Hook 2 giveaway in my Discord, and I'll be hanging out in general chat and answering viewer questions for an hour or so: discord.gg/aliensrock

The new Hook 3 is going to be dealing with four dimensions, believe me

Just like everyone else, I've definitely watched this amazing and nostalgic video on a sequel to an incredible game that I played ok abcya back in 2015

I didn't even know there was a Hook 2 lmao, also I'm too lazy to verify my phone number but I hope the winner enjoys the game :) and honestly, sometimes the reason people "don't have" a $3 or $5 game is because they need to ask parents, like I used to have to do, lol

I'd love to see you take on workshop puzzles in Opus Magnum! There are a lot of cool concepts that the community has discovered that isn't used in the main game, like making triple bonds between non-fire atoms.

Man, I hope we get regular "Hey guys, Tyler here, I'm playing (game) while I talk about things" videos. I say once or twice a month sounds pretty good, but it really depends on when things are happening.

this video has really good vibes, and really emphasizes how you tend to be the better reason to watch your videos than the games.

I'm absolutely interested in more Opus Magnum, and other "programmy" puzzle games. I adore puzzle games that don't have a set solution, where the game gives you a bunch of parts and says "if it works its correct". Puzzle games where creativity and problem solving go hand in hand.

If you don't do a full Opus Magnum series, it would still be really cool to see your optimized solutions to the Opus Magnum puzzles, especially the lategame puzzles.

3:05 I never heard of opus magnum before, but it was still rather easy to understand.

Tyler-"So it's not in a 3D space" Also Tyler-"Oh it's a 3D space"

The thing I like about Zachtronic's style of games is that not only are they a very distinct kind of problem driven puzzle games, where you create a solution (as opposed to most other puzzle games being solution driven and expecting you to find the one trick to solve a level,) but the fact that the distinct style of puzzles has spawned its own entire _genre_ of games, Zachlikes. A few that I've played and could recommend in the genre are Neon Noodles, which is about programming cooking robots; The Signal State, which is about cable management and analogue programming; and Prime Mover, which is a game about manipulating numbers using a custom circuit system.

I loved the first game, can’t wait to see the second one

I really look forward to some Opus Magnum and Hook 2 gameplay.

if you like programming puzzle games, you might enjoy A=B, it's a "programming language with only one instruction" and it's from the same dev that made Understand

Glad your recovering. Can't wait to see more opis magnum!

Incredible video, definitely watched all of it

Loved this video I wish you would do videos like this more often. Hope you feel better

This video showed me how calming Tyler's voice can be when paired with simple & satisfying visuals.

Just enjoying the comfy vibes. Take care Tyler!

I like these little "Chill - chattin' with Tyler" type of videos

Hope you feel better soon, man!

it sucks when u dont upload but dont pressure youeself into making videos u dont want whats what this channel is about chilling half the time i fall asleep to you videos and finish/re-watch them later keep up the great work man

I love this video 😃😃😃😃 it really felt like one of those more obscure talking to viewer videos they content creators keep unlisted and just link to on their discord and stuff

Glad you’re doing better :) we’ll be waiting patiently anyway

this seems like a fun puzzle game, and a interesting mechanic for the puzzles at that.

Loved your vid on Opus Magnum. I bought it and I'm having a blast please do more soft programming puzzlers in the future.

Good on you for taking a break and doing a shorter video to test your voice. I love your videos but it makes me happy to know you are taking care of yourself.

You're asking us how we'd go watching 'programming' games... Mate, most of us watched you play Polybridge which is a very similar vein. I think we can safely say that we'd love to see more of that style!

I needed this tonight thanks Tyler

Hope you feel better soon!

Glad to hear you are doing well and are mostly recovered :)

Been a while since I've been to one of your videos, I'm excited to be back as the content is *always* amazing

"puzzle games and inferior games" Them's fightin' words, Tyler!

hope you feel better soon tyler

had covid recently myself, was really awful. hope you're doing better than I was

i never knew you had covid, im sorry to hear that - i hope you are recovering well - thank you for all the videos and work you do tyler - you make all of our days so much better, but please do focus on healing over content

thoughts on programming and programming games: YES i was a computer science major in college lol

I never got too into Zachtronics games, but it's kinda sad to see them go. Good to know that they're doing it because they want to, though!

i would love to see more opus magnum, one of my favorite vids in recent times

This is really calming

Tyler I feel you I'm actually right now sick I its not really affecting me that bad but it was pretty bad to start and I get that for someone people it didn't get better after a bit.

I can't be the only one seeing endless witness environmental puzzles here.

i literally downloaded this last night and now this video pops up today

Hope you feel better soon.

