Blocking is actually sick in this game, it’s a super precise thing to deflect a bullet. You can also block the blast-zones to launch yourself

Next year you should definitely do this game with mods, there’s some super chaotic ones

I've had games in this where both me and my friends computers both almost crashed due to me having a combination of big explosions, getting stronger the longer the bullet is in the air, and 500000 bullets per shot

Totally cheering for Jo this video. He's my favorite side character.

Something I realize not many KZfaqrs playing this game know is that there is a setting in the game that turns the “a bunch more” and other words into exact percentage statistics so you actually know the worth of the card.

Btw the red circle was the ability that gave you +200% hp for 3 seconds after dealing damage. (Jo also taking healing field then proceeds to never use it lol.)

By the way, you can make custom characters, blocking on the edge makes you bounce off it, and get a mod that lets you go infinitely. That game is so great. MODDED GOES CRAAAAZY

I love how they both just fully committed to bullet speed, gaining absolutely nothing

Seeing Jo chose the worst cards in out of the options he gets hurts me. Excellent video 10/10

I really hope they experiment with this more next year, Shield bash+Echo or Grow+Drill are really fun and busted

I love how at 11:40 alpharad confirms he can't hit himself, just to hit himself 5 seconds later and not notice it

You know what else is an S tier game?... No really, I'm curious to hear about more S tier games. Unfortunately Naughty Bear for the xbox360 and ps3 is not on that tier.

What I really love about this game is that synergies between cards act exactly as I expect them to.

Rounds is genuinely such a good game, i wish there were more multiplayer "roguelikes" like it

I love watching Smii7y and friends play this and the chaos ensures its great to see Alpha and Jo finally playing it!

literally dying as jacob consults more bullet bounces then picks explosive bullets instead while having grow and mayhem (for those who haven't played rounds grow plus mayhem plus more bullet bounces explodes your computer and is very funny)

I really hope they play this in the free time. It's really fun 1v1 game. Also I really hope they learn how to block. The round where Jo had healing and never used it once hurt to watch

I've seen alot of rounds content and played too and I have to say I am very happy to see more people playing and really wish they'd have blocked, It's like half the game and you can make builds surrounding blocking and they almost never even touched the button lol

jo's sheer dedication to not reading a single thing is fascinating

Been playing a lot of modded rounds and it is a blast. 1:10 I feel called out. 31:34 this game isn’t really that much of a sleeper gem lol, it has a pretty big modding community around it.

“So this game is like stickfig-“ “That’s all I needed to hear I’m interested.”

blocks are a big part of the movement in rounds as if you block when you hit the edge of the screen you don't get damaged and get a bounce.

The game goes crazy and blocking builds can be insane. Also there's mods where you can continue games after winning to have like 20 abilities not to mention the tons of mods adding new abilities.

this is one of my favorite games, and with mods that can let you even pick two powers per lost, it can get crazyyy

One of my fav games, so happy you found it, can’t wait till you try mods!!

Love this game, it’s so much fun to both play and watch friends play!

this felt like one of those mobile ads where they pick the most incorrect option possible ykwim ? 11/10 video

I love when every card works out perfectly

Blocking is ybe best thing about this game. You can stun-lock your opponents with quite a few different ways, and spam different projectiles.

I often play stickfight, rounds and spiderheck with a friend whenever he comes over. Rounds is my favourite of the bunch, the card combo's can be insanely overpowered if luck is on your side.

I saw this game on PlayFrame, and have been eagerly awaiting the day when more KZfaqrs discover it (or alternatively, the day when I get friends to play it myself)

"I am talking a lot of shit for somebody that just lost." - The self-awareness is off the charts.

This game looks awesome! Definitely going to try it out sometime. Gold has shown me so many new games that I’ve saved to try in the future

If you’re running out of games, there’s like 14 main Touhou games on Windows and they all have free demos

I love that Jo couldn’t win until he actually started shooting his gun

Ohhhh, Jo chose the red character because the color is rouge-like.

Please play this game more, it’s amazing

Jacob getting upset at Jo for not picking Demonic Pact when he himself kept picking "more HP" at every opportunity over any of the interesting upgrades 🗿🗿🗿

I can give you some tipps for this game. Rounds is kinda like a meta game. You need to manipulate, surprise, predict and counter your opponent's moves. You need to make your deck and playstyle counter your opponent's deck and playstyle. For me it is really simple but hat's because it's really simple. It improves your playing level a lot but this game has a high skill ceiling. You need to practice to become good but it's not that hard I think. If you want me to elaborate I might do like a video and/or just do a reply. Edit: I forgot to mention that I have a really offensive playstyle. *Also very important: Look at all cards before choosing.* It makes it a lot more likely to get cards go a lot higher. *You should definitely do a Rounds tournament. It'd make for a great video.* You can open the hat using enter. This game is also about creativity, deckbuilding and strategy. This game is very very simple but has a lot of depth. Like the controls of *Celeste*. [I couldn't find the timestamp. Kt's getting late. I am going to bed.] Quick Reload is the Card to fix your Reload when your Reload is like 1,5 Seconds. 11:42 He barely missed himself. *If you like these games you should look at spiderheck.*

this game has upgrades??? I honestly thought it was just stick fight but with circles Nah this game looks hype actually I like the sound design on the guns and bullets. damn even the poison sound effect is so satisfying life-steal for the win

I absolutely love Rounds and I am so glad you guys played this!!!

