'Yeah I can make a Geneva Convention violation with a couple bubbles' has been living rent-free in my head for a while now because it's too true. I think of it every time I start wand crafting in the early game lol.
man. watching him talk about a god run reminds me of a dnd wizard quote, "the only difference between me and godhood is an eight hour rest" -lvl 9 wizard
"You are as skilled as my information lead me to believe. I must admit, I too have a passion for the arcane arts... even moreso than others of my kind. I am curious, however...what would happen if we turned the magic off?" [ANTIMAGIC FIELD] "Fascinating. It appears you cease to be a mighty wizard and become a fragile pointy-eared monkey. While I? I am still a dragon." - Order of the Stick
I mean as a simple example, I'm on a run right now where I click on things (through walls? Sure, doesn't matter) and they just die, meanwhile I'm effectively unkillable and have been amusing myself by tunneling randomly through the earth and finding areas and quests and bosses I never knew about. Only thing is I missed picking up a boss perk because it died somewhere offscreen and I never actually found the body, since I had to spend like 10 minutes playing tag with its minions that seem to be immune to most everything, swapping out spells while being shot until I found a combo that would work. Oh well, next time I guess.

You know you have too many hours in Noita when you recognize that the really complex wand example was a parallel world travel wand. Excellent video as always!
and the fact that there are some based on swapping with an animal, some using the new inner spell, some casting a projectile that casts another one back at you. the fact there are more completely different ways of doing the most insane thing is most mind boggling to me.
Oh my god at the beginning of the video I was like "woa this game looks cool" and then you pull out THE WHOLE MAP and my puny brain just exploded. When I first saw this game by myself before this video I thought it was just some kind of terraria with pixel physics simulation but holy moly I didn't know this game was that big
Oh sweet summer child!😂 There is the whole map. Yes, that's quite a bit more than the biomes you need to traverse. Then there are the parallel worlds, 512 to the east and 512 to the west. Oh, and this game also does New Game Plus.
Good to see more attention being paid to this under represented gem of a game! Also, 'Return to Monke' is my new name for homing stone wands. Another favorite of mine is Fireball Orbit + Triplicate Bolt. Put this on a high-rate wand and it become "Delete everything in front of me" very quickly.
That's one of my favorites also but I didn't want to talk about orbit spells because I wanted people to be surprised by the Dragon. Orbit + Triplicate Bolt has saved so many of my runs.
I love Noita because it's one of very few games that truly allows for the power progression you would expect from becoming an endgame character. In most games even the strongest player characters would still be blocked in by things like walls, locked doors, and invisible fences even if they can turn a room full of enemies into red sauce with one shot. But in Noita, respecting the terrain is more like a choice once you've got infinite black holes or lumidrills.
I think with this one, you were mere planck units away from embracing full sseth-ness. Which is neither good nor bad, as both paths are paths to greatness. Amazing video, Connor, truly.

@@umbra4540 I don't go to the skywork unless I have to. Hell is so much safer if I'm looking for high tier spells. Some counter play would be nice but then this wouldn't be Noita.
(Mild spoilers) The only “counterplay” I know of involves getting lucky with a fungal shift turning all polymorphine in the world into some other substance or by consuming the flesh of a polymorph mage (which is extremely tedious and ineffective if you want it to last for a long time)
There's so much I wanted to cover but felt it would be too overwhelming or complicated. I'm hoping I left enough surprises for people who decide to pick up the game.
After 500+ hours of Noita, I can confidently say I'm still a beginner 🤣 That was a really excellent video. The way you presented the Lava Lake really captured the self-paced reward (and pain) of exploring Noita's universe. To everyone else, there's still loads of moments like that to discover and experience.
It seemed like the perfect thing to fixate on since it really captured everything this game is about. And it's crazy how after so many hours there is still do much to discover. I'm still finding new stuff out all the time.
The first time I crossed the lava and saw the bridge, I was still spoiler-free. My first thought was "If I cross this bridge, I am 100% certain I will die. Welp. Guess I better find out WHY I die." Then I died.
your wit and humor is unrivaled. I wish I could watch your stuff for the first time again. Also the production quality and density of content is off the charts
My favorite thing about this video is watching it once, buying Noita, playing it, getting confused so you watch it again, play more Noita, squeeze out a win after 90 runs, eventually watching this video again, and STILL getting helpful info that you didn't understand before, and it gets funnier and every time you watch it too. Can't wait to get a god run then watch this again to relate better.