I'm curious if you've played Factorio. If not, it would be interesting to watch you do a blind playthrough. It's a factory building puzzle game. I think it has similar problem solving to Opus Magnum.

I really enjoyed this video and would love if you did these chatty videos more often 😊

One game I think you'd enjoy checking out is All Roads Quiet. It's basically a more realistic version of mini motor ways made by a former valve dev.

Is it just me, or is his voice oddly soothing

dam those clicks and dings make me feel hungry

most of the time i watch your vid right before i sleep

oh id love to see more videos on zachtronics/opus magnum/last call BBS. they're some of my favorite games and it'd be interesting seeing how you approach them

Hey there, wanted to recommend two cool puzzle games that would fit well while you recover : First one is GNOG, cute relaxed puzzles with amazing sound design and pretty short, would probably fit in a single video Second is Quadrilateral Cowboy, a semi casual puzzle game based on typing commands to manipulate the environment, about 3-4h of playtime As a bonus, you could also check Cardinal Chains, though it is about as simple as Hook 2, might not make for the most interesting content and gameplay

take all the time you need to get better id rather see you healthy then see a vid by you everyday!

get better soon, Tyler. :)

I played the first game on cool math games back in middle school. Such good memories

there's this old game I played years ago called Keepsake that was some sort of puzzle game that you might enjoy. I know past me got real frustrated with it, but to be fair to past me I was like 14 lmao

I just realized this is the title for the new video of aliens rock 2 😂

We've been WAITING for more dicey dungeons, WHEN IS IT COMING?!?!

Have you ever tried Antichamber? It's really good and i would love to see your walkthrought of it

Absolutely would enjoy some programming games

I probably won’t watch Last Call, just because I don’t want to spoil myself lol, but I’d be very happy to see other Zachtronics games on the channel

in the video you mentioned you played the prequel to this game, did you make a video on it? if so, I cannot seem to find it.

Programming is probably the single most painful thing I have ever done. I love it

3:37 I usually dont know whats going on in your videos, but I remain engaged. So keep to that side of things.

I'd so love to see you play griftlands again. Loved that vid and would love to see you try the other characters

I REMEMBER THIS GAME

Hope you get better 🙏

4:18 holy fuck talk about whiplash

I actually love this

This hurts my head It's so simple yet so complicated

Nice chill game. :D

Just bought and played stephens sausage roll, and i wanted to see if you ended up finishing on your own time.I personally was amazed by it, but curious for your review.

That style of puzzle game (zectronics') look to be a nice game to play on stream. It's a slower time of video

You should try into the breach! It is a fun puzzle/tactics game and has new content coming out soon!

Have you ever played, "I expect you to die?" It's a pretty easy puzzle game for what you're used to but it is just hilarious. I would highly recommend you check it out.

This reminds me of a very similar game called Zenge, similar in both gameplay and casual-ality

Btw have you played the colour series? (games named yellow, blue, red, black)

yeah. I didn't know opus, but it finally got me to buy it. been on my list for a while due to it being zachtronics idk if their other games (TIS-100 & Shenzen IO) would even work on youtube

Not surprised you went to school for programming. It feels a lot like puzzle solving

On the subject of more complex puzzle games, will we ever see more baba?

This feels like the game in the mobile game ads

4:46 "is a good place to talk about puzzle games and inferior games" haha, burn!

I'd definitely be interested in programming games. On the topic of Zachtronics games, you might want to look at Exapunks. I haven't played much of it, but they style in that game is off the charts, even for a Zachtronics games. For example, one of the characters, in the game, publishes a zine that has important information in it, so they created a real issue of a zine that you can print out that also has that information.

I would really like to see you continue dicey dungeons But I’m also interested in an opus Magnum series!

Have you played Silicon Zeroes? I think it might be right up your alley.

i remember playing the first one on cool math... :')

Seems like a very very simplified version of the game Unpuzzle

Oh this game is basically those Garden thing mobile ad game.

Hope you get better

Someone has to remember playing this on coolmath

What is the title of the video from, it’s a reference to something right. I’ve heard it before somewhere

As much as I enjoy puzzle games, the more complex and diverse ones take so much longer to come out compared to other genres. It kinda drives me away from following the latest news about them since I could be waiting a long time for a new game that sounds interesting. But at least there's a backlog of older puzzle games to go through, though

gotta download

YES I love Hook and Hook 2!

Yo, Tyler! If you want to try out another simple (but short) puzzle game, search for "Raster Prime". I'd call it a very unique game. Not sure how well it would translate into a video, but i'll leave that to you to decide :D

I'd love to see an Osu player speedrun this

This reminds me a lot of Unpuzzle.

Amazing released 33 Seconds ago and I've already watched it.

take care, rest well
