Can't wait for the inevitable suika 99 where they'll have Colin get #1 or he'll be fired.

[@deweytheone8941]

So a win-win

[@rndamas7082]

Or, if he doesn’t get 10th he’ll be fired

Thanks for covering Suika Shapes (free version/demo). It's pretty out of date because I've been working exclusively on the Steam version for a few weeks. I released the full version on Steam today and would be happy to send you guys some keys for it once my key request is filled by Valve. It has a lot more features than the web version. (also you can rotate the shapes in both versions) Based on feedback I also added a mode where each color corresponds to a specific shape, it's live on the Steam version now (11/29). There are 14 shape types, 4 modes, and 5 modifiers you can apply in any combination. Also quick warning, the music on the web/itch version should be okay to use in a video but I cannot guarantee it. The Steam version has original music and will not cause any trouble

[@Targetstrike]

And I have enjoyed my time playing it

[@SuikaIbukiDouji]

I bet they're gonna play the steam version tomorrow and count it as a different game

[@Ericbomb]

Any plans for colorblind mode where maybe instead of little faces there is a number? So smallest has a 1, next up has a 2, etc. So you know that you just need to combine 4 to 4.

[@-cyndaquil]

please add more shapes oh dear lord

[@Zanthous_]

@@Ericbomb Yes I plan to allow for a lot more customization of the faces. I'll see what I settle on, either allowing custom sprites or giving a few sets to choose from. (steam version)

[@derpyninja8534]

i unironically enjoy how Jo and Jacob have become actual experts in this strange genre and are able to comment on the suika-lites so intelligently

[@stampard_extra]

Each colour had a specific face which helps colour blind people & may be easier to focus on when doing the random shapes

[@brickmastere5535]

Oh my god I tuned those out, thank you so much for pointing that out! I'm colorblind so I was struggling to follow until I read this haha

[@doughboywhine]

Yeah I'm surprised that they picked up on the color progression but not that or the fact shapes of the same color have similar size

[@dew7555]

Thank you I'm so glad someone said it I was losing my mind

[@JordanDurci]

I think the shapes also share the same area, but I'm not 100% sure.

[@williamhenderer2091]

bro I feel the exact same way, I had no clue what was happening@@brickmastere5535

As someone who worked in a restaurant for a long time, I promise you, the Hostess was probably well aware that your waitress was stoned, and if she did seem annoyed it really wasn't at you guys and she was annoyed with the waitress. As long as you were nice about it, the hostess probably didn't care you kept coming to her.

This episode boiled down to “Jo and Alpha rant about the Squid Game show for half an hour” and I’m here for it

It’s cute how they use the classic emoticons for the faces

Jacob and Jo finding a way to somehow close out the year with 30+ consecutive suika games would be the most Alpharad Gold thing they could pull off

[@thee2121]

Love the customization in this suika! Do you know what else has a lot of customization? "Suika; Gold", the alpharad gold themed suika! (Except for it has no customization and is rushed as heck, (but I did put a leaf transition button in it bc priorities))

I'm going to be sad once this year ends. This year with gold has really helped me out in my last year for college. It's been the worst year in college and in life so coming home each day to this has helped when times haven't been the best. I look forward to next year even if things are so uncertain right now.

[@fod-der]

Oppa gangdam style

[@robotmaster4515]

I'll miss the daily uploads but to be fair that means were probably gonna go back to them uploading a 5 hour video every month or so and the daily uploads have made me miss those longer videos alot. Having so many daily uploads have made me miss those times when I would see a Alphard Gold notification. Then click it and saying to myself yep that's gonna be the whole afternoon and just leaving it to play in the background as I just live my day. You can't really do that with the daily uploads as well cause they're so much shorter.

[@calliope-greii]

this will truly be remembered as the suika generation

[@Froggend]

every week I look forwards to the next suika week, and I am never disappointed

[@Some_Pokemon_Lover]

These, more than other gold videos, make me desperately want a podcast with Jacob and Jo

[@yoshimario40]

To be honest, suika week has pretty much been podcast week with a bit of suika on the side. It's quite entertaining.

[@Some_Pokemon_Lover]

​@@yoshimario40Exactly! That's what brought it to mind

I feel like that negotiation twist in the honeycomb game would, ironically, actually work a lot better in the real show if the honeycomb game had happened in a later episode. When the stakes are who lives and who dies and we’ve had time to get to know the characters and have them form bonds with each other the negotiation would be brutal with some people killing their entire group out of spite and others being willing to take a much greater risk for the others they know in their group. In the game show format it doesn’t really work as well because the stakes aren’t as high (which seems to sum up most of the reality show in general).

[@tsukiiuna]

From my understanding, the "good old college try" saying comes from college being a place you can experiment with yourself because you are finally going on your own.

[@tylercoon1791]

This is the Symphony Of The Night of Suikalikes. One of, if not *_THE_* definitive Suikalike. Revolutionary, yet familiar. Life changing. Oscar worthy. Gameing will never be the same.

[@hugojmaia]

This game does have a colorblind friendly feature in that every size has its own unique type of face, so you can match by that.

[@SuikaIbukiDouji]

This has been my favorite series on this channel so far for sure. I hope it continues until the end of the month👍

[@tenthframe]

How did Alpha go the entire video without finding out you can rotate

Have someone noticed that Jo's "hello" is just like FNAF phone guy "hello" ?

[@SpunkyPotato987]

Day 33 of requesting that Jacob and Jo take a shot for every S tier game during the end of year tier list. Two shots of course for when they give Naughty Bear for Xbox 360 and ps3 the SS tier it deserves.

