Heya, devs of the game here. Thanks so much for trying the GUG demo! Folks, make sure to subscribe to AK's channel, it's a huge honour to be featured on it :)
You lost your healer when you placed the destructaron (the bomb gug). Your healer and the bomb boy were in the corners,and it seems that the game counts that as "adjecent",so yeah... The bomb boy nuked your healer from the corner.
Interesting... in my mind, those are the two furthest positions from one another. Haha. Thanks for looking into that my friend, it's good knowledge to know! Cheers!
Wow, the whole transcending feature is so cool! The fact you can write out any word, and it will give an effect to your Gug is awesome! What a unique game! The possibilities of gugs is huge! I’m curious what words do what! Great job playing and show casing this game! You’re da man!
@@syafranmuflih7139 It's definitely something in the future plans my man. Let me ask you this, despite the font on the thumbnail, did you enjoy the video? That's what's most important to me. Let me know and thanks for viewing.
Some keywords I'm going to try out: Immortal Indestructable Team Trainer Dark Summoner Multi Team Heal Edit: Immortal (Great effect: On death revive it with improved stats ; somehow it died in combat the first time it hit 0 health) Indestructable (Does not have a good effect.) Team Trainer (Solid. Turn start allied gugs gain +1 strenght and +1 health) Dark Summoner (My favorite. Summoned as much shadow minions as there were enemy gugs. Great for stalling and money farming.) Multi Team Heal (decent healing effect. Somehow was fried by an enemy and it's stats went through the roof.) Other OP keywords I used: God Omnipotent (Enter the battlefield: Gain three random traits) Enchanter
Excellent research! Thanks for providing your keywords and findings. Seems you stumbled across a few very powerful ones. I think I got pretty lucky with my very first one being 'Area Heal' that particular one was a cheat code, I could see it pairing very well with the Team Trainer one you tried in your comment. Cool stuff, it's definitely the fun part about this game, trying all kinds of different phrases! Thanks for checking out the video!
Played around with it a little bit and some effect are outright weird, because they don't effect the game in any way. Like roll around the battlefield. It's just a nothing effect, because nothing happens. No switching positions, just nothing. Happened quite a few times. But on the other hand sometimes something happens and I had no clue what it meant. My Gug got fried, so it lost its ability, but somehow his and his allies health went through the roof and I don't know why and can only speculate. Maybe it's because my healer got fried and frying triggered its ability multiple times before being overwritten by the frying effect. But I can only guess.
The full release in slated for Q1 of 2025, I wonder what changes/improvements/implementations will be added to the game! Thanks for checking out the video, this one is truly unique!! Cheers!!
I definitely found myself getting a bit confused by some of the effects too and I agree, it does seem that there are abilities that, although have a description of doing something, are complete non-value added.
The game can definitely get very broken... xD And I kinda hope that doesn't change tbh. In a game where the point of it is to be absolutely limitless, why would you want to hold yourself back? Last round I played, one of the enemy gugs had an ability that just doubled the stat points of every gug on the field. And by the time I finished that run, my whole team literally had infinite health and damage. It was AWESOME!
I think your Destructaron killed your area heal guy. I have a feeling the battlefield wraps around so the leftmost position is "adjacent" to the right most. Also, Destrctaron's effect occurs when it enters battle (hence "This enter battle"), meaning when you move it from the back row to the front row. Once it's in the front row, moving something else next to it won't destroy it.
Thanks for looking into this my friend, another commenter mentioned that this is indeed the case. The leftmost position is considered 'adjacent' to the rightmost position, I didn't know that of course. haha. So that's what happened to my beast healer GUG. It's good knowledge to learn for a future run for sure! Thanks for checking out the video!
That's an interesting game with a cool twist. I was thinking it'd be cool to try like "acid spitter" or " face melter." That area heal guy is really tough to beat though. Can't wait to see what the full release looks like.
Great idea man! Maybe go with a damage over time deck. The possibilities are literally endless and that's what I love about the game! The 'area heal' was quite a blessing to just randomly stumble into... insanely strong! It's definitely one to keep an eye on! Thanks for checking out the video, I appreciate you!
Definitely interested in the full extent of the word based transcendence mechanic. Watching again, your healer looks like it just disappears while rearranging your guys. Unless that destroy mechanic wraps all the way to the other side before your even hit go, it looked almost like a bug that your healer disappeared.
Absolutely, that's certainly the most compelling part about this game! The possibilities are limited only by your vocabulary or presence of mind although... the results aren't always favorable to your team lol. One commenter pointed out that the leftmost position is considered 'adjacent' to the rightmost position and therefore, the destructoGUG destroyed my ace healer... I didn't know this lol. Thanks for checking out the video my friend, cheers!
Glad to hear I'm helping you through the work days my friend! Got plenty of content releasing all the time and I appreciate you being a part of the community! I have not tried Maze Keeper but will definitely check it out, thanks for the recommendation!
LOL, there are all kinds of strange sounds in this game but it fits the aesthetic quite well if you ask me. :D Thanks for checking out the video my friend!
Can you move a single gug to better passive slots? Like taking it from the far left and putting it on the +2 health or +2 power slots while your other gugs are fighting?
Hello friend, thanks for checking out the video. No you cannot actually, tried that when I was playing around with it before the video. Great question though!
Thanks for checking out the video my friend! I'm not sure what the full release plans are for the game, but I'm sure the devs will check out the comments and feedback on the game. It's slated to release in full Q1 of 2025 and this is just the demo, so we might see some differences! Thanks for checking out the video!!
I'm not sure but it would definitely be something to try out. like using 'direct damage' or 'flying' or 'unblockable' as your keyword. I wonder what the results would be?? That's the fun of this game for sure! Thanks for checking out the video! Cheers!!
That could be! Another commenter mentioned that destrucatron's effect when left/right-most in the formation actually affects the opposite left/right-most tile, which is something I wasn't anticipating! I would recommend against 'destroyer' as your word in general, it's a hard GUG to use!
@@AboboKnows Yes, you should pay attention to their triggers! Destructatron's "proc" was "when entering battle." So if you put him down first without any other gugs, your team would probably survive.
That's a great idea and a worthy question to explore. My guess is that yes it would because all of the GUGs you encounter and create go into that GUG encyclopedia where they're stored and using the same phrases nets you the same GUG. Great idea friend, thanks for checking out the video!
I must say that I experienced a few bugs prior to recording. I think some of the mechanics also require close reading to fully understand what will happen. Sometimes it's completely unpredictable as well lol. Part of the chaotic fun I suppose! This game is just in demo form and set to release in full in Q1 of 2025, I'm sure the dev team will clean this up prior to release. Thanks for checking out the video, subscribe for consistent content!
@AboboKnows very true. I won less though. And failed more due to the randomness and bugs. I think if it's bugless then it will be fair. But I wonder how much this game is balanced. The chaos makes it fun though.
@AboboKnows wait till you try defender. Hehe. Just wait. And mother Morula after you got defender working. Slime King rounds them off. Those 3 are god mode. Unless bugs.
Let me know what type of words/phrases you'd try and what type of GUG you think it would make! Thanks for viewing!! :D
I'd try 'nuke', 'Chuck Norris', 'invincible' or 'Mother Morula' for potentially broken Gugs.
try "Dao of Life and Death"
Rock Lee =)
GOD
Should’ve gone with all ‘aboboknows’ gugs 😂