Only 90? Color me impressed. Still sub 20 "wins" with over 1k runs... and have only managed to get even slightly silly a few. Know I'm not "gud" but doesn't stop me from coming back
The video format is definetely a recipe for success. It gives deeper and deeper insights in to the game and just when you think it's done, there comes "but wait, there's more!" moment. Can see this really taking of if you manage to keep pulling of such quality content.
The only true extent of Noita being how much your computer can handle reminds me of a bit of Warhammer lore where Lord Kroak was firing so many spells out of his froggy ass that time started to stop as reality itself started to lag.
One of the best videos I've ever seen. Not just for Noita. Not just gaming videos. Videos. Period. Perfect pacing, amazing editing, and also huge respect for the "music used in video" in the description. Basically, perfect. I wonder if it's just a coincidence that both this and "Fear and Hunger" have Finnish devs... hmmmm...
Thank you! I so glad you liked it! I really had a blast writing the script for this. Also, yeah, I dunno what's going on with Finnish game devs but I don't ever want them to stop cooking.
Duuuuuude I literally just found your video on ONI yesterday. Absolutely loved it, despite never having actually played, watched all the rest of you videos, subbed the hell up, and got a little sad you can only post every few months. But you've already got another video out?? Oh how the stars have aligned today 🙏 keep up the good stuff man, take your time and stay grounded in your style
Thanks! Last year was a little rough between work and my appendix trying to kill me. I've been getting a lot better at writing scripts so hopefully it won't be SEVERAL MONTHS between vids. Also if you have any game suggestions I'd love to hear them!
This stuff is a *lot* of fun. I love when I'm lucky enough to be on the ground floor when someone's just getting started, and obviously has a ton of talent and drive. I saw your tease for Factorio coming up, and honestly, , I can't wait to see what you do next.
So criminally underrated, your method for making videos is really entertaining! You get into just the right amount of detail and make the entire video feel too short and just really fun to watch. I can't wait to see your next Worst Guide video, maybe another mind-melting game like factorio somewhere down the line? :D
This video is amazing, the part where you explained wands and highlighted the spells slots in the wand as it was happening was very well done! Hope many new people see this and experience the amazing things Noita has to offer.... (or buys it to ragequit after losing a god tun to poly🤣)
Thanks! I was really happy with how that part came out. Also, I've actually rage uninstalled the game 3 times because of poly deaths. It's part of the process 🥰
I hope this video gets picked up by the algorithm because it is BEAUTIFULLY MADE. Love the comedy, love the editing, pacing, explanation, familiarity with the game, etc etc etc. Your passion really shows and I hope you get what you deserve (many many views and subscribers) : )
After I saw how much HP you had when dying in the lava lake the first time, I had to commend your dedication to make a great video. That would probably take me about 2-4 hours on an average seed to get that much HP
Thank you! Also I'm pretty sure I've heard a few people call wand connoisseur squidward? Maybe he started it? No intention to steal a joke, I've been calling him that for a while now lol
Thank you so much for putting in an effort to make this really entertaining. There's so many super dry videos out there, good to have one that feels like it was made by a human being with emotions and humor.
Wow you earned my sub and then some. The writing of this Video Essay Review Guide Educational Shitpost(?) rivals LazyPurple's "How it feels to play..." series and has a familiar vibe of max0r's videos and I promise you that is one of the biggest compliments I can give to any single piece of media on this platform. There's an incredible understanding of pace on display and the editing is equally as impressive because it isn't "tame", it's still wild when it fits, but there's an incredible amount of patience and restraint demonstrated throughout the whole runtime. You could have gone full montage with the game clips and the whacky shenanigans but you reigned it in and that let Noita's more intense moments shine so much brighter when you decide to demonstrate how deranged it can get. Splitting the video into chapters that parallel the flowchart of [Discovering Noita] and putting spoiler warnings also does a lot for people only now finding out about the game and giving them fair warnings on how deep the game goes but still keeping up the pace by not lingering on the titles and warnings. I could gush more, but I'm at work so I'll wrap it up. In general I wish more reviews are made this way in the future, whether by you or other people, because even as someone familiar with Noita, this was a joy to watch and despite treading old ground it was entertaining throughout and I never felt compelled to just wander off and watch something else. 10/10
Thanks you so much! I've never heard of LazyPurple, I'll check them out. I wanted to give people a chance to bounce out if they wanted to stay partly unspoiled but I think I hit on some good writing structure along the way (lying to the audience lol). I'm really happy with the pace of editing in this I've as well, I think I've found my rhythm!
