Only Use Your Balls in DOME KEEPER

[@greenleaf44]

Friendly suggestion for a run like this: maybe try the sphere reflection skill instead of explosions. It's nice for directional mining to be able to act as a wall for the ball to bounce off of.

[@LucklessLovelocks]

The sphere reflection is considered the worst of the three except maybe for speedrunning where going in one direction fast really matters. The other two help with way more things like exploring for resources, mining those resources faster, and widening paths when you need to.

[@Ermude10]

@@LucklessLovelocks Sure, that makes sense. But in this case, there is a need for precision and drilling at one area more specifically when you've found what you're looking for, or if you're wanting to drill more towards one direction than another. I think it would be a fun challenge and an interesting run to challenge to "established" strategies, since these runs different to optimal runs.

[@greenleaf44]

​@Ermude10 that's what I'm saying. A bespoke challenge necessitates a bespoke meta

[@LucklessLovelocks]

@@Ermude10 definitely fun to try something different. I've personally been trying it out with speedruns on large/huge maps to see if it's better. So far I'd say it's not but maybe it can be used in a different way I'm not thinking of.

[@LucklessLovelocks]

@@greenleaf44 could be! I guess we'll see if he tries it out. I don't think you need any special/unique strategies for this one. Just get gud.

[@BigHenFor]

You need to try this challenge again sometime. It was tough, because I guessed after see your options, it would be around 50 oddminutes in length.

[@theuncagedcat]

Yes this one again please, lots of fun to watch!! I feel like the orchard is not a great choice for this particular challenge.

[@predatoryanimal6397]

only balls that's nuts!😮

[@PackAddict]

It seems only fitting that you have the biggest shaft on balls only mode.

[@S23K]

One thing I thought of while watching: you could redeploy the shield at the end of every combat, so then even if you’re late you’ll have some protection. Also, maybe upgrade the shield - as you said, it’s powerful! Cheers

[@LucklessLovelocks]

It's a little tricky to do that. You have to remember to do it before the last enemy dies. Def a good thing to get into the habit of doing though!

[@milhousnix4133]

Wish u could play this multiplayer. It would be crazy seeing u and luckless scrambling around and shouting at each other trying to defend the dome.

[@ChristopherOdd]

It's coming soon.

[@milhousnix4133]

Oh thats awesome! Looking forward to playing / watching 2 player.

[@adrianbyg5553]

​@ChristopherOdd is a multiplayer coming soon?

[@_dazreal_]

This game surely is joyful and stressful at the same time. Btw Christopher have you tried the Hydra launder mod yet? You're gonna love it, it's a bit of a multitasking effort but It's fun to use. It's really good I recommend you take a shot at it and I love watching your videos 👍

[@exequielgaleano9947]

I feel like this challenge was interesting and quite difficult. Really ballsy from you to try it, haha! Easy jokes aside, I do feel like the repellent could have being better, to give the charge time of the balls an extra bit of time or something. Anyways, would love to watch you trying this again some time, actually, I'll probably love any Keeper adventure! I'm here for them!!! 😁

[@lterlemez]

A small game difficulty suggestion for the developer: Those little creatures may bury back where resources are mined or dropped as long as they stay on them if the keeper mines but not collects.

[@PedroAbilleira]

Yeah, it would be nice to see another try where you try to go wider than usual :)

[@TiaMacArthur]

Christopher Odd: If you guys want to see me.... Guys (Me): YES!!

[@TheLordSarek]

Sometimes, more balls is what we need! Great content Mr. Odd, keep up the good work!

[@JohnnyDee62]

Yes, please post MORE-MORE-MORE of this challenge!! 😁😎

[@DavidWMiller]

I think you should back off on the field nurturing and the projectile shield. A TON of your damage came from relying on those while you let your attention go elsewhere, then they let things through.

[@tobiaskilroy]

Not had time to watch it yet but the title made me laugh. I am also 12 in humour 😂

[@zainbanks6640]

such a good vid keep up the good work😊😊😁😁👍

[@SporkRevolution]

Where do I sign up to your OnlyBalls?

[@LuckLace]

Great content as always

[@boosomentity]

was this a challenge or a subtle way to get you to use your exploder balls properly and more often?

[@steelrad6363]

Oh balls.

[@matthewparsons7497]

KZbin should have a pre-and post-video comment option to comment on the ending without spoilers

[@MrMartinNeumann]

Just a hint, you can shoot balls diagonally.

[@LucklessLovelocks]

You can but it's not a good use of the spheres generally. Too chaotic and you end up wasting a lot of bounces that could be used mining to the next resource group or the current one.

[@adrianbyg5553]

Damn... if only you could convert iron into cobalt somehow... :P

[@lincolnnoronha4128]

plzzz check the sides more before u go deep. Large maps with labyrinth have tons of stuff to the sides u are missing.

[@Ermude10]

It seems like creating electrical orbs to guard against projectiles is not an effective strategy. If you watch the healthbar, it barely cancels any projectiles. Maybe only the weakest early tier flying enemies.

[@boosomentity]

can you target the ground bombers bombs to exploder them as they're fired?

[@DavidWMiller]

They're just rocks, not bombs. You can destroy them in the air, but they won't explode or anything.

[@BigBadBarker]

Chris, I'm really stingy with my subs. But you have earned it big time.

[@Saril1489]

Not sure if it's just me, but the tesla dome seems a little weaker than the others.

[@LucklessLovelocks]

It starts off weaker than the artillery/sword dome but it's quite strong late. Just needs a couple upgrades earlier than you'd normally want.

[@little_shady_fox]

Sounds rough

[@dyzamo5160]

More please

[@ThatBartsim23]

Hey Odd, I just wanted to write and say it feels a bit off when you change the thumbnail for each video with AI generation. It doesn't make a series of videos feel very unified in a playlist. Plus its ai and while I personally think is a cool tech to use, using it for every video seems a little over board. Idk i just liked the style of one thumbnail of art per series instead of each video being different. Makes it easy to find in recommended too. Just wanted to throw my thoughts out there. Loving the dome keeper videos!

[@karanoberoi9573]

No offence.. but you're almost always quite late to defend youe dome.. those 5 seconds of extra mining for 2 more iron really does not help as you consume a cobalt worth of health each delay.

[@lterlemez]

Pls try again...

[@michaelrac9556]

Try again!

[@matanm6829]

Maybe I don't get this game but I kind of want to see you win sometime. It's just getting more desperate every episode. take the difficulty down a little.

[@ChristopherOdd]

We win all the time brother. Defeating the final wave is an optional thing that you have to plan towards. Getting the relic back is a win.

[@matanm6829]

​@@ChristopherOdd That I get, yeah, But since you've brought the game back it's been one butt clencher after and this one just felt futile. The last two weeks, every time one those gorilla monsters reaches your dome it's like "ah shit, here we go again" and it's not all that fun to watch when on the first third of the playthrough it's starting it feel like an inevitable loss. I like the game and watch every time you upload one so I hope you also throw in rounds that are lighter on the difficulty and a little less harder to sit through.

[@joshp8535]

​@@matanm6829lol, he's playing for fun and we are along for the ride. You don't have to "sit through" anything. People might critique or offer advice, but Odd definitely loves to feel challenged, and lowering the difficulty would not be that. He has beaten plenty of final waves, go back and watch some older ones. You have weird expectations of this game.
