At a certain point, it went from 'defeat the final boss' to 'you ARE the final boss' and I kind of love that for you. You even have combat phases for your opponents to survive. Incredible.
Many years ago I coined the term "Soviet Boss Fight" to describe those situations... as in the old bit by the comedian Yakov Smirnoff "In Soviet Russia, Boss Fights You."
About 7:30: a circle’s radii are always perpindicular to the tangent line through them, so you don’t have to imagine the tangent line at all, rather you only need the line connecting the centers of the two balls, as that will automatically be perpendicular to the tangent between them.
I'm pretty sure everyone's brain interprets the perpendicular thing as just from 1 ball to the next. It also just makes sense if you imagine hitting something.
Don't both these explanations imply that the direction of the player ball's momentum is irrelevant? I'm pretty sure collision point is only part of the equation, not to mention spin (although idk if this game has spin coded in)
Scratch my last comment; it's occurred to me that this explanation is correct if and only if spin doesn't exist, and only for the second ball. It does work though.
When you got 70 kills before the round even started, I believe it happened because a bomb spawned on an enemy because there was no space, resulting in a chain reaction.

i live at 7:30 where hes like "construct a tangent line where the balls meet and the enemy will go perpendicular to that and your trajectory will reflect off of that line" caus honestly my geometrical self found that tip really helpful
Alternatively, find where the balls will be on impact, draw a line that passes through both of their centers, and that is the trajectory the ball will travel in. Draw a line perpendicular to that, which passes through the center of the cue ball, and that is the trajectory the cue ball will travel in after impact.
@@jasonc7620 I don't think the second sentence is right, since it doesn't take into account the angle at which the cue ball comes, which is used in determining the exit angle. I think a better idea is "don't care, shoot 150 bombs in a random direction, call it done"
@@thenumberpie314 good catch, I wasn't thinking correctly. Actually, if you take that perpendicular that I incorrectly said would be the cue ball's trajectory, and have that perpendicular line pass through the intersection of the two balls (essentially, the tangent that Tyler was talking about in the video), you can treat that line like a wall, and find the angle of incidence, which will match the angle of reflection, which then lets you find the cue ball's rebound trajectory.
@@thegamesquad5133 it does not, but most balls are the same weight in the game afaik, and in a real game of pool, I think all the balls are the same weight.
1) the reason some enemies got bigger was because they were hitting the healing items, similar to how they transformed when hitting the dice 2) i got to true endless on difficulty 10 and decided to go for either level 100 or the game crashing, whichever happened first. several times it got to the stage of "not responding", but it always pulled through. at level 100 i had hundreds of power ups, with my highest being over 150 of the "whoops" power, over 200 shots (i stopped buying anything in the shop around level 60, btw), i maxed out the gold at 9999999, and i had over 1.2 million % shot power i look forward to the inevitable rebalance
Over 1.2 MILLION shot power?! So, that is the normal shot power multiplied by 12000? And more.. god, how many enemies were there on the field at that point?
My theory on the balls that are slightly larger than others is from when they pick up a healing item, since enemies don't really have more than 1 hp, they just get bigger.
On the off chance that any dev is reading this: First off, good job, this game looks really fun! The multiple stacking items are cool and feeds the chaos, but I feel like having "Gain a random item" as a thing you can *always* buy takes away player agency. At the very least it should *show* the card for the random items you get so you don't have to scroll around trying to figure out what just happened. Probably more of an issue once endless is a thing, but making what you get clearer would be good. Bonus items you gain from duplicator and such should also show the cards for the bonus items, or at least say "+3 from Duplicators", "+2 from Trinity" and so on on the original card that was duplicated.
i think what happened at 48:16 was that Tyler spawned so many bombs and dealt so much damage that he effectively triggered an overflow error, thus causing the leftover bombs to instantly collide with the spawned enemies, and completely break the entire game. i'm just a guy who likes watching broken builds on youtube. i don't know what happened, i'm just guessing
At 6:53 - The reason the enemy died is because they stopped on a speed booster/teleport pad. When those re-activate for the next shot, any enemy sitting on one will be instantly killed. Probably done so to avoid glitches.
48:17 ahem……..KABOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!😂😂😂 To be honest the developers did saw this and said,you know what I am sick of making games. Let’s make the player become the final boss. We will add endless mode to them to literally create their own final boss, because I am tired at my work😂😂😂
It will go more wild, in endgame, there's 2 item called "magic fork" and "make it count", which make it absurbly broken in endless mode cause they give pernament item pick up, I reached a point of clean entire board of enemies with just 1 shot only
One thing this looks like it suffers from is that a good run like this will always end up with you getting every single item in large quantities. It doesn't look like there can be much difference between god runs, they'll all end up like this. (Especially with random items being so prevalent) However, it does take a while to reach this point, and there are interesting choices to make on the way there.
just found you a couple days ago! your editing style is unique, clean, concise, and just plain wonderful. I look up to dan as an editor and you as a creator.
with the nonchalant commentary, incredible power and assorting your attacks into "phases", I think you deserve the title of "Frieza of Puzzle Games" or something.
Not every time but it's very possible. After all though, endless is there FOR the wacky chaos sandbox machine. If you're looking for tight challenge, just start the next run. :D
Oh my god, Tyler's editors are insane, the fuckjg. Teeth reference. Im both ashamed that I recognized it and in awe that they were brace enough to reference that on youtube.
the Blackjack powerup seems easily abuseable, as it might work on bosses. That way, you could just straight-up eliminate the "kill this enemy last" mechanic

Hey tyler! A few years back you were sponsored to play a game called Nova Drift, and it's getting a 1.0 release real soon! Would highly recommend checking it out if you enjoyed the game, it got a *lot* of new content since you played, including a final boss in 1.0
@@thegamesquad5133i think that’s because it became a stream-only game (Tbh the format of the game is a lot better for streams). Anyway, as much as I want Tyler to play it, if you just want to see more nova drift gameplay, go to the channel Ultra C, they’ve done 2 nova drift videos every week since 2019
Endless mode added a lot to the game play. Games go from short 5-10 min things to 40+ minutes of lets see how long it takes me to kill everything in one shot.
Tyler was blinded and lining up a shot and I’m thinking where the heck is he aiming at that’s not gonna… and sinks it 😂 turns out he just had a different hole in mind.
I wonder what happens if you actually clear the room before picking your item. Will the item selection screens just stack as the game continues to play itself?
This game would be cool if the map got bigger or if the design of the map changed. Like if there was an L shape map, or a map with a ladder to a balcony area, or a map separate in two by a signualar bridge, etc.
Maybe marking a new mode where it’s run by 9 ball rules would make it harder. Have x number of enemies (like how it is now) but now they are numbered themselves instead of just being the boss which is now a 9 instead of an 8. But everything marked as a lower number than the next has to be killed first like the boss, so you take down three 1s before getting to four 2s, etc. just an idea incase the dev looks at these vids and the comments ig