This video introduced me to Noita. Hundreds of hours later, I have a instantaneous and subconscious fear response to the color pink. 10/10, would die to a skill issue again.
Holy shit man this video just got recommended to me and ITS SO GOOD, your editing style, narration and everything is just amazing, rn i have watched all of your videos and im so confused on why you're not more popular on youtube. This is absolutely great and i'll start watching your streams from now on for sure.
Yeah, after being unable to get past the jungle floor for months now, I figured It'd be really implausible that I'd see any of the endgame stuff so I'd just spoil it and watch this. Never gonna see it anyway. I was almost correct. I was wrong thinking that it'd be implausible, instead, its absolutely and completely absurdly impossible. After seeing the size of that map and some of the other enemy types, I could probably easily put 100+ hours into this game without "beating" it, much less exploring everything I'd want to or making a build I liked. Well, I suppose it's good to know that I can just stop trying. It was almost a lot of fun while it lasted.
Aa a Swede that has visited Finland once, I can confidently say that this game was made to give non Scandinavians a small taste of Finland 12:54 DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE!?!!!?
"The learning curve is more of a learning cliff" is....yes. Also, "Since there's is only one way forward" was the kind of thing I told my friends when they picked up this game. On that note, gonna go ahead and watch all of your videos. Mwah
Hehe, a little lying is key to selling the Noita experience. Also, regarding immunity, even then it's only temporary, isn't it? I wasn't sure and I didn't wanna say anything "too false" so I just left it at that.
This was an amazing video and I love both the humor and the format. I just went back and watched all your other videos and I hope you keep making more, these are great.
@@connorconquers Oh damn, those are both ones I'm very much looking forward to (Factorio because I'm familiar with it, PoE because I know almost nothing about it but it seems really cool under the assumption that you have infinity time to play video games). On the Factorio front, are you familiar with DoshDoshington?
It's crazy cuz the first time you zoom the map out (I didn't even show all of it) you're like, "wow this game is crazy!" And then the game goes, "Oh you thought, eh?"
Damn dude. Immediately after watching this video I went to your channel to subscribe only to find that I already did. Amazing content, please make more.
i stumbled upon your channel by complete accident and i just love your "worst guides". great sense of humor and amazing editing! would LOVE watching more worst guides for games i've played/ have'nt played all together!
@@connorconquers genuinely exciting to hear. Your jokes are hilarious and I'm sure genuine Noita fans new to the channel would have been like WTF until halfway through when they realized they were watching a genius. I now have to play Noita
This encapsulates my experience with the game so well! It just keeps getting crazier, bigger, more complex, and more full of WTF the deeper (and not so deeper) you go. I admit that I am not a good enough gamer to actually survive the early game very often, so I eventually gave up and backed up my save file every now and then so I could really explore... But my god did I love the exploration and tinkering! Even after 110 hours, I think I have like... 2 of the achievements on the pillars. XD Thanks for the excellently made video (and nostalgia)!
I don’t even think a computer could handle that. Noita already had its freak outs with its simple graphics. Simulating every pixel on a 3D scale would be…. Insane.
@@CatLover-gk8uu bro, imagine how crazy it would be seeing the sand and snow shift as you move through it in 3d. That would be so cool and probably cause your PC to implode on itself and/or gain sentience and throttle you.
@@CatLover-gk8uu 3d pixels are called voxels. So i'm waiting for a genius developer (or just smart but dedicated) to develop a good voxel engine that is basically 3d noita.
I like to think that Noita is just an ancient god's effort to gather cultist by communicating with a "modern artist" so every update is the creator recieving further instructions in his dream(he's waiting to know the use of the pot too).
