Erm actually, the thumbnail is far from a win in 3 if we are speaking within the confines of the minigame "overflow" as there needs many moves to place black concrete powder to push off the yellow blocks.

[@pawanptaneja]

Typo

[@alanhamsik3376]

hey gerg i have a problem, i tried to build this on bedrock but when i tried to the black powder concrete on the top get pushed two times so it drops two concrete not one, please help

Wow Gerg, this minigame is both a game and mini, well done

[@Jake_TheAnimator]

Minigame monkey sounds racis-

[@wypmangames]

i found a 9x9 board more convenient because making the center black concrete powder is 80 (divisible by 2, 4, 5, 8 and 10) while 81 itself is divisible by 3 and 9 leaving only 6 and 7 as oddities for 6, having 78 blocks left (3 covered) is good and for 7 you can do 77 (4 covered) this on average (with groups of 2-6) you get way more coloured spots and fewer black spots at the start

[@GurkenbauerTim]

Observers aren't that expensive if you're at the point where you're building stuff like this.

I really see the difference between long-video and shorts watchers: Everyone in shorts talked about it's name, how it is related to some certain show. Everyone here appreciates it's genius.

[@albox2161]

I think giving each player a different button (1 per player) makes it easier to keep track of previous moves, they can just move/break the button on the next turn and place it on different sides except the opposite side.

[@GurkenbauerTim]

An auto button breaker would be nice, perhaps put a sticky piston behind the block of the button so that it pushes forwards and breaks the button. An observer can detect the piston moving to get a redstone signal, however it will activate twice so that’s something to think about

[@brownfamily1892]

[@Exazon123]

HUGE STRAT: placing your color of powdered sand closer to the center makes it hard for opponents to move those blocks off the game board. Also, if your not a shorts viewer, 8x8 works best

[@amanarsalan7779]

I've watched a few of your minigames, and while I certainly don't have the patience to build them up I do want to acknowledge the effort that went into them. Thank you for making them interesting!

[@Add_Infinitum]

I'm just thinking of a way to make the "no backsies" rule an automatic rule of the game by removing the opposite button when you make a move. I think you'd just need a command block to replace all buttons and then one to remove the opposite button for each one.

[@coruscaregames]

[@justanicemelon9963]

FINALLY! We have Chess 2.0 :). Seriously though, this is your best game YET! Absolutely amazing. I already have a strat in my mind as well. If you put one of your blocks inbetween someone elses blocks, they can't really get rid of you! If they try to move you away, they eliminate their own blocks as well! Tell me if this is good :)

[@painlesskun3959]

The only problem with that would be to find a perfect condition to have 4 blocks on side. And its an underdog strat as they can literally sacrifice so the other player can eliminate your block. And as this game is a 2d game the block could actually be taken outside of that safe sphere. HOWEVER That is a nice strat because your opponent loses a lot of turns before throwing you out.

[@justanicemelon9963]

[@tzabarpho.]

i love how you can see the different fan bases, on the youtube short everyone was talking about "overflow" but here nobody cares

[@andrewpinedo1883]

For my filling method, starting at 2 players. Center (2人), corners (3人), center (4人), corners (5人), center (6人), no empty spaces (7人). Any more than 7 players will introduce a whole new set of problems that cannot be fixed without completely overhauling the game design.

[@szupertntakos5000]

Technically there is a bit of strafegy to austinfelt's block battles as I have played it before but creating a deck certainly takes more effort than the actual game. While the videos may make it seem like it's pretty much random things bein played over and over (that's the point of the entire thing) once you actually play the game you realise there is at least a bit of strategy to it. And if there were even more blocks added to the server while it was playable, then it would take much more consideration, which warps are worth risking you own ones for, what block does what advantage to your opponent, ect. Either way, block battles is unfortunately dead so I guess R.I.P.

[@Captain_Baz]

gerg, you should make a server with all these minigames, it will be so successful! and infinitely better than austin...

I think that when a player is eliminated, it would make more sense for their blocker token to STAY whereever it was; if it wasnt on the board, then it wouldnt make a difference.

That would easily allow people to make the game impossible to win by double locking their own blocks. It would be really unfun trust me
