Was I alone in thinking that the introduction of the queen is a massive power spike? Even if so, I think I've cracked the code to get over that hump, more coming soon.

That was an unbelievable game, such synergy, and despite the wall of danger pawns, you deleted it like it was nothing.

5-7 range covers the entire board vertically, and the 11° angle made a really neat sniper build using 2 turns instead of 3 turns every cycle. (1 to shoot, 1 to reload vs 1 to change to sniper, 1 to shoot, 1 to reload) Your only weakness was corners really.

you should do a challenge where you can’t see the enemy upgrades when picking them, it’d be fun to see you accidentally pick the dumbest counter-syngergies by random chance.

"thank you for not being Stockfish" I'm DEAD, tyler. Absolute perfection.

The pawns blocked the rook, bushop and queens way, while being unable to touch yiu themselves. Knights the only other unit gave you an extra turn. Excellent run.

For the record, the pieces' hitboxes span the entire tile they're on, from what I've been experiencing.

If you can pick the red book, then get it. It has a special interaction if you beat floor 12 while a bishop is still alive.

Wow! Given the video's length, I thought this was gonna be a death in the midgame (maybe another unexpected blunder like the grenade), but instead it was just a king bumrush decimation, what a crazy run!

can't wait to see Tyler do the secret boss, it's so sick and it's very difficult

14:06 missed opportunity to call it "Great pawn of China"

After a full mobility run that speeds across the board, we get a sniper build that demolishes without a single step

Saw this series and started watching it as a joke to waste time one day, now I love it and the only things that surpass it on the channel are Turmoil, Slay the Spire, and Monster Train.

I just want to share that rightful curtsy is pretty good despite what Tyler says. The knockback chance adds up rather than multiplying, so double curtsy is insanely strong. With moat you can keep pushing pieces behind the moat, holding your position. I'm pretty sure the only piece that can kill you when knocked is the knight, when shooting diagonally if it's right beside you. Queens, rooks and bishops can only kill you if you were in check already. I've already beaten the hardest difficulty and I've done some speedruns with moderate success. 1:42.01 (edit: updated time, that's a really strong run I just got, wanted to share it) on normal mode and 2:57.10 (edit: updated time, just had a good run) on hard mode. It's hard to consider the other two "speedruns", but my time on very hard is 7:53.81 and 11:27.13 on king mode. The top runner is insane though, she's actually cracked. Best of luck to Tyler! Make sure to give some of the "worse" upgrades a chance. I highly recommend loafers (strafe mode), specially in combination with other movement upgrades. I also found my favourite build recently, where you get sacred crown and censer with blunderbuss and you just soul into melee range of any piece, blow them up and repeat. Speedrunning this game has a great feel to it, specially with the extra comodity of the in-game clock.

“He’s standing there… MENACINGLY!!!”

Perfect vids to watch after a day of hard work, keep it up man!

August Presence, usually a mildly decent skill that has not much going for it except maybe High Focus, became insanely overpowered when the white board became heavily Pawn-based. A perfect reiteration of Avengers' "We have an army. I have T-pose to assert dominance and You! Shall Not! *Pass*!"

I was really loving the peglin/backpack hero series running back to back, i could absolutely watch more mini motorways, and this game has started to definitely grow on me. long time fan recently returning, i love your content, the way you play games, and we have a very similar taste in games so youre always playing something interesting to watch. Edit: and your fucking consistency is fantastic. take a break if you need to. i love relaxing after work with your videos.

The pawns helped you so much. Higher pieces are basically useless with 534153 pawns blocking their movements. August presence was just the cherry on top.

I just imagine Tyler doing his intro 15 times in a row and just losing 2 minutes afterwards lol

You can kill the enemy king, even if you're in check. You win if it dies.

F for the pawn that jumped infront of the boss at the end. He could've lived.

"MISTAH PRESIDENT" - the last pawn jumping to save omega-king not knowing he failed

3:51 - “sun zu” art of war

Small fry harvest is just so strong. Especially in combination with lots of damage, such as firepower or grenades, you can just clean up a board without ever needing to generate ammo

Mom: we have engraved scope at home Engraved scope at home: crow blessing + high focus x2

Someone else mentioned this on another one of your videos, but it's quite awesome how this game has such a silly premise but is actually a ton of fun and has a lot of strategy to it. Also, so close to 500k! Awesome to see your channel grow!

13:59 Great wall of pawn china is now the sentence of the month

holy that was fire bro really stood still and won

Almost 500k on YT!!! Love the vids

Max blunderbuss when you can, become a gun god of destruction

11:06 Thank you for not being a Stockfish WHEEZE

"Thanks for not being stockfish." Here's a man who really knows his chess.