My dude, can you please keep doing videos? This is so good. It's such a good style, it's the exact way I want to be introduced to cool niche games, you really have something cool going on here.
You removed the subway surfers gameplay during the explanation. I am now dead because of you. I am writing this comment from the afterlife. Surprisingly, the reception is pretty good.
This is the best introduction to noita I ever seen 😂😂😂 Never seen a more accurate description of what is noita then what you see/hear in the beginning of this video.
This was fantastic! I hope that you had as much fun making this video as I did watching it. Thank you so much for sharing your perspective and talents with the world.

Thank you! Enjoy Noita, it's a wild experience and don't be afraid to step away for a bit when it beats you down. It took me ages to get my first win and longer to get a god run.
This video is what made me really get into Noita. After 56 hours and 121 deaths, I've finally finished my first successful run today, and after everything I saw in this video, I'm just getting started with it. Props to you, this is the perfect video to get into the game!

@@connorconquers true enough. i only go up there if im doing a sun quest, but poly juice is still tricky outside of the sky work
(Mild spoilers)
The only “counterplay” I know of involves getting lucky with a fungal shift turning all polymorphine in the world into some other substance or by consuming the flesh of a polymorph mage (which is extremely tedious and ineffective if you want it to last for a long time)
This is the most perfect video to encapsulate the full Noita experience in 22 minutes. I'm thouroughly amazed. Definitely the best guide to Noita!
There's so much I wanted to cover but felt it would be too overwhelming or complicated. I'm hoping I left enough surprises for people who decide to pick up the game.
After 500+ hours of Noita, I can confidently say I'm still a beginner 🤣
That was a really excellent video. The way you presented the Lava Lake really captured the self-paced reward (and pain) of exploring Noita's universe.
To everyone else, there's still loads of moments like that to discover and experience.
It seemed like the perfect thing to fixate on since it really captured everything this game is about. And it's crazy how after so many hours there is still do much to discover. I'm still finding new stuff out all the time.
The first time I crossed the lava and saw the bridge, I was still spoiler-free. My first thought was "If I cross this bridge, I am 100% certain I will die. Welp. Guess I better find out WHY I die."
Then I died.

@@FrommermanYou’re gonna go far kid 😂 Keep going my man!
your wit and humor is unrivaled. I wish I could watch your stuff for the first time again. Also the production quality and density of content is off the charts
Thank you! I'm learning more with every video, both with scripting and production.
"drinking the transition juice in noita is about the same as doing it in Florida because our chances of survival just plummeted" 🤣😂😭😭 too real ._.
I almost cut that joke because I thought it might be "too real" but I really love making fun of that cesspit of a state.
@@connorconquers god, I love your channel, pls keep cooking
Trans rights!

@@connorconquersridiculing shithole places and showing support for trans people is such a good combo
My favorite thing about this video is watching it once, buying Noita, playing it, getting confused so you watch it again, play more Noita, squeeze out a win after 90 runs, eventually watching this video again, and STILL getting helpful info that you didn't understand before, and it gets funnier and every time you watch it too. Can't wait to get a god run then watch this again to relate better.
I was worried this would be information overload but I'm glad it's having the desired effect!
Only 90? Color me impressed. Still sub 20 "wins" with over 1k runs... and have only managed to get even slightly silly a few. Know I'm not "gud" but doesn't stop me from coming back
The video format is definetely a recipe for success. It gives deeper and deeper insights in to the game and just when you think it's done, there comes "but wait, there's more!" moment. Can see this really taking of if you manage to keep pulling of such quality content.
Thanks! I had a few ahha moments when it came to scripting this one that I wanna try to carry forward.
I just found your channel and I cannot describe how sad I was that you had only the videos you had. Can't wait for more, your stuff is incredible!
Workin' on it! Two guides in progress and I'm trying to figure out some more formats to fill in the gaps.
Ive had this game in my library for years and have played tens of runs. I did not know it had 1/5th this amount of depth
It really does a great job of TELLING YOU NOTHING and just hoping you figure it out.
time to reinstall and slave away!
