IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE INTRO SONG WAS NOT MADE BY DANNY BARANOWSKY, BUT THE REST OF THE SOUNDTRACK WAS. The song was created by a sister project of the band "machinae supremacy", hubnester industries. I also forgot to add the link to the actual game: cortex-command-community.github.io/ [The above information is barely researched, if at all. Don't trust me please.]

This is a war crime. Please do more.

I remember playing this game YEARS ago, feels...weird and nostalgic seeing it once more. Keep it up!

Never heard of the game before but knowing that shovels can be used as a kinetic weapon just makes me want to play it.

They just released a big update revamping all the sounds and it's SO GOOD

Been so long since I've seen anything about this forgotten little masterpiece. Great to see someone do a deep dive into how its weird mechanics work to make things like item bombs work. Little thing I can add though. The rocket mk2 is also very effective at doing this, although it takes a bit of skill with the movement. If you manage to flip the rocket upside down when slightly above the ground, you can drill into it like a bunker buster if you have enough mass. When you consider the increased weight capacity, this can sometimes be even more effective, since you can drill past any external defenses and hit with an even larger payload. But thats just my take on it, a bit less economical than drop crates.

bro made shovel grenades

let me introduce you to the crab bomb mister Mister Man. For only 150 gold less you destroy the enemy, your pc and your will to live.

Underrated skill put into these vids, enjoy the coverage of a foss game. They really don't get enough attention.

haha thats awesome! I also made my own kind of nuke but instead of objects its with crabs! about 100 or more per rocket it instantly destroys anything near it and if you order enough of them it can destroy anything alive in the map even my own brain lmao Im glad to see people are still enjoying the game!

man your content is very cool! keep doing this and you will get to the top percentage in no time

YEESSSS. I don’t think I’ve played this game in about 10 years or so, but I forgot the name. I’ve been searching for this game for so long. Thank you.

dude i love cortex command. i really liked the jokes in this video

Crabs are free, therefore crabs are the most cost effective weapon in the game.

great video!! i love cortex command

Claymores are great, as are blunderbusses, basically anything that uses random BS to deal loads of damage as a result of explosions. Really the only thing that doesn't seem to be properly physic-ed is that that the material disappears from existence when shoveled. Imagine adding all the debris from those shovels flinging things.

I have to try this, it looks completely nuts, thanks for the video

You should also do such videos about Rain World and Noita kind of games, keep up the good work!

Now you need to create a shovel accelerator, where it explodes across in a line

sounds very fun!

Very nice editing

I remember getting the game in the Humble Indie Bundle 3. Never really got it to work properly.

YT needs more Cortex Command

Ahhh how many times have me and my brother killed our pc with zip.bomb sized crab crates 😍

The flash issac soundtrack maker makes me know this is a banger. Time to finish the video

Fantastic bomb, more environmentally friendly and humane (laugh) than traditional crab bombs

good vid

Shovels are not enough. I was cleaning the area with crabs. During the tests of the increased charge of crab matter, all living things were destroyed. No one was saved by walls or thicknesses of earth and stone.

please do more

Crab bomb or bust. Melt your school's computer, and find out you lost at the speed of 40 seconds per frame!

got a video on crab bombs? I loved how those could either be a bomb, or just DELETE life on maps depending on how much *C R A B* you packed into a crate.

Yt just sent me the notification of the video haha. The game seems fun af, do you know if i need a good pc to run it? To give you a reference, mine can't run MC lol. Gret video btw, keep going 👍

Shovel bombs? That's Crab bomb heresy! Edit: Ok having seen it, this shovel bomb does result in less instant losses. Which is another strike against it! Buyt for real using the digging poiwer of the mto blast through concrete is pretty clever

Think you for letting me know this is a thing

You can replace shovels with crabs since they are free. This is better because you can take infinite amount of crabs for just 50 gold

version 6.0 is here

I used to do this with craps, but they changed it I think.

Also you can stuff the crate with crabs and kill everyone on map. How does it work? Have no idea, but it's funny

so... its an over sized fragmentation grenade?

Shovel like TF2 Market Gardener soldier tf2 (how did I not have a comment here either what)

Crabs are free bro.

Try crabs. hundreds of them.

i have no idea what this game is, i just know one thing: nail bomb goes BRRT

I wonder if this game will ever be anything more than a meme. Can't even climb ladders no matter how many crabs or shovels you airdrop onto the scene.

Kinda sad you leave out a mod community. It might be less present with only people that port old mods on open source version, but you can still find mods that add Star Wars, Warhammer 40k, Half-Life, Fallout and many more that add large amount of content.

Man be bragging and spitting praizes for the shovel bomb not knowing about the immesurable power of free CRAB NUKE. Destroys not only every living beeing on the map but also your computer. "Look sir, free crab".
