I love seeing this game! New stuff will keep it from getting stale like I felt like it was

Entirely understandable. While there ARE many builds most just meld into the others. I hope for more effects from orbs/artifacts that give different gameplays.

Hey Tyler. Will we be seeing a return to potion craft. Anyways keep the content coming

I would say recombombulator should be chosen over the book because if a peg gets refreshed into a bomb and gets blown up the peg spot disappears

Fine tuning does exist, you just have to set "confirm throw" or something like that in the options

What is it

​@@sjsbfbshhs The Ouroorbos, or something like that. It has persist that increases as you upgrade it, and I think the damage increases per peg hit, and this damage up also persists.

@@pitrXane that actually sounds dope, thanks

@@pitrXane It doesn't increase per peg hit, It has a 50% damage from last shot buff, like echorb lvl 3, but upping its level increases its damage and number of persists

@@ragegaming1653 Ah! Thank you for the correction

yeah, like in peggle, they stay around quite a while

Also things like having the tops of the brick pegs slanted so the ball falls into the slide rather than away would do wonders for this game.

If they made the platform pegs less bouncy that might also help

This. The physics for this game seem brutally unforgiving, which isn't ideal when so much of the game is uncontrollable RNG. I went back to play Peggle after watching Tyler's previous video and immediately remembered why the game was so enjoyable - it's still not "easy" but the devs add plenty of functionality to keep you coming back

I think it is mostly the physics of the game rather than anything to do with the shape or behavior of the pegs. Like, in peggle when you fire at a rectangular peg, it's pretty easy to hit at a low enough angle so that the ball slides along the peg and does a poweslide rather than bouncing. Here though looking at it, it seems like even hitting slopes at the shallowest angle possible still causes it to bounce and miss pegs sometimes, and when it does slide properly the ball loses a ton of momentum to friction.

i mean, is autocorrect WRONG? you did desribe ben as being pretty sweet.

@@zap4th368 I think they meant the tribal type, lol

I was absolutely wondering why there were gaps that looked out of place, this makes a lot of sense

Except with insurance they do everything in their power to deny you.

The other relic was more along the lines of "Either I'll win faster or I was already doomed" which I think was the better choice, especially with that 4k damage shot.

The problem with insurance is you are paying MORE over time for the accident, and then after the accident, your insurance might get even more expensive. What you _should_ do is save money each day on your own, without involving companies that need to make a profit off of you

yea

I hope it gets changed though because being able to swiss-cheese your board permanently is kind of bullshit design.

@@omegahaxors3306 I agree they should probably make it so the bombs refresh into pegs, but maybe they'd need to nerf it in other ways to compensate because it performed quite well here.

@@omegahaxors3306 While it feels bad, remember that a peg refreshing into a bomb generally turns it into a 35 damage peg basically. If you get enough refreshes that it swiss cheeses your board, you either... A. Have recombobulator reducing the damage of your bombs another 15, but in trade are making those refreshes turn your bombs into a renewable resource, or... B. Have had such a long fight by this point that the fight should be almost over from all the bomb damage you've dealt, and a swiss'd board won't really hurt you much.

if he took recombombulator he would have probably died on the last fight

I agree if you have the alchemists cookbook your pegs run out on longer rights. While you end up with less chance to scale by powering up pegs all bombs would be 20dmg and would refresh once per turn. In the end most of his pegs were around 4-8 dmg. So it would have been a huge upgrade getting those bombs to refresh. Also if your ball is moving fast enough it can't be sucked in by black holes. Bombs help keep the ball moving fast.

@@drunkshinx960 Def not died. He barely hit anything that would've hurt him

Yep I had a run where I was down to 3 total pegs left, and you always get one refresh, one crit, so there was a single peg of damage.

@@drunkshinx960 I disagree because if you have 50 bombs of 20 damage going off every round, it is going to do more damage than 75 bombs of 35 damage going off once. I respect your opinion however, and understand your point.

huh.

Honestly I'd like a relic that made it so for each question mark you could reroll it into any other question mark or even fight/miniboss

That's a good point but often you're deciding between a question mark or a fight (for the heal/orb/upgrade at the end). If events outcomes are worse than those fight rewards, then you never have a reason to visit events on purpose. IMO this could easily be solved by smarter map generation though.

that's just a circle with more steps

@@hatimzeineddine8723 more points actually

@@drunkshinx960 Don't balls have more points? "That's just a circle with less points"

@@polygontower Infinite points

afaik you dont get the heal for pegs hit on shots that go in the flames

@@eden3669 Oh, really? I thought that was him misreading the relic description. Either way, it mitigates fire damage, so no risk stops you from trying for good heals.

Assuming you mean click to aim, that sounds like a big sacrifice to get fine tuning to work. Even without it on, arrow keys only regular tune and it's much more of a hassle than mouse aiming.

@@Aliensrock yeah it's not nearly as good as Peggle or Roundgaurd. But it felt better than what was happening when I kept missing when the cursor was out of bounds. It is a hassle though.

Or maybe just add a DOT debuff to the enemies at a certain level

I have played the game and I agree - there need to be more opportunities to discard orbs. Maybe the Haglin update will do something with that. But at the same time, there are more than enough opportunities to *refuse* orbs.

@@ILubBLOfficial overkill should be a standard mechanic, maybe only 25% though

They also seem to really like the idea of aggressive trade offs because even the relics which are things that should be universally good often make your deck worse. Why do my bombs need to do 15 less damage for a microscopic chance to get an extra bomb each refresh. If not putting downsides on relics makes the game too easy make the fights harder not make the relics worse. Also the fact that so many relics are dependent on other relics to even function so the relic space not giving you a choice of relics makes the game over reliant on luck. You don't build a deck, chance does and you better hope it's good.

@@Valentine570 how is 7% microscopic? Hit 5 pegs, 1 in 3 chance you get a bomb. Now do 15 pegs, basically guaranteed a bomb Anything greater and you'd either run into dead boards or require recombobulator

Next time I'll be less of a coward! :D

I'm literally widened my eyes. The potential of cook book and recog is really... Explosive.

@@Mathtriqueur LOL, I see what you did there!

i feel like he would have died in the last fight if bombs refreshed

@@drunkshinx960 Maybe? But he went into the last battle with 120 HP, that's what, 30 red bombs, or a few less than that when taking the life loss from infernorbs into consideration? But there would have been so many more bombs tossed, the battle would have ended sooner, I don't think so, but I'm not gonna try to say you're definitely wrong.

He already played it

and speaking about the magnet i'm glad it was nerfed, it felt way too op every run with it I would win just automatically
