What if the bullet durability relies on marble's count? (if marble contains 202, then the bullet has 202 durability)

Suggestion: Have a crown for the biggest marble on each side (you can have a center zone that counts for both sides, to keep the suspense of when a big marble gets stuck up top or falls in the mixer), oftentimes I want to just watch one side and following the big marbles is a fun way to do that, but if the other side has a big crown marble that's taking a long time to go into a weapon bucket, that can be difficult. I like the new shield look, it's just kinda neat. I'd love to see shield style vary by arena, the way the upper mixer does. I think this mechanic is really hit or miss. It's really satisfying when a marble shoots up in the middle of a cluster bomb and it suddenly wipes a chunk of the attack, but most of the time it's just hard to follow and I just lose track of where the reflected projectile went. This could make the basis of a fun point-defense weapon, I think. With the +5 being there I feel like +1 is just even more sad than it was before lol *Love* just having an alternate design for the feeder, the old one is fine but it was getting very repetitive. Have you thought about doing more complex feeders or even asymmetrical ones? That might bug some people on grounds of fairness, but personally my favorite part about this type of video is watching the internal mechanisms play out, so I think it would be cool if teams had distinct mechanisms. Different mixer styles could be interesting as well, though there's less space for that.

Honestly this is a mechanics that i can see realistically making it´s way to the next season even in it´s current state, even a couple reflected proyectiles mean nothing in the face of a barrage of any kind, it is for the most part some trivial but rather very nice looking visual flair to further enhance the vieweng experience. it also just looks cool af.

My favorite so far! I mean, everyone loves a good underdog story.

What if cluster split viper shots? Minimize wasted clusters due to colliding with the wall.

I dont like the +5 addition. Now less marbles fall into the multipliers which leads to less large numbered marbles

From my observation, it seems like all this really did was prolong things, but not in an interesting way. A few balls falling through a spray of projectiles didn't so much turn the projectiles back at the gun, but rather back at the spray, neutralizing it. It's not so much an interesting development as it is a random nerfing. One solution that would keep some ball interaction, but feel less arbitrary, would be having only balls over a certain value reflect projectiles. Maybe anything over 16. This would make balls other than the Crown balls worth watching. Especially, as others have proposed, the balls (in this case just the over-16 balls) have mass that reacts to being hit by projectiles. Having 5% of the balls bouncing off of things while the other 95% just fall down makes those 5% very interesting to watch. And speaking of interesting to watch, I was pleased to see the clot at 13:29 in the pink hopper. I didn't realize that could happen, so I was immediately fixated on it, wondering if it was going to clear itself or if Pink was just hosed.

I would personally prefer having the +1 upgrade over time instead of having a +1 and +5 also for the next experiment could you add shield overhealing as a mini experiment

Can't wait for the destruction lab effects to be combined with others

6:35 a marble got a plus 1 without going through the elevator

does this mean its possible to bypass the shield, by having a friendly projectile reach you, and then having a marble bump it? also, while we're at it, what about a marble poisoner weapon, where it launches a marble towards the enemy with its previous power, and whatever it lands in becomes an inverted version of it? (eg. healing becomes shield drain, weapons repair enemy shields, etc)

love the shield design, but i think pink had too much of a better loadout than blue. Blue's rocket weapon wasn't that good, while homing and spread are arguably the best ones available.

"What if all weapons spread?" Spread shot itself would proliferate mid-air as a rework.

Not sold on the reflect. I do like the +5 for ramping marbles. And I really like the double hex design for the shield. Gives it a bit more visual pop

I think this would work better if marbles were clearly marked to be on left or right side. Like it would need a new spawning method and marbles would spawn as Left or Right team and push themselves toward their own team. The new base shape was fun too

The +5 bucket and changed design to push marbles into weapon slots more often made it very very very difficult for marbles to multiply up in the way we usually see - I think I only saw one or two triple-digit marbles all game! This also kind of broke the healing formula. I don't know if that's a good thing or not, but it made the game progress really incremental (with slow-and-steady progress rather than big bursts) in a way that I'm not really sure was better. Maybe it should be easier to land in a multiplier bucket but the multipliers could be kept smaller? The actual headline feature of marbles reflecting weapons barely made a clear difference, but it basically only reduced the effect of big attacks once you finally built up to them and forced the game to stay very close throughout. I don't know if it's needed given how satisfying and easy it's been to pull off huge comebacks in the vortex league so far. All in all I don't think this one's a winner, but the experimentation is very cool! Fun (spoiler) fact: Both destruction lab games ended at precisely 14m28s!

The idea feels intuitive, yet honestly turns the reward of preparing an attack into a punishment. Would make more sense if balls destroyed projectiles like other projectiles do.

Ricochet really is the agent of chaos in this mode. Seen them switch between colors so much more because of their bouncing mechanics

Maybe a test could be done where higher value balls produce single higher damage projectiles

Ehhh. This is really difficult for me to follow what's happening, personally. I think it would be much more interesting if marbles simply destroyed attacks, and the momentum was transferred to the marble.

I think the healing is a little weak for the bases so maybe try upgradi the healing

Marble lab idea: attacker vs defender (on side has good stuff for defending (and reflecting), one for attacking)

#TeamPegasu- oh wait wrong series Jokes aside, wounder how this will go, intresting idea for sure

I feel like marbles should lose 1 point if they are hit. And 1 point marbles disappear and respawn at the bottom

Fun experiment! I hope next time, the colours are more colourblind friendly though.

It doesn't look like the marbles are pushed at all; that could be an interesting comeback mechanic, where having a large attack also means pushing more marbles into your enemies side

Here I was looking for something to watch while I lunch! Thanks for the video. This series rocks. E: This could be the basis for a new weapon or shield buff - instead of marbles, I mean. Have you done - or plans to do - one of these where the structures can be damaged - mainly the shield/weapon pipes?

Fascinating!

While you're doing experiments you should consider separating cannons from the core and giving each weapon its own cannon. That way a big marble giving a ton of one shot type doesn't get quite as monotonous.

我希望获得这个unity的项目

Idea: Combine marble that has same weapon type

Honestly, I'm shocked the Atomics did as well as they did with that loadout. (Though a lot of it was pretty clearly just Inferno gettting starved of high-value marbles until the end.)

WHAT A CLUTCH WIN

me voting for atomic, atomic is in lead, and then my face when i see that 1000+ orb falling into reds slot with bullets, another 100+ in wait and another 700+ still in game on reds side

Honestly Atomics is a good team. They have usually have consistency but then somehow the opponent always seems to get the better of them. Maybe they need a new coach now. I feel like they dont utilize the talent they have.

What features can we expect coming next season?

🔥 king of comebacks

At 9:10, the 127 (with crown) goes into the Atomics' +1, gets the +1 to 128, but then rolls up the other side and cones back down again for 129! Has anything like that happened before? Has it happened with the multiplier‽

Business as usual for my Atomics :(

Spoilers 🛡️!!

Good!

47 minutes ago I’ve never been this early

That 1200 betrayal leading directly into Atomics losing was insane

how did u make this?

What's the purpose of the green and purple juice at the top

Yes the marbles are definitely great to witness.

The bloom on the weapons is a little much, it makes it hard to tell what different weapons are at times. Glad to see some experimentation though, some interesting ideas here!

This is very cool and I like this vedio and you should make more of it

I know you probably get it a lot but i still think more weapons is needed. Either new weapons or make attacks able to merge to make a combined ability or something
