Can of Wormholes' Dev Says This New Game Is AMAZING! - Leaf's Odyssey

[@adiener]

Thanks for playing my game, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! There's a lot more to go past these two introductory dungeons, plus a level editor and fanmade puzzles if you're left wanting even more after finishing the primary campaign. I'm still continuing to make quality of life improvements where I can, and this video has given me an idea or two for ways to smooth out the experience. Much appreciated!

[@aggold6757]

If can of wormholes says it, it's the truth, that game was amazing and it was fun seeing you enjoy it so much as well.

[@jimcameron6803]

The developer, Alex Diener, has a KZbin channel, which I've been following for years. This is his first commercial game and it is, as you say, a banger. I first found out about him due to his DROD content; if you've played DROD then its influence on Leaf's Odyssey will immediately be obvious, not that that's a bad thing. I'd certainly love to see more Leaf's Odyssey content from you.

[@Aftershave-92]

Yeah the game immediately reminded me of DROD. I'd love to see Tyler try out one of those games as well. Diener is clearly passionate about the series in his playthroughs on KZbin as well.

[@Dean.....]

@@Aftershave-92 I feel like DROD would be too tedious for Aliensrock and that he wouldn't enjoy it. Might be even moreso true for vanilla DROD but I've never actually playing any of the custom DROD content. Don't know if they've added an undo button but if there isn't one, it would be too annoying having to restart rooms all the way from the beginning.

[@jimcameron6803]

@@Dean..... DROD has an unlimited undo option these days. I'm still not sure it would really suit Tyler's style, though I'd certainly recommend he check it out.

[@haironfire907]

100% saw DROD from the moment I saw the notes.

[@MinecraftTestSquad]

Was trying to figure out if I knew the abbreviation DROD, and sure enough I had played these games before. I knew the game in this video had a familiar style but I didn't quite place my finger on it.

[@superexplosion5985]

If the person that made "Can of Wormholes" says it has good puzzles; I can't wait to see what this game has to offer.

[@philipgarritsen5162]

“Go play this and please never message me again” LOL

[@osmium6832]

I remember seeing that said in a discord a couple years ago and thought they were being literal and unfriendly. It's apparently a really common meme that indie game developers quote as a joke. My best understanding is that it means "this game is so amazing it'll keep you preoccupied forever", which then gets turned into a joke by telling someone to shut up and go away with that game as a bribe.

[@scientificthesis]

I love when a puzzle name is a hint to the solution. Names are important and 1-1 is the video game equivalent of "untiled".

Very excited for this series! My brain is a bit puzzled out after Isle of Seas and Skys, but I really enjoy appreciating the design of these puzzles as you beat them.

“You get to play as a ferret” *opinion of game instantly goes up*

[@meapyboy12345]

Oh definitely yeah. Ferret’s are amazing.

[@tinfox2]

5:08 I just noticed the one flying snake at the top was there to show you that weak platforms only break once you leave them, which is something you need to know for the last part of the puzzle

[@zuffyfrua]

The level design in the game is simply amazing. Took me weeks to solve some of the puzzles. Fantastic to watch you puzzle thru it.

With that thumbnail, title and intro I am instantly in. Can of wormholes was THE best game I have seen on your channel

[@WilliumBobCole]

You playing this makes me think you would also really like Deadly Rooms Of Death, or DROD The simple mechanics used for increasingly complex puzzles, combined with the charm in it's story and characters, I know I would LOVE to see you play them.

[@WilliumBobCole]

seems the link got nuked lol so I'll just paste the generally recommended play order here, I believe this is the story chronologically, as well as conveniently in increasing difficulty order 1. Gunthro and the Epic Blunder (DROD 4, prequel to KDD; Difficulty 1/5) 2. King Dugan's Dungeon (Original game, redone in DROD 2 engine; Difficulty 2/5) 3. Journey to Rooted Hold (DROD 2; Difficulty 3/5) 4. The City Beneath (DROD 3; Difficulty 4/5) 5. The Second Sky (DROD 5; Difficulty 4/5) There are also countless user made holds, a decent amount of which frequently make people's recommended lists, but there is a TON of puzzles just in the official campaign games such that I wouldn't even consider custom content just yet.

[@WilliumBobCole]

Upon reflection, given how this series ended, maybe DROD is not likely to be a winner, a shame but understandable I find DROD tedious enough to play, mostly due to the size of the rooms, that I preferred to watch lol, but this series inspired me to pick up Leaf's Odyssey, and I have beaten that now, very enjoyable, and has, in turn, encouraged me to go back to DROD, and I have been making good progress, I might finally beat a hold soon lol.

[@retrogiftsuk4812]

Love the way Tyler uses the word "rescue" to get a creature somewhere that he can kill it. Looking forward to seeing more of this game. Love a video that viewers can 'play along' with (because the mechanics are easy to visualize)

[@straightasacircle3182]

I really hope this becomes a full series because these puzzles were delightful

[@TheKamillo33]

This game definitely took inspiration from a classic puzzle game Deadly Rooms Of Death (DROD for short) from 1996. It was one of the best puzzle games that i have ever played and it still to this day is getting new level packs.

[@juniperbelmont]

Tyler, have you played Deadly Rooms of Death? This game reminds me so much of it. There's so many games in the series and tons of creator levels, too. I feel like I don't see many people playing it and it'd be right up your alley.

[@anonanon9380]

This is not a coincidence - Alex Diener (the creator) is a puzzle KZbinr with a *lot* of experience playing DROD holds. Well worth checking out - I do wish he had Tyler-grade money to pay for Tyler-grade editing, but he’s very smart so normally if he’s stuck on something then you’re pondering it alongside him rather than yelling at the screen.

[@nexivy]

In case you read these comments before finishing the game, or in agony after, you can mouse over parts of the level to show what they are connected to and other tile specific information like sightlines and radius.

[@pianoforte611]

I'm only two hours in, and this is already the best puzzle game of the year. Aliensrock says why right at 9:04. This captures the essence of Steven Sausage Roll, Baba is You, Can of Wormholes etc. which is to present very simple looking puzzles that require a clever but straightforward solution. They seem easy, then impossible, then back to easy after you get that 'aha' moment. The goal of a puzzle isn't to obscure the solution behind layers of complication, it's to teach a new concept.

[@multipleSpiders]

0:10 yo are those red animals springtails?

[@silivrengamer]

Holy cow! I’m so glad you’re playing Alex’s game!

[@PhilMorris-ro5zp]

You can hover your mouse over the yellow pressure plates to see which of the yellow raised blocks they are connected too

[@pianoforte611]

16:52 These were my favorite puzzles so far. Reminiscent of some of Baba is You levels where you have to build a system to remote control something your character can't access directly.

[@Its_just_Dave.]

I love watching the puzzle games. I could never figure out most of them but you handle them with ease. It’s enjoyable to watch you figure them out.
