I love how long you were desperate for a turn-around, then when you reached a level with no wickets (so you could turn around on the first move) you breezed through it and didn't figure it out for another 32 minutes.
Haha the 'contrived' rules are the rules of croquet. If you hit another player's ball after going through a wicket, you get another shot and can place your ball one mallet's distance from theirs
Yeah i wonder if the rules in this game is like the real life equivalent, because it's so oddly specific, blue ball's mechanic is so complicated for a simple minimalistic game like this
+1 instance of "Icely made this look so good, I had to finish it myself before the video spoiled it." Always amazed by puzzle design that stays tight through reuse of the same layout, in this case, the multiple entrances to the same island making distinct puzzles without compromising on quality. I notice an extra sand tile was added to Engine since Icely's playthrough, I guess his solution was considered cheese. A bit of a shame, becasuse the result of the cheese is that you get the blue ball into the next level, only to get trolled by it rolling right into the sea. For a trollish extra exit that still remains, it is possible to return from Tunnel to Melon
This game looks like the simplest game ever where you golf a ball with only 2 shots to get into pipes, but secret level design layers (and 'secret' but entirely fair mechanic) and a really cool hint system elevates this game to a lot of praise from people.
"That's not Croquet with me!" Uhhhh... wow, I did not expect this, but Suite Life on Deck called and they want their joke back (of all the people who could have called...)
Thought about a white ball that gains shots from passing through used wickets and reverts them back to their color, like turning a used one to a red one.
43:36 is that… a marvel snap reference??? Because there’s a card in that game with the ability “if you’ve used all your energy on previous turns, +2 max energy”. Or is it another card game I can’t place
i nearly jumped out of my chair upon hearing icely's pronunciation of croquet
me when the soldier rolls a critical hit
me when the first word said makes me pause the video and contemplate my life choices

Fun fact: a lot of people also mispronounce the phrase mind goblin

This is a good hint system.

UI thought that RL Croquet had three hit limit?
I used to mix this game up with cricket. So when somebody explained to me what cricket was I said "I thought cricket was just Polo without the horses"

icely you’ve never played croquet have you
I haven't, but the game was featured in Disney's Alice in Wonderland, so I would expect anyone and everyone to know about croquette.
@@TarubyWell I didn't watch that but at least I know what croquet is

Agree, very cool multilayering
i'll spare you the details, but the mechanic of hitting the other balls is loosely translated from the actual game of croquet

oH GOd i read your comment at the same time he said it and i was not prepared
That pronunciation is not croquet
what do you mean, it's corequt
(pronounced 'correct')
you could say… it’s balls deep
If englishmen don't want me to butcher pronunciation of croket or whatever then maybe don't make it so stupid
