I love the ongoing theme of having a very enclosed tutorial level, and when you complete it it just reveals the massive overworld like "alright you now understand the mechanic. Heres the test"
It’s like “yeah, you get the idea, so here, have many more puzzles that are much harder using the mechanic” It’s great, this is how puzzle games should flow
cutting down a Saguaro cactus, even if it is on private property is illegal in arizona. you need express permision from the Arizona Department of Agriculture and they will place a permit on and tag the plant in the instance that you want to remove it.
I live here in az and see them on occasion, he doesn’t lie, these things are bigger than many trees I see, I’d put most of them at 11-12 feet tall though the biggest I’ve seen has got to be around 20 feet tall Though the record for tallest ever was 78 feet tall owo
Hey Tyler. Just want to say, been watching your content for probably around 7 years and have always really enjoyed it. I now watch all your videos no matter the game, keep up the great work and I hope to be still watching in another 7 years :)
I don't expect portals. I do expect a "spot" that retracts the entire cactus into it so you can start moving from there. Similar to how you exit a level on the main grid and start from the latest level spot.
I mean that the angles those parallelograms have are 120 degrees which are the angles of a regular hexagon, just as another commenter pointed out the grid resembles a hexagonal lattice
Actually I believe it's an isometric grid. I'd have to measure the angles but it's likely 30° up from the regular grid. But yes, those are parallelograms.
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmm perhaps. But as an engineer as well as a crystallographer, I say it’s close enough. If nothing else, it is along a rhombohedral lattice, of which hexagonal is a special case
What is a grid but a pattern of lines? What is a pattern but a sequence that can be reproduced? Does a grid need to follow a pattern, or can it be seemingly random? What philosophical questions can be shoehorned into a puzzle game?
In the 1st one you didnt have to do all that, you could move the cactus left to the little square grid and then push him up in line with the hole and then you could go push off the hole on the right
Every time he calls a parallelogram a hexagon and I want to shout at my screen for it, he proceeds to solve a puzzle I would give up and call impossible
If the next ones are random and inconsistent grids branching, I feel like that has the potential to either be extremely confusing, or might make solutions seem a bit too obvious when certain directions can stand out as opposed to 2 or 3 like the square and isometric grids. I guess we'll have to see, heh
Never before have I been in awe of something this loooooooong

Aww, you beat me by about 13 minutes. I made a very similar joke, but I was too late.

Math tests in a nutshell really.
Give you a basic tutorial and a few examples, then have fun solving 50 questions, some of which are uhm...
Slime god
what's 1+1
ok, now that you know that, solve for X
its like "ok class so 1+1=2 ok" "ok?" "ok so heres your calculus homework"
"I have to imagine it's not that easy, but what I could do is- ...cry."
You okay bud?
sadness
Sad but trueeeeeee
next the gridlines are going to be ROUND
Just a scribble
3d gridlines
NO LINES
BECOME UNGOVERNABLE
The transitioning slopes in that last area certainly area getting VERY close
oh no
“Can I free myself? Yes but I can’t escape” is the same energy as “well yes but actually no”
"So what direction do you want the grid in again?"
"Yes"
"Uh ok then"
“Yes I can free myself, but I can’t escape.”
Ahh yes, the floor is made of ceiling.
So you’re on the second story?
while cacti may not get very *long* in real life, the Saguaro cactus is the world's tallest desert plant
so that cactus is saguaro
it even branches such as one!
cutting down a Saguaro cactus, even if it is on private property is illegal in arizona. you need express permision from the Arizona Department of Agriculture and they will place a permit on and tag the plant in the instance that you want to remove it.
@@slim4o8z i know that rule

Wow thats long
@@theepicbruhman2254 I have been around since the OG BTD Battles flash time
This might be one of the best puzzle games I've seen in a while.
Edit: Why are all of you responding like that? 😂😂😂
This is one of the puzzle games I’ve seen in a while
Out of all the puzzle games I've seen, this is probably one of them.
This is one of the games I've seen in a while
This is a game
This of puzzles all ive the best seen is games while
Just when you thought you've seen it all... behold the leaning tower of cactus lines!!
I’m just waiting for the grid to be curved now.
Theory: the makers of the game had a stroke at the end and somehow made solvable puzzles
"what i could do is ... cry"
And thus ends the story of my life
"can I free myself?"
"yes but I can't escape"
2:47 his "DEUUUHH" of confusion, amazement, and a little betrayal is always priceless
13:58 this isn't even a grid game anymore 💀💀
Damn
Depends on which definition of grid you're using
@@WanderTheNomad **Normal**
Well, teeechnically.. all the lines still start and end on the grid...
It uses corners instead of faces
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they added portals or some bullshit like that
fuck it, septagonal grid
Fuck it, make it 3d
I don't expect portals. I do expect a "spot" that retracts the entire cactus into it so you can start moving from there. Similar to how you exit a level on the main grid and start from the latest level spot.
"i want to *expand* on this idea"
the grid just got a stroke at the end and decided to become a tree
14:53 That "No" followed by the "Oh my god" gave me the same energy one gets from being betrayed by your favorite character in a video game.
The grid will go, wherever the grid wishes to go.
See Tyler struggle with obvious solutions: 🏆
See Tyler quickly and procedurally complete levels I'd take hours on: .....Shit
Those are parallelagrams, the only reason I know this is that when I first heard it I thought it was a strange name for a shape.
Yeah, but their angles are of a regular hexagon
@@apocalipseleaguepl9248, Hexa means 6, not 4. I don't see what you mean.
I mean that the angles those parallelograms have are 120 degrees which are the angles of a regular hexagon, just as another commenter pointed out the grid resembles a hexagonal lattice
@@apocalipseleaguepl9248, oh that makes more sense now.
Actually I believe it's an isometric grid. I'd have to measure the angles but it's likely 30° up from the regular grid. But yes, those are parallelograms.
Tyler: "Hexagonal grid!"
Me: *stares at the parallelograms* "Hexagons... Those six sided shapes..."
Next you're gonna tell me that cactus can enter the 4th dimension
5D Cactus with Multiverse time travel
Can't wait till 5th dimension catus in the 4 parallel universe
Tyler: “hexagonal shape”
Parallelogram: *sadness noises*
The way you smash these awesome puzzle games is why we love you. Keep finding games like this! 💜
As a crystallographer, I can confirm that is movement along a hexagonal lattice
but aren't the angles arctan(2) (not multiples of 30), since they're grid-aligned?
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmm perhaps. But as an engineer as well as a crystallographer, I say it’s close enough. If nothing else, it is along a rhombohedral lattice, of which hexagonal is a special case
“Maybe that somehow gives me better spatial freedom”
-Man who just covered the goal
"Welcome back to SnakeCactus"
it's evolving
Easily one of my favorite RUclips personalities. Watch or listen to your videos while I study or am stressing. Appreciate the content.
It's crazy how much sense this makes though - the grid just defines vectors you can apply to the cactus, which can apply vectors to the potted cacti.
14:51 is just pure intimidation from the grid
"I imagine it's not that easy but what I could do is......cry"
This is the cactus game that I came here to see.

