Isles of Sea and Sky - This Mystical Adventure is a Masterclass in Puzzle & World Design!

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

I covered an early Kickstarter demo of Isles of Sea and Sky four years ago (when it was called Akurra). The full game's just been released and it's VERY good. It's got phenomenal puzzle and world design, with clever secrets and puzzles packed into every nook and cranny. I was only planning on doing a video of the Stoney Cliffs island, but it really got its hooks into me so I had to see it through! :)

I love these weird titles i never would have come across without this channel

[@bumbozambumbazebulon6738]

3:54 "Do I *really* want to jump into the magic purple sphincter...? Stop and think this through."

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

It was proven that you need to do it by the japanese researcher Yu Gotta. He was backed by the american scientist Jess Becoz and the chinese academic Fo Sho.

[@Nyolan]

Nice game, like fresh wind on hot summer

[@mandrag4286]

Wow. Link’s Awakening and Oracle of Seasons/Oracle of Ages are practically oozing out of this game. Nice touch.

[@mrohnoes]

Glad this finally came out! Actually backed it on Kickstarter a while back.

[@GregoryTheGr8ster]

The music is definitely more than 8-bit.

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Yeah, I really love the soundtrack. It's very serene. It keeps you calm while the puzzles melt your brain! :)

[@marcbisson9351]

I may not be very good at these games, but this is an S tier video, Alpha.

[@Soriokeink]

I've just watched the first few minites and its already seemlessly teaching the palyer mechanicsa and puzzles of the game. hats off to this one.

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Yeah, a lot of thought has gone into the design of this game. It's very cleverly done!

[@adrienturbanm8496]

Love the custom intros every time

[@francoalmiron5107]

I love the gameplay and the music, quite a good game to be honest.

[@boioioioioioioingg]

love the little sideye the turtle gives you when you climb onto them

[@Bada4ever]

I really appreciate your channel. You help me actually find games I want to buy. Thanks!

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

47:51 taking the eagle to Mordor, I see.

[@maboroshi2550]

I love your channel, ABG 🥺❤️

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Thank you very much! :)

[@alauddinahmadshah7505]

The cinematic story strongly reminds me to Populous and all the Shamanic stuff

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

17:09 Hello, darkness, my old friend, I've come to fumble my way through you again...

[@jujubeedabs]

1:42:00 Somehow while doing that puzzle I never realized that you could get in the area with the wind elemental by yourself, so every time I wanted to enter that area, I placed the water elemental right next to the wind elemental to align myself right, I made the puzzle way too hard on myself

[@jooch_exe]

He walks just like in Mystic Quest 😁The soundtrack by Craig Collver is amazing

[@AndScrambledEggs]

The puzzle style is a lot like Goof Troop on the SNES

[@neaparis6114]

Yes! Childhood unlocked!

[@Buitronthecrazy]

So...the guy is the reincarnation of the monster from the backstory? Is this based in some real life mythology?

[@konnoyasuki1856]

I think its broadly based off or slightly inspired by Indonesian and Thai Mythology, which has Dharmic Roots. This is evident with the ending scene evoking Ramayana.

[@grantscholz8667]

lol, the enemy laughs after killing him on 1:20:32

[@danrussvencap6700]

Why this game is so beautiful

[@neaparis6114]

THE MUSIC ❤❤❤❤❤

[@BigFan23472]

I like this kind of puzzle game, my first game that i played is the legend of zelda the minish cap, the puzzles made me feel smart when i solve them fast and dumb when they were very simple and i overcomplicate them, it just feel very soothing along with the right music (⁠๑⁠¯⁠◡⁠¯⁠๑⁠)

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Yeah it's a great puzzle game! The sort of game that makes you feel like you're getting smarter as you play!

[@lukebrown2674]

Any thoughts on 100% clearing the game. The 3 other major islands and all the small islands still have more puzzles and challenges.

[@Iembored]

Nice

[@AhmedMalaki]

Finally a puzzle game based on Indian mythologies

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

12:44 Why you kick Miette?? Like a football? Jail for Alpha Beta Gamer!! Jail for a thousand years!!

[@jeremytitus9519]

One thousand years dungeon!!

[@Darkendragon]

@1:33:28 there is an arrow up from the stairs that just disappears, I dont understand how that can be removed.

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Ah sorry about that. That was an editing error in the video. You basically need to figure out how to access the bottom of the ladder where the arrow block is. You'll notice that I show the route to access that ladder during solving the rest of the level.

[@Darkendragon]

@@AlphaBetaGamer I ended up watching a few other videos and found out there are slight differences to each map depending on the randomizer on each save (like the birds randomizing which location they take you) and the way you unlock that block is much different than what you had shown (since you need that block gone before you can do that method) instead you'd have to use the wooden block in the far right near the bird.

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

1:14:24 why are you collecting red but tplugs?

[@HammytheDevourer]

Cute game :D Not my cup of tea at all :D

[@no-one3795]

Reminds me of NES Zelda

[@Nitrobotti]

Very close to Link's Awakening DX and the Oracle games on the Game Boy Color.

[@treehousegames7903]

1:46:44 So I did some mining off camera--

[@portnawak]

I'd buy that on ps vita

[@squarciatore2000]

Its a100% playtrought?

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

18:59 Damn, five stars is a steep asking price for her OnlyFlaunts. The service is not even that good. All you did so far was jumping hurdles for her...

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Haha, she let me ride her turtle though! (damn, that sounds like a very weird euphemism!)

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

@@AlphaBetaGamer I bet you still couldn't find her clitortoise even though its head peeked out from the wet protective layer. She must've given you the same judgemental, disapproving look the turtle is giving you when you hop on.

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

@@AlphaBetaGamer KZbin is censoring the word cli tortoise now

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

@@AntipaladinPedigri Hahaha! Damn, it's crazy what KZbin decides to censor. That's a very good pun though! :)

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

Yeah, KZbin is better at finding the cli tortoise than any of us are when the head hides in that fleshy hood of its neck.

[@mandatorial]

I mean, understand why he changed the name of the game, but of all alternatives this is pretty bad.

[@pietlebrun5943]

SNES water turtle riding simulator meh

[@jeremytitus9519]

Brevity is the soul of wit. I dig it.