I was looking forward to this, hope you keep the series going tyler.

the white king after the black king turns his shotgun into a 50mm caliber sniper rifle:

This was a really cool run

Love this series

Those lines one your hand called fingerprints are where the 3d printer’s layer height messed up

"But getting shot is funnier" -Aliensrock 2022

Not even a shotgun king anymore, that's a sniper king

"100 rated chess, but you have a shotty."

the pawns have spears, or can have spears, terrifying

The extra pawns feel like they turn into an advantage at a certain point, because they block the enemy pieces from moving.

Damn, that was a powerful build.

"getting shot is funnier" -Aliensrock 2022

Hello, Tyler Have you ever heard of a game series called Rusty Lake? It’s similar to The Room series, except is a bit more… “horror?” oriented It consists of pretty interesting and somewhat difficult puzzles

Cant get enough of your videos

Words of Tyler: " Great Wall of Pawn China"

Finally managed to catch a chess but American episode early

Pawns become useless in diagonal directions.

Time to pwn some pawns

That was a pretty satisfying run

'but getting shot is funnier' aliensrock 2022

The only funnier thing with pawn army is spamming the grenades with the upgrade that gives ammo on killing pawns. It does exactly 3 damage and the pawns have 3 HP. Each grenade would get something like 6 pawns

They should add this to cool math games

Great run!

this chad just beat the final boss without moving

That was epic!

I'm hyped for the king difficulty attempts! Maybe you could have a video (or 2) of all the fails/entertaining fails then have a separate video for the win. whatever you plan to do I'm sure it will be great like all your other videos!

Ya know, winnig the last boss gave me an idea, I'm probably not alone with this idea... a no move run

This video put my like in check.

3:41 missed opportunity of a deez knights joke

You basicly became a sentry

Tyler, there is a Secret ending that requires you to have the red book and one Bishop left after you kill the finał boss. Good Luck!

Augustus presence combined with either pawn army or high focus is op but the three together

seams like all those pawns screwed them

Game: Hard mode Tyler: yeah, for them Game: 😳

Yesterday I pulled off a fantastic combo in "king" difficulty: with grenades, zillions of pawns and the ability to generate 1 ammo per pawn killed, I was able to wipe the entire screen throwing grenades from across the board. It was celestial. At the end I got moat too xDd

The great wall of pawn china 😂

With all that reload, a second barrel would be an amazing synergy, basically constantly having ammo

I love these vids play more of this game!!!!

The great wall of Pawns worked against them, the better pieces could reach you XD

Sniper is a good job mate!

"I need more power"

woulda been hilarious if shotgun king with the royal shotgun fights doomguy with the super shotgun

the red book makes you fight a secret finall boss if you leave 1 bishop alive after killing the finall boss

I wonder if he would do this idea. You have the mind set of the whites, pick the upgrades that would benefit the whites then play as the black king with the semi-random upgrade you obtained. This would make any difficulty feel like an uphill battle.

I think you'd love card theif

This game is what happens when you take the Great Wall of China and sell it to a pawn shop.

The Pawn build

Da great wall of pawn china

The new sniper build after they nerfed the old one. Though it needs more luck to get the right cards

Try the secret boss the black bishop, you need the red book in the final battle and kill the mega king with 1 bishop alive

ANOTHER SHOTGUN KING WOOOO

"Gret wal of pawn china"

I found this episode to be much more entertaining in the early game instead of just late game like the previous episodes tbh. I know its a bit luck based on what the build can be but I still enjoyed this episode a lot.

Great run, but should have tried to use the downpour wand to get the final hit on the boss.

like i said its impsible to knockback someone into check without already being in check by said peice only thing bad about it is that you get a worse shot at them

There is a secret boss involving a bishop and its buffs on the final boss fight

The description though.

Doing this with bloodless cou would be a challenge.

imagine a sniper build without the sniper scope

I just beat very hard today, it was insane, I owe the win to moat, strafe shot, and three loaded shots by the end.

Do you think on doing the secret boss? PRESS DOWN IF YOU WANT TO SEE HOW TO DO IT (SPOILERS) 1º: Select throme mode (any difficulty) 2º: During the game, get the red book (ads a bishop + they can now move [not attack] in a large cross [Sort of a queen but cant attack on left, right, up, down]) 3º: On floor 12 [Giant King], defeat the king but keep a bishop alive] 4º: Now the fight has started, enjoy

I hope to see rightful curtsey and the moat together some time

do you plan on doing the black bishop ending? It would be fun to see you try it

One idea, you can put together a few of your losses together to make a video, so long as each one can be interesting and unique

Wouldnt mind another nova drift upload

imagine if cornered despot

You know, I hadn't watched footage of this game before because I didn't have the energy to devote to another roguelite/like (side note, check out warm snow if you haven't already) but I think I like this one lol.