Grid is dead, and we killed it
14:48 You can see the moment his brain breaks.
We did it. The cactus is finally longer than ever. It even went hexagonal.
I wonder how Aliens would feel about Automachef. I remember him liking Shapez.io
tyler would like the game definitely

"It's weird, right? You go for the unconventional method and often *bluargh* you'll find your way there.."
xD
Episode 1: "Oh a grid game"
Episode 3: "Grid is hard"
Now: "Grid go brrrrr"
Long cactus really creating constellations out here
13:54 I actually burst out laughing at that grid reveal. 😆
First cactus is you, and now snakecactus
14:49 A new constilation has formed in cactus game.
tyler has the longest cactus i have ever seen
Its always the simple to start puzzle games that really stretch and mess with the brain
"How could they be twisting it up this time?"
*_LITERALLY_*
What is a grid but a pattern of lines? What is a pattern but a sequence that can be reproduced? Does a grid need to follow a pattern, or can it be seemingly random? What philosophical questions can be shoehorned into a puzzle game?
Me: thinks of a way to do the puzzle in a simple way
Him: Does the puzzle in a super weird and complicated way
Me: :0
“Can I free myself, yes but I can’t escape”
The long cactus thumbnail his this episodes true revelation: This is The Desert of Irregular Grids!!!
4:41 Tyler discovers rubber duck debugging
Dude once those lines slanted I was out. I could keep up for a bit but once the slants came up my brain got fried
theory: the small short cacti that you push into the hole are the long cactus's' children that she is trying to help grow.
The daily uploads of 12 am
3D loooooooooooooooooong cactus is the stuff of nightmares.
"Hexagon"
I believe the word you're looking for is rhombus. Though the others look more like parallelograms.
your notifications are a blessing, tyler.
Nobody
Me watching a video about a long cactus at 2 am
When the Cactus is so long he calls it Snake Cactus
Holy shit... I can't with this grid
whats next? cosmic cactus? a cactus' expedition?
"Can I free myself? Yeah but I can't escape"
In the 1st one you didnt have to do all that, you could move the cactus left to the little square grid and then push him up in line with the hole and then you could go push off the hole on the right
All this talk of snakes and cactuses... It's a snaktus, Tyler.
The moment I saw the long isometric grid I thought “ouch my brain.”
Tyler: Can I free myself? Yes, but I can't escape.
So isn't the answer no then???? lol
The next levels need to have a mixture
No, we are not questioning how the cactus is crawling on the floor
Oh boy I love playing Connect the Dots.
Every time he calls a parallelogram a hexagon and I want to shout at my screen for it, he proceeds to solve a puzzle I would give up and call impossible
First episode: it's a cute grid based puzzle game.
Now: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Never knew you could make spaghetti out of a cactus
That title was different before I clicked on the video…
This got from 1 to a 1000 reaaaally f*cking quick
This game reminds me so much of box boy. (You would love box boy btw!)
If the next ones are random and inconsistent grids branching, I feel like that has the potential to either be extremely confusing, or might make solutions seem a bit too obvious when certain directions can stand out as opposed to 2 or 3 like the square and isometric grids.

Holy shit the rhombus do have a hexagonal vibe
cant wait for them to bring ice to these grids
"its a fun grid based puzzle game" they said
Very good show. Here we have a heartbeat-shaped track. Trough?
First 8 looked like a cowboy hat now B both in the valley
"stretching out the brain" Loonnggest brain out there
the grid is pulling tricks on you
I feel like this could be a legit competitor to baba is you
You should try dungreed. Criminally underrated game.
Sing it with me, boys! "E.V.I.L! G.R.I.D!
In this video cactus will abandon reality
I love this game so much
Snake cactus? really? no one?
SNACTUS
thank god more long catus game
5:55
That looks soooooo 3D
Little did he know, he was near the end
I love cactus game!