*dozens
I swear your ability to show off the strength of games is unmatched
It's easy when the games are amazing.
"Finnish, alchemic, fanfiction" was like a 3 piece combo from Iron Mike Tyson
The only true extent of Noita being how much your computer can handle reminds me of a bit of Warhammer lore where Lord Kroak was firing so many spells out of his froggy ass that time started to stop as reality itself started to lag.
Oh, that's why time stops in black holes... 🤔
My first perk I ever got was the one that let me tinker anywhere. I could feel my luck disintegrating by the nanosecond.
One of the best videos I've ever seen. Not just for Noita. Not just gaming videos. Videos. Period. Perfect pacing, amazing editing, and also huge respect for the "music used in video" in the description. Basically, perfect.
I wonder if it's just a coincidence that both this and "Fear and Hunger" have Finnish devs... hmmmm...
Thank you! I so glad you liked it! I really had a blast writing the script for this.
Also, yeah, I dunno what's going on with Finnish game devs but I don't ever want them to stop cooking.
Duuuuuude I literally just found your video on ONI yesterday. Absolutely loved it, despite never having actually played, watched all the rest of you videos, subbed the hell up, and got a little sad you can only post every few months. But you've already got another video out?? Oh how the stars have aligned today 🙏 keep up the good stuff man, take your time and stay grounded in your style
Thanks! Last year was a little rough between work and my appendix trying to kill me. I've been getting a lot better at writing scripts so hopefully it won't be SEVERAL MONTHS between vids. Also if you have any game suggestions I'd love to hear them!
This stuff is a *lot* of fun. I love when I'm lucky enough to be on the ground floor when someone's just getting started, and obviously has a ton of talent and drive.
I saw your tease for Factorio coming up, and honestly, , I can't wait to see what you do next.
Hoping to finish the 1st draft of the script by tomorrow and start editing by next weekend!
This feels like a Max0r summary without the seizure-inducing montages and goddamn does it appeal to me.
He's a huge inspiration but I don't think I could edit that quick if I wanted to lol
So criminally underrated, your method for making videos is really entertaining! You get into just the right amount of detail and make the entire video feel too short and just really fun to watch. I can't wait to see your next Worst Guide video, maybe another mind-melting game like factorio somewhere down the line? :D
Factorio and Path of Exile are already in the works 😉
Also, thanks for the kind words!
Happy to see a new video from you! I have heard of Noita before, great to have you make a video about it, thank you very much! :)
It's one of my favorite games. I hate it so much.
@@connorconquers That's absolutely understandable. I am not yet sure whether or not I am masochistic enough to play it
That Nile Green reference earned you a follow. Maybe more if I catch a stream.
Love the videos, and thank you for having the music used playlist, i hate not finding a song because they don't list it.
SAME! There's usually some saint putting music up in the comments of the video that doesn't have it but I wanna save people the trouble lol
This video is amazing, the part where you explained wands and highlighted the spells slots in the wand as it was happening was very well done!
Hope many new people see this and experience the amazing things Noita has to offer....
(or buys it to ragequit after losing a god tun to poly🤣)
Thanks! I was really happy with how that part came out. Also, I've actually rage uninstalled the game 3 times because of poly deaths. It's part of the process 🥰
I watch this video everytime I'm burnt out and it keeps bringing me back to play more. Props to DunkorSlam for linking it.
I was like that with Albino's video lol. Glad you're sticking it out, king.
I hope this video gets picked up by the algorithm because it is BEAUTIFULLY MADE. Love the comedy, love the editing, pacing, explanation, familiarity with the game, etc etc etc. Your passion really shows and I hope you get what you deserve (many many views and subscribers) : )
Thank you so much! This one was a blast to make. I'm also finally getting comfortable with my narration voice lol
11:27 Rest in peace little noit.
Pour one out for all the noits that died to make this video possible 😭
After I saw how much HP you had when dying in the lava lake the first time, I had to commend your dedication to make a great video. That would probably take me about 2-4 hours on an average seed to get that much HP
Incredibly well-edited, well-written video! As a fellow Noita enjoyer, I think you boiled it all down to be very digestible and fun! Subscribed!
