Arkanoid - Eternal Battle: Neo 1cc 877,918

A recording of my second 1cc in the Neo mode of Arkanoid - Eternal Battle by Pastagames. I wasn't recording the first time. Not too challenging but fun.

Now, you can have multiple power-up instead of one after one. Catch multiple balls? AWESOME! The visual is fantastic!

[@VanAlphenStudio]

Yeah, it's a real improvement being able to stack power ups. It does take a bit of practice to remember which ones to catch and which ones to pass on in certain situations. Catching multiple balls feels a bit weird, even harder to tell where the ball will go on release.

[@galy0]

Thank you for the video.

[@AvoidantTS]

I wish it had very different backgrounds with new color variations. The levels look way too similar.

[@packobox1]

mmm...one song on all game, and reset if lose all lives

[@VanAlphenStudio]

Yeah, it having just the one song is a bit disappointing. I do think it's best you have to start over after death because of its arcade origin. There are unlimited continues if you're unable to clear it in one run.

[@dcikaruga]

Still struggling on Round 35.

[@VanAlphenStudio]

Yeah, that one is no joke.

[@BrianXPlayz]

you have infinite continues

[@dcikaruga]

@@BrianXPlayz You gotta be really good to do it without continuing though.

[@kraigbot4677]

Any tips you have?

[@VanAlphenStudio]

In a level with normal walls don't pick up an E or C when you have laser. In a level with golden bricks go for double C to get laser aim. When you have catch try to memorize the angle the ball came in. There might be milking opportunities in the final level. If there's no time limit you could score big by only hitting the guys circling DOH.

Don't use a gamepad, use mouse

[@prussia9255]

I challenge you to beat my score, I'm number 1 on the leaderboard.

[@VanAlphenStudio]

I can't, I don't actually have the game yet. I cleared the single player modes in the free play weekend.

[@konradkarczewski6030]

Yes, you are still nr1. I checked up

[@konradkarczewski6030]

Mouse on PC?

[@VanAlphenStudio]

Yes

[@johnpenguinthe3rd13]

Mouse on PC is pretty much the only way to beat the Neo mode. If you are on Playstation you are pretty screwed for the most part since you can only use the controller and the way they have it set up is a billion times inferior to a mouse. On PS5 I somehow managed to beat the Eternal Battle mode ONCE (not sure how I managed to pull that off), but with crossplay turned off (since it's not possible to beat a PC player with a mouse with a PS5 controller) . With the Neo mode (single player) I can only get to level 19 with the PS5 controller.