Gnarly idea here! Thanks for playing!
You bet! This idea is super unique and I enjoyed my run through it. Try the free demo if you're interested and thanks for spending some time here!
An idea, buy a unique font dude. The unique gug is really contrast to the boring fonts. It feels so wrong

The possibilities may truly be endless :D cool game, thanks for this!
Only limited by your vocabulary or current presence of mind! :D
Destrucotron says that when it enters battle, it destroys adjacent ones, and I guess the far left and the far right slots are considered adjacent
This looks fun. I might check it out when it releases. Love the vids. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate that my man, thanks for your awesome support! Definitely one to keep an eye on, I too am excited and curious about the full release!
15:00 I'm assuming the healer was "adjacent" due to wrap around, and the nuker only pops on placement? Not sure
The art is very cool and the gameplay sounds intriguing. I wonder how far can you take the naming system.
In the wishlist you go.

Use Slime King. Use Mother Morula. Use Defender. Not in that order though. Defender. Then Mother. Then King.
I'm thinking about doing another run where I only use commenter suggestions, you have given me three. Thanks my friend. :D
@@AboboKnows Please and thank you
I would love to see you see these haha. They are quite potent. In the correct order.
Why does it sound like a kitten crying when the battle starts😂 keep thinking my kids cats crying

the sound track is what? Luma?
Not sure what the game soundtrack is but the ending track is original from yours truly :D Thanks for checking out the video!
Not saying it not a good idea but why did they not make it a build battle type map fighting game WHATEVER!

Does “direct damage” effects work on these guys? Like deal one damage directly to enemy or some MTG keywords like unblockable or flying or type thing?
I'm not sure but it would definitely be something to try out. like using 'direct damage' or 'flying' or 'unblockable' as your keyword. I wonder what the results would be?? That's the fun of this game for sure! Thanks for checking out the video! Cheers!!
@ I’ll try out the demo when I get a second and let you know if it works
@@A-Saturnalia Excellent, let me know for sure! Thanks my friend!
Yeah it looks like you need to place down destructatron first maybe to prevent the loss of minions
That could be! Another commenter mentioned that destrucatron's effect when left/right-most in the formation actually affects the opposite left/right-most tile, which is something I wasn't anticipating! I would recommend against 'destroyer' as your word in general, it's a hard GUG to use!

I wonder if you you can enter the enemy names to get them on your team

I think the game is super buggy. I also just randomly loose units. Strong ones. Then I loose. I love the game. It's just too buggy and random.