I just wanna proliferate polymorphine deaths among new and returning players. Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your content, and hope to see more! but also albino called at 15:00 and wanted his joke back
Thank you! Also I'm pretty sure I've heard a few people call wand connoisseur squidward? Maybe he started it? No intention to steal a joke, I've been calling him that for a while now lol
I’m about halfway through this video when leaving my comment. This is so insanely well edited and I love all of the references!! Subscribed :)
Thank you so much for putting in an effort to make this really entertaining. There's so many super dry videos out there, good to have one that feels like it was made by a human being with emotions and humor.
Wow you earned my sub and then some.
The writing of this Video Essay Review Guide Educational Shitpost(?) rivals LazyPurple's "How it feels to play..." series and has a familiar vibe of max0r's videos and I promise you that is one of the biggest compliments I can give to any single piece of media on this platform.
There's an incredible understanding of pace on display and the editing is equally as impressive because it isn't "tame", it's still wild when it fits, but there's an incredible amount of patience and restraint demonstrated throughout the whole runtime. You could have gone full montage with the game clips and the whacky shenanigans but you reigned it in and that let Noita's more intense moments shine so much brighter when you decide to demonstrate how deranged it can get.
Splitting the video into chapters that parallel the flowchart of [Discovering Noita] and putting spoiler warnings also does a lot for people only now finding out about the game and giving them fair warnings on how deep the game goes but still keeping up the pace by not lingering on the titles and warnings.
I could gush more, but I'm at work so I'll wrap it up.
In general I wish more reviews are made this way in the future, whether by you or other people, because even as someone familiar with Noita, this was a joy to watch and despite treading old ground it was entertaining throughout and I never felt compelled to just wander off and watch something else.
10/10
Thanks you so much! I've never heard of LazyPurple, I'll check them out. I wanted to give people a chance to bounce out if they wanted to stay partly unspoiled but I think I hit on some good writing structure along the way (lying to the audience lol). I'm really happy with the pace of editing in this I've as well, I think I've found my rhythm!
@@connorconquers Looking forward to more (if you do make more), and also to catching your next stream!
@@triple3slash5 Factorio or Path of Exile will probably be the next guide. Next steam is tonight at 8est!
"No.. Not like this..."

The Gregorius theme for god runs is such a perfect choice 17:15
This video introduced me to Noita. Hundreds of hours later, I have a instantaneous and subconscious fear response to the color pink. 10/10, would die to a skill issue again.
That fear will take months to wear off, just fyi
Holy shit man this video just got recommended to me and ITS SO GOOD, your editing style, narration and everything is just amazing, rn i have watched all of your videos and im so confused on why you're not more popular on youtube. This is absolutely great and i'll start watching your streams from now on for sure.
Thanks! We all gotta start somewhere though, right? Streams are usually Tuesdays at 8pm EST btw.
Yeah, after being unable to get past the jungle floor for months now, I figured It'd be really implausible that I'd see any of the endgame stuff so I'd just spoil it and watch this. Never gonna see it anyway. I was almost correct. I was wrong thinking that it'd be implausible, instead, its absolutely and completely absurdly impossible. After seeing the size of that map and some of the other enemy types, I could probably easily put 100+ hours into this game without "beating" it, much less exploring everything I'd want to or making a build I liked. Well, I suppose it's good to know that I can just stop trying. It was almost a lot of fun while it lasted.
Aa a Swede that has visited Finland once, I can confidently say that this game was made to give non Scandinavians a small taste of Finland
12:54 DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE!?!!!?
Between their heavy metal and their insane games I dunno what they're doing up there but oh man do I hope they continue.
"The learning curve is more of a learning cliff" is....yes.
Also, "Since there's is only one way forward" was the kind of thing I told my friends when they picked up this game.
On that note, gonna go ahead and watch all of your videos. Mwah
Hehe, a little lying is key to selling the Noita experience.
Also, regarding immunity, even then it's only temporary, isn't it? I wasn't sure and I didn't wanna say anything "too false" so I just left it at that.

This was an amazing video and I love both the humor and the format. I just went back and watched all your other videos and I hope you keep making more, these are great.
Thank you! I plan to continue. I'm learning Factorio and working on one got Path of Exile.
