tyler, you should try plating Solas128, what I can say is that it burns some brain cells to solve puzzles

at 0:20 you could just never enable them by throwing it mid air

You should play dicey dungeons

Wait a minute, did this game get an update? I don't remember these sections!

You should play the quell games.

There is another power that you mist Altough getting to it is quite hard and weird

Aliensrock

Day #10 of being excited for Tyler's daily uploads!

Wait didn't he have the ability to recall his head at will?

Have you played "HUE" yet?

4:30 i couldve done that easily

So what do the endings mean?

Hmmn why did elec head kill the entire planet? Lol

SPOILERS Electicity, just like anything, can be a force for good or for evil. It is up to the user to use it wisely.

why does he want sea crits so badly?

Wassup

I think you hit my house

Ok, but WHY does every puzzle game have to end with the end of the world?

Why did your quality drop after the moon exploded?? What happened there?

Hi

The funniest part is that he warped back so all he's done over the past episode needs to be redone

What do you call a chubby psychic? A "four-chin" teller

Ahahaha, funny joke, just watched Isab video, included masters.

Day 26 of having a good time watching tyler, what a good end to a shocking game

1h

Pls play more luck to be landlord

mic failure?

Well this must be a boring game to any% speedrun, lol

Day 14 of asking Tyler to play Helltaker

You didn’t finish it. Also you never mentioned why you can randomly flip your head

for the one puzzle you could not figure out, you want to stand on the one metal platform to the far right and throw your head in the middle hole to block the blocks from apearing. then when it hits the floor you jump across and get the key and drop down.

Day 401 of telling Tyler that he never finished his minecraft series and that he should finish it. I'm so tired lol

Why would saving the Earth be the good ending? Biased as always, I see.

I’m so mad that Tyler likes this game so much. I would give it 5/10 because it’s so bland. Play other puzzle platformers and you’ll know this isn’t anything special (Also if personally I’d rate it 3/10, but objectively I’m just gonna say it’s a 5/10)