You should definitely do a Rounds tournament. It'd be sick.

Grow is funny when you get it multiple times.

If mods count as a separate game you gotta mod this to go for longer but be sure to put a flashing lights warning

I had to double take when Jacob hit himself immediately after "confirming" that it doesn't do self damage. And then not reacting.

Glad you found rounds its great and some combos are bonkers

Another competitive rogue like/dungeon crawler is called "Crawl", 1 person is the hero and the other 3 are all ghosts/monsters

I understand reading block and thinking it would be lame but the timing for it is so tight that it’s like a parry, a good block is so hype

I've been waiting for this one, excited to watch!

Rounds goes so hard I love it

Never thought I'd see Rounds content on Alpharad Gold or any Alpharad affiliated channel.

Modded round limit with new cards and maps with friends and not stopping until the game is unplayable is this games absolute peak

Kirby’s air ride is the REAL competitive rougelike

Jo be like, "My gun sucks!" My brother in Christ, you made the gun.

absolutely outstanding video as usual I will watch it in a minute

I was gushing the entire video. My favorite youtubers playing one of my favorite games. If you guys decide to play it again, there are some extremely funny mods for the game on thunderstore mod launcher, including one that makes it to where more than 2 players can join.

I'm actually really into how you can effect the environment with your shots.

I want them to count rounds unbound (The modded version of this game) as a seprate game and play again

YESSSSSSS. I LOVE THIS GAME. I PLAY IT WITH MY FRIENDS MODDED. if you play modded its technically Rounds UNBOUND so its a different game. also keyboard and mouse is so much easier reccomended mods to do is RoundsWithFriends (allows for you to keep going forever (tbh i forget if you can do that in vanilla if you hit no) and it allows for more than 2 players to play)

YES THEY FINALLY PLAYED IT!!!!! I will say the game is much, much better on mouse and keyboard, and also I'm really hopeful that they realize right click is block as well.

"reminds me of stick fight" does he know

It feels like September has been the Steam Cleaning arc

Now imagine if modded Rounds made it to the main Alpharad video with the extra cards, continue rounds, and 4 player mods.

This is made by the same guys who made stick-fight btw

I just love how this game escalates. I recoment using the block here and there, tho. Not because blocking is fun but because the abilities and combos get much better.

That last upgrade for jo was crazy

i've never seen this game before, this unironically looks fuckin amazing. wow.

all I want in life is for alpharad gold to play naughty bear

I hope next year they play with mods. This game gets hard after 10 rounds

THIS GAME IS SO GODDAMN FUN

ive had rounds for so long and its one of my favorite games

OH MY GOSH IT'S FINALLY ROUNDS!!!!! I stopped requesting this game because I thought I was being annoying, so glad they happened upon it!

Took them long enough to discover Rounds.

And like I was screaming when you (or someone else I don't remember), you can change the match settings so the game goes longer and you can have some massively stacked builds

tip for next year: you can block when you hit the bottom/sides of the screen and it bounces u super far

I'm surprised alpha is only just playing this, but im glad he played. But him not understanding that a SHOTGUN can't be used from range infuriated me

Sooo when’s the all leaf transition video called “Oops, All Leaf transitions!”

Someone finally takes scavenger and uses it right.

You found a competitive *Rougelike?* Like, something that's similar to red?

23:20 yoooo chase looks hype af! 24:31 lol

I'm really hoping the last video of this year is more online wholesome doubles

KZfaq told me to rate this video, I told them it was 5★ and life changing experience

Oh wow I didn't know they had the bat character from sonic in this game!

Roguelike Stick Fight, this is hype

HOLY SHIT THEY PLAYED ROUNDS OHHH ITS HAPPENING As a rounds og, I can confirm this game is in fact, fun. Also poison op, trickster op, and target bounce op (in the right hands)

LET'S FUCKING GO I ASKED FOR THIS ONE THIS GAME IS GOATED

Y’all really seem to like games with guns and cards that can make you overpowered, so I recommend friends va friends

This game is so sick. If you block and jump into the void you get launched away without taking damage. Also, if you mod it you can just keep playing for dozens of rounds and the builds get absurd.

This game is so much fun, can’t wait until they dip into the chaos known as mods 💀

Day 42 of asking Alpharad Gold to play the Endless Ocean games.

Me watching them think they understand what is happening, but they have no idea

This reminds me of episode one of rounds

Rounds was made by the same devs as Stickfight, Landfall games, who also made T.A.B.S. I'd love to see you both Vs. eachother in T.A.B.S or just fuck around in sandbox.

holy shit alpharad discovering rounds with friends this is awesome

rounds is fun, also very hard with a controller

idk if i'm gonna make it through this whole video because i'm not even 4 minutes in and jo has already gotten a sick upgrade, not used it, and then complained about a problem that he already solved by picking that upgrade

If only you could play this game again. Modded Rounds goes really hard.

was gonna podcast this one but the game was too good and I got invested

btw block builds are the most fun ones i love the air dash one

joe complaining about bullet speed when he literally had a wind up shotgun