@@connorconquers Oh damn, those are both ones I'm very much looking forward to (Factorio because I'm familiar with it, PoE because I know almost nothing about it but it seems really cool under the assumption that you have infinity time to play video games).
On the Factorio front, are you familiar with DoshDoshington?
@@yaksher never heard of Dosh and I'm still very new to the game/scene so I'd love any other recommendations!
@@connorconquers Dosh is the only Factorio RUclipsr I've watched, but I highly recommend his stuff.
Having never played before, what broke me was the fact you could GO PAST the cursed rock to find an entirely new world.
It's crazy cuz the first time you zoom the map out (I didn't even show all of it) you're like, "wow this game is crazy!" And then the game goes, "Oh you thought, eh?"
DUDE I loved your video and Albino was a big inspiration for me to make mine. My main inspiration was green x tho! Keep up the great work!
Thanks! Yeah Albino and his editors, especially @DoodlezMusic, are amazing.
Damn dude. Immediately after watching this video I went to your channel to subscribe only to find that I already did. Amazing content, please make more.

Best series available. You are on another level. Please make more.
Thank you so much! More to come!
@@connorconquers genuinely exciting to hear. Your jokes are hilarious and I'm sure genuine Noita fans new to the channel would have been like WTF until halfway through when they realized they were watching a genius. I now have to play Noita
I happen to look up this video and play it just to hear him say "NoËta" 1:12
This encapsulates my experience with the game so well! It just keeps getting crazier, bigger, more complex, and more full of WTF the deeper (and not so deeper) you go. I admit that I am not a good enough gamer to actually survive the early game very often, so I eventually gave up and backed up my save file every now and then so I could really explore... But my god did I love the exploration and tinkering!
Even after 110 hours, I think I have like... 2 of the achievements on the pillars. XD Thanks for the excellently made video (and nostalgia)!
Just found your Stardew Guide yesterday and binged all the rest of your videos this morning on my walk to work! Good content, my dude! :)
Now the scary thing is...imagine this game but in 3D, and it's basically Elden Ring, but everything kills you, probably even your own weapons.
It would take SO MUCH work to pull it off, but a Noita 2 that succeeds its transition as hard as Risk of Rain 2 or Helldivers 2 would be insane.
I don’t even think a computer could handle that. Noita already had its freak outs with its simple graphics. Simulating every pixel on a 3D scale would be…. Insane.
@@CatLover-gk8uu bro, imagine how crazy it would be seeing the sand and snow shift as you move through it in 3d. That would be so cool and probably cause your PC to implode on itself and/or gain sentience and throttle you.
@@CatLover-gk8uu 3d pixels are called voxels. So i'm waiting for a genius developer (or just smart but dedicated) to develop a good voxel engine that is basically 3d noita.
This is one of my favorite videos I keep coming back to watch it
the fact you mentioned my favorite maggot makes me happy
I found out about (and fell in love with) Noita because of his videos. And the Twitch integrations mod he commissioned is a gift to the community.
the spoilers getting better as you go along is amazing! I spent 220 hours until I thought I figured out everything, then there was world tp wand lmao
I like to think that Noita is just an ancient god's effort to gather cultist by communicating with a "modern artist" so every update is the creator recieving further instructions in his dream(he's waiting to know the use of the pot too).
Yeah, but the god's name is just FuryForged.
Everybody eatin' when Connor Conquers drops a new video.

Easy tip. When spawning in, press two then click at your feet.

Appreciate the video, I show this video to someone and then all of a sudden they have Noita! Great work!
My dude, can you please keep doing videos?
This is so good. It's such a good style, it's the exact way I want to be introduced to cool niche games, you really have something cool going on here.
I plan to! In fact I'm hoping to release a "guide" to Factorio in a few weeks. Thanks for the kind words.

Honestly I only play nightmare mode these days. For how much easier it is to die, the zero-to-overpowered route is that much faster too.
Starting with Tinker is great but I just get Noita'd too much to stomach it.
This is the best introduction to noita I ever seen 😂😂😂 Never seen a more accurate description of what is noita then what you see/hear in the beginning of this video.
This was fantastic! I hope that you had as much fun making this video as I did watching it. Thank you so much for sharing your perspective and talents with the world.
