Let's Solve Puzzles - Yubotu

[@TheGamedawg]

I'm really liking these puzzle games you're doing.

[@RetroDeath]

Really enjoying these singular puzzle videos, hope they will go on for a bit.

[@AngeliqueStP]

Monsieur Crab, I don't know what you 'do' IRL but, I must say, you'd make the most adorable teacher. :)

[@pious83]

He's done a few things on the channel that really give off a strong teacher vibe, a competant teacher at that.

[@Samurai0316]

These logic and deduction puzzles are pretty easy, but definitely fun! If you like these puzzles DC, you'd probably like a game called "Hexcells" and it's follow-up "Hexcells Plus!" They're both very logic-oriented like these and it's kinda like Minesweeper, Picross, and various other logic-puzzle games mixed together on various layouts of hex-shaped tiles... The only downside is that the levels aren't randomly generated or anything, so you're limited to the hundred or so levels total across the two games.

[@MMArancia]

You convinced me to download a version of this game and play it all night. Congrats, you've won DC. Also I like your music in the background. La Mulana and Twin Peaks, nice.

[@MettanAtem]

The real logic puzzle is why are so many ships so close together in such a disorderly fashion?

[@Stuffgamer1]

Mettan Atem They got gridlocked during the port strikes. :P

[@half_pixel]

So, if something's good for Polyphemus, son of Poseidon (2:30), can it also be good for Nobody?

[@natoraishido]

I quite enjoyed the Twin Peaks soundtrack in the background.

[@alexnobody1]

It would be really awesome to know what music is playing in the background, I heard the Fear Less theme at 2:40 and now I'm wondering what other gems were quietly playing that I missed.

[@Cover4507]

I already love this series. 😊

[@HorkSupreme]

Twinpeaks music eh, started watching that and I stopped after the first episode of the second season wondering what happened.

[@jeridon6081]

I miss you DC, Please come back to us! D:

[@supercomputer276]

I love these in Games magazine, though I only ever do the lower difficulty ones...

[@Bravosama]

Pretty cool, it's like Battleship meets Picross.

[@NeoMegaMan]

Will this be on the test later, DC?

[@BobisOnlyBob]

"Yubotu" is pronounced U-Boat - as in the German submarines, Unterseeboot.

[@AbandonedVoid]

I think it sounds better as Yubotu. I mean, they invented a new word for their game, wasn't that the point?

[@BobisOnlyBob]

Abandoned Void It's not a new word, though, it's literally a romanization of the Japanese transliteration of U-boat (ユボーツ). Which I'd romanize as Yubootsu ("U-Boats"), because I'm used to Modified Hepburn romanization rather than Nihon-shiki style romanization.

[@PianoBlack101]

probably a play on Sudoku aswell.

[@RMarsupial]

Wait a minute this isn't true is it? Isn't it just a representation of the way Japanese people would pronounce "u-boat"? The name of the game isn't "u-boat" it's... "the way Japanese people would say u-boat" or "Yubotu" isn't it? That's the way I understood it, anyways. Are you saying that Japanese people would pronounce "Yubotu" as "u-boat"?

[@pious83]

Kudos DC, My own deductive reasoning is a bit slower than yours but this was very interesting to watch.

[@SiennaBlossom420]

DC, do tell me what that wonderful music is!

[@XarboyMkII]

I think the title is supposed to be a play on U-boat, like a German submarine, because it's like Battleship, but non-copyright infringing.

[@gurenta]

What's the song that plays around 4:20?

[@Shiggedy]

I guess this name is derived from U-Boat?

[@pigcatapult]

That would be my guess, as well. "U-Boat-oo"

[@Ryusuta]

I think so, too. I think it's a parody of "sudoku." In which case... AAAAUGH, THE PUNS! THEY BURN!

[@Jigglysaint]

Anybody else that Yubotu is an anagram of KZbin except without the "e"?

[@mogiethefirst]

This looks really interesting

[@ThreeToBeExact]

It would be amazing if instead of saying"Well done!" when you solved a puzzle, it said "WOW! You've done it!" Like in Startropics. (I think it was Startropics?)

[@NakanaiJP]

I believe it's meant to be "Uboat" or "Uboats," as in the German submarine. At least, that's how I'd read it if it were a romanization of a Japanese title.

[@icecreamsamwich]

it's batte-picross-ship i like it!

[@ThatStrangeNephilim]

The first song...is it from the rhythm game/reverse shooter Retrograde? (Was that the name?)

[@HuguesRoss]

This reminds me of picross.

[@grotriansteinweg3823]

.. sudoku

[@Triad3Force]

Love you DC :)