[@torbergqvist8151]

Game: Literally has faces drawn on the shapes to make it playable for colourblind people. Alpha: If I'm colourblind I'm fucked. ... And also, you can just, tell from size? Although it's gonna be slightly hard with different shapes of similar size, or rather would be, without the faces. The one thing is that the sidebar guide could've had shapes drawn on it though.

[@shablam0]

THIS! Man I was wondering when they were going to notice that XD

[@dabido1]

This game is the most well-made suika-like I've played and would highly recommend it! I'm so glad it was featured in an Alpharad video! :)

[@Duckamoly]

So many more suikas, next year will just have to be suika year. That’s a beautiful and terrifying thought.

Knowing the faces=colours is game changing. I'm an artist and generally consider myself good at telling colours apart but the bottom and mid red kept tripping me up.

[@KrinOkar]

I've wanted this kind of colourblind accessibility in games for so long Having the faces denote the colour of the piece is so much more helpful than the modern AAA 'colour filter' system!!!

I think I can predict the next upload on the channel: It'll be a suika clone

[@scout1696]

This seems like a pretty well done suika game! It actually varies a bit and makes itself unique!

[@Meese12]

i love suika please post more suika if you dont post more suika i will cry

[@Kram1032]

I think this needs a few extra features to really work: - low friction pieces (maybe friction can be randomized too or maybe just everything is low friction) so moving stuff around still works - either randomized initial rotation - or controllable initial rotation (it doesn't matter for circles but certainly for anything else) - maybe have shapes of constant diameter which can roll but aren't circles

[@kiabb8851]

The fact that Jo has been talking so much about Survivor lately just makes me wonder who is he rooting for in the currentl season

It'd be nice if there was a Suika-like with those geometric shapes we played with as kids, Triangle->Square->Rhombus->Skinny Rhombus->Trapezoid->Hexagon, and maybe add circles/rectangles/stars/etc to fill out the remaining shapes.

[@NoRedeemingValue1]

Glad we're finally getting so effing Suika on the G D channel. Bout Time Boys

hey alpha i’ve watch so many of your videos i personally feel like you owe me money do you know how many times i’ve fallen asleep while watching alpharad gold. in the past 2 weeks ive woken up with your best of 2018 6 times that is so much money ive given you and i feel like you owe me

[@shadooyep1255]

You can also match by expressions if you wanna drop quicker!

[@justcatsalt]

The faces are useful to tell what will merge!

[@RGC_animation]

It will never not be hilarious that a KZbinr beat a multi-billion dollar corporation to the idea, did it with less time and way less money, isn't getting sued for injuries, and did it better.

[@nicotyne8383]

Days of waiting for alpharad’s funny story: 3

[@MrGamerCaptain]

i really do hope there are enough suika-likes for the rest of the year

[@jblen]

I definitely think the colours are too similar, specifically those two reds with each other and the orange with the orangy-pink. It baffles me why there's no blue or white. Blue I guess they didn't want to merge with the background, but like... The background is changeable and will overlap with one of the colours for most options. Edit: in fact it started off as purple BG with purple shape. They definitely could've had a light blue and a white instead of the second red/orange

[@Zanthous_]

The colors are based off of suika game in the web version (it's outdated). In the steam version all shapes have different colors now

[@awfulpancakes]

FINALLY SUIKA SHAPES IS HERE

[@jaktheepicgaming7690]

The foreshadowing of this game was crazy. Actual One Piece level of storytelling.

[@trustindean5164]

I think the worst part of that squid game challenge is like. You could so easily make it where people don't know which line they're getting in. Like in the original the characters didn't know what the next game was so they didn't know what to make of the shapes and accidentally screwed themselves by getting in the line for the umbrella without the context they need to know its a bad choice. But for this one like they know the people are all going to be familiar with the source material, but because they're so dead set on maintaining the visuals people know in the hopes of banking on the "remember this" factor of it they refuse to make the games more interesting

[@10Krill]

the end of an era

[@doodleburr]

Why was square just SO satisfying though

[@Ferniiq]

Shapes are cool, this is awesome

[@chaostobe7908]

Ever episode of this is just a podcast with background video

[@colemanclark4027]

This reminds me of episode one of suika shapes

[@aloix6463]

I can actually provide insight into why every game has a day 1 patch! It helps them push the game out a little bit quicker, since they can put the game onto a cartridge without having to worry about it being fully complete, implement bug fixes, and then distribute that through a patch, which can help a game come out months quicker

[@thomasdevlin5825]

Maybe I'm speaking heresy but I think this would benefit from being able to rotate your pieces. Like with the hexagons I think you could get some extremely satisfying combos if if you could just twist them and stack them into a pattern

[@Zanthous_]

You can rotate them already. Also this is an outdated version, the full game released on steam today

[@velvet_max]

can't believe they played for so long and did not pick up on the individual faces for each stage

[@Mario_Mimic]

The lighter orange fruits are called persimmons. As far as I know, they aren't related to tangerines.

[@toast99bubbles]

I think my favourite reality game show is The Apprentice. I just love seeing people who claim to be amazing business people, yet they struggle to do basic things. Like the time a guy tried selling fishcakes to a vegan restaurant or when one team paid a lot of money for a boat and the other team paid like a fiver for a blow up boat.

you may suck at every game you play but you are entertaining

[@primalaspid2972]

Pieces that match also have the same face, so colorblind people aren’t completely screwed just mostly

[@MiserableLunacy]

the pieces that fuse together have the same mouth and eyes. so it's basically their face that's matching
