Multiply or Release 23

A battle simulation controlled by the random movement of marbles. Each player's marbles can enter either the Multiply trigger, which doubles their current number, or Release, which launches a number of shots equal to their current number and resets it to 1.
The last player standing wins.
Simulation made using Unity

Orange got tired of magenta defenses and decided to dig a tunnel and attack him from underground.

[@nikolozgilles]

Trench warfare be like

[@lolucorn1]

Staying up til 2am feels like being able to catch a Lost Marbles video while it's still warm from the oven, keep cooking lol

[@Antony55555]

WOW! That was dense battle. )

[@SeanMirrsen]

It's actually quite hard to see the status circle and the charge/shot numbers, I've realized, especially when it's these kinds of acid colors. Perhaps consider using some of that copious amount of black background space on the screen to put the numbers against? Just somewhere in the vicinity of the corresponding tower is fine, it doesn't need to be plastered right on it methinks. :)

[@lostmarbles3d]

On the list :)

[@Doom721]

Haha yeah the marble jank in this one was unreal at the end all the vibrating off board marbles

[@Samsel-m6p]

Yay! I hope cyan wins! Also: you could make gravity shots attract each other as well, resulting in epic gravity battles

[@mylesthayer2843]

@Samsel-m6p I think they already do

[@Samsel-m6p]

@mylesthayer2843 Yes, but sadly they didnt.... 🙁

[@LightWarriorK]

That was....chaotic.😂 I agree with others, the underground marbles is a problem. But I'll say again, that Wheel is way to OP compared to the Multiply/Release.

[@PeterBarnes2]

That probably means that release should be smaller. The numbers hardly get above 16 or 32 on their own.

[@LightWarriorK]

​@@PeterBarnes2I've mentioned that before, yes. I also suggested that the divider could move to the left over time.

[@bobblebardsley]

I enjoyed this a lot! I thought bombs seemed too powerful at first but over time they seemed less of a gamechanger, so that was a really nice balance overall. Maybe choose a thumbnail from earlier in the video so it doesn't spoil the last two surviving players, pretty sure the thumbnail on this one is about 10-15 seconds from the final victory, but other than that this was great :)

[@SeanMirrsen]

After thinking for a bit, some ideas. I like that you keep experimenting with specials, I think it's the right direction to take. Some of the roulette outcomes are/were extremely mild, to the point it's hard to even notice them. One in particular is the x4 space, which is just double the normal 'multiply' outcome. I think a far more interesting mechanic would be either a temporary boost to the 'multiply' (say turn it into x4 for ten seconds for that color), or a small permanent multiply boost (like an extra .2 every time, you could display the number in the stat block for reference). Your floor seems to have space under it. Instead of getting fancy with the calculations, maybe just make it so the map is made of columns that extend upward, rather than blocks that rise? And on the topic of the floor, the 'fortify' mechanic does seem to work eventually, but how about adding 'terrain deformation' to the other specials? The bomb could leave a small depression in the map after exploding, the gravity bomb could do the opposite. There could be a 'fortress shot' that creates a sharply raised 5x5 rectangle of terrain that's impossible for marbles to just roll over from level ground, but does no other damage. Could be interesting. It's fun seeing how this series evolves over time. Keep it up! :)

[@drecknathmagladery9118]

im noticing a trend in the past 3 of these orange has won 3 in a row twice via sheer flood tactics and this time by ground cheese

[@KaedennYT]

Regarding the balls below the floor, you can fix this by `if (ball.z - ball.radius < floor) { ball.z = floor + ball.radius; }`.

[@Alienoiable]

Spoiler protection Purple getting killed from under the map, feels bad man. "retreat" really needs to go.

[@GamerNationTecno]

I just thought of a boss fight version with a tower in the middle, four turrets and it fortify's every 30-60 seconds. It could cause massive amounts of mayhem!

[@bezmozg565]

You have to fix marbles somehow going under the map, Pink(magenta) got elimianted because some rat orange marbles went underground and multiplied, like said rats, essentially fix these New York tunnels ahh.

[@-Big_Big]

should make a tunnel exit in the middle of the map up high. any balls that manage to sneak out of zone is teleported to the middle and falls down to the middle

[@zunkman1]

Nice, but hard to see the numbers and counters. Maybe move those to the black area!

[@SolemnFaceMan]

hell yeah. time to smoke.

[@j0code]

Can you make a Megapixel Multiply or Release in 3D?
