43:00 Jon forgets the easy to hit reset will trigger crits with the allorbnothing and throws it away…never change Jon.

[@hybridpheonix6343]

My brain exploded when he binned the most important piece of his kit

[@andrewbingham3304]

@@hybridpheonix6343 Did he ever use it effectively?

[@hybridpheonix6343]

@@andrewbingham3304 uhh.. He upgraded it twice? But idk man he kinda got carried by accidental AOE most of the way Edit to add the upgrade bit was a joke cause the best use the card had wasnt even when he used it

[@iancrane5705]

I forgot how infuriating it was to watch Jon play a game that I have even a basic understanding of

[@acriticaloversight]

Watching him bin the allorbnothing with an easy shot at the also-a-crit refresh was incredibly painful. Jon please

[@DoctorNoMD]

I think this might just fill the Peggle-shaped hole in my heart. I miss that game so much. Thanks, Jon!

[@anormalguy8407]

then blames his build for being horrible smh my head

[@garg0yl3]

Sometimes, I'm just amazed by the themes some games use as base construction layer. Thank you for showing me something new Jon

[@tidmouthmilk12]

13:01 "It almost looks like I planned that, I didn't, that was pure luck." Surely that's the motto for this whole channel

[@scragar]

The bramble might have actually been useful against the last boss for getting rid of the smaller enemies. Since they'd take damage walking past the boss it'd mean they'd stop taking the first 50HP of damage in each attack that wasn't a bomb.

[@globalincident694]

his bomb build meant that wasn't really a concern tho.

[@Forestxavier20]

Glorius SuffeRing basically gives you a -2 base / -3 crit damage, but you gain +2 base +2 crit for every regular peg that you hit. Therefore if you hit two regular pegs and crit, you'd be doing a net +1 damage that would also increase the more you hit other pegs. This is the kind of relic that you want to use in a build that focuses on doing massive bouncing combos. With your overwhammer, this would mean that you could use your Daggorb to crit, bounce all over and gain a massive boost in damage due to the already high base damage of the critical for it, then pierce enemies with the overkill damage. Given the fact that you were going for hybrid bomb/crit, this would also serve a good purpose as it would start your bob-orb off doing 0 damage, but the more you bounce, the more damage it does and the more bombs it makes. However, due to the fact that the Chalice was there, I can't fault you for your choice as it is the more consistent option seeing as that is +4 to each critical hit over the variable +2 of the Ring.

[@willnash7907]

I did some quick math based on his throws and it would absolutely would have won him to the game. Stacking up dmg is op vs big health bars.

[@Forestxavier20]

@@willnash7907 oh yeah, especially when he got the rubberized ball literally next floor, as that would proc per hit rather than once and then not again. Durable makes that item even better ngl.

[@dirtydishes2148]

Thank you for the explanation, I can't wait to buy this game and dive into the various build options.

[@weird_th]

the suffering upgrades per pegr so unfortunately unless you refresh in order to bring the peg with the +2 back, you aren't getting any extra damage

[@malachitx]

YES. So excited to see Jon play this.

[@Neur0nauT]

The amount of great nostalgic influxes of other games in this is immense.

[@brianp3570]

I've loved this game since the demo. Super excited that Jon found it.

[@turbosnail413]

peglin is a pun simulator with rouge like elements

[@donovanfaust3227]

There's a program in the background constantly creating morb puns by the minute. Some say it orbiginally was an AI develorbed by the military but all it would do was play pachinko and make puns all day but those people are morbons in my orbinion.

[@Sef_Era]

I love this game; happy to see you playing it, Jon.

[@aswxwing]

This made me buy the game instatntly. I played through the first Forrest area and had a great time. Can't wait to sit down and really hammer away at it!

[@ladavid86]

This game would be a solid option for a livestream, Jon..

[@kujjeil5527]

So fun to watch. Make more videos on this gem of a game please

[@spinballwhizzkids]

This looks fantastic. Jon if you enjoyed this you need to try Roundguard. Similar concept to Peglin/Peggle but it adds enemies you can kill during levels and choice based decisions about where you travel next, dependant on where the final ball lands. Superb game!

[@TheBlackBrickStudios]

Oh Jon... Jon, Jon, Jon... You have DOOMED my productivity...

[@ManyATrueNerd]

I'm so sorry.

[@hookgripslut]

Hey bro just wanted to thank you for my childhood. I ran into your fallout videos a while ago. I was 15 or 16 when I first started watching your fallout new Vegas videos. I’m 22 now 😂 glad to hear your voice and still posting! Thank you!

[@etpe4830]

i don't always follow your videos, sometimes they play while i'm in an other game. this one had me captived.

[@coolbeensify]

I've been enjoying this game. Something that I didn't realise at first that makes a big difference; you get your discards back after you fire an orb, not just on a reload. You can actually bin every other one if you need to.

[@Mantis_Toboggan_TrashMan]

It looks fun but I can't see paying 20 dollars for it might as well pirate it see if I like it then purchase it.

[@coolbeensify]

@@Mantis_Toboggan_TrashMan There is a demo to try. I don't agree with pirating from a small studio myself.

[@jvseventeen]

Love this game and the video! Can't wait to see more of it.

[@grahamshapley5531]

4:10 For those keeping track, Jon has passed up a treasure chest on the left path (which gives you a free relic) to instead rush down the right to a boss fight in the hopes of an relic if you survive. Perception strikes again!

[@gadrill4285]

The minibosses are better than chests because they give you either a new ball or an upgrade to a ball as well as a relic. They also let you choose between two random relics instead of being given one at random.

[@cryskilljoy]

you totally forgot, that the reset pin to the right would have granted your allorbnothing a crit cause of the literally last relict you got

[@felixzeitler3955]

I don't know why but this kind of scratches my MATN FTL itch, so really hoping for a livestream

[@sotnosen95]

I love how the giant blob being blinded somehow made him miss you... while you were inside him. You'd think accuracy would no longer be a concern at that point.

[@whovo3059]

love this game and would love to see it come back as a livestream

[@toaofpi]

Oh my god this game looks amazing and I need it. Thanks for the video!

[@sircatsmeow2886]

You can skip orbs at no penalty. So using a dag-orb with no crits on the board is a bad idea and it's best to skip it.

[@GhostGlitch.]

He knows. He did this at 43:00 because he couldn't see a good crit for the alorbnothing... Despite the fact refreshes were crits for him.

[@sircatsmeow2886]

@@GhostGlitch. I made the comment about 20mins into the video but damn is it frustrating to see so many times, especially since he knows how it works.

[@andrewbingham3304]

@@sircatsmeow2886 He thinks that he can only do it once per battle instead of once per round. Basically, he didn't read the rules to the game.

[@PoisonInc]

Peggle but a roguelike is already amazing, but being a goblin is the icing on the cake.

[@Xenotric]

oh no, Jon's become a peglin! we'll never get him back! well until he misplays a little too badly and rage quits :P Icicle is just a entirely better daggorb!

[@TheTrueSeraph]

It's a great game - been watching Aliensrock play it recently and it has loads of depth - would love to see it again on the channel

[@danielsanchez710]

This would be great as a live stream

[@Jaxvidstar]

14:56 You could say John, their da bomb.

[@baroncalamityplus]

This has been on my steam wish list for awhile but I need this now.

[@bopeton]

Jon totally forgot that R's were also Crits in the last battle

[@ImTheSecretSquare]

Even though he hit the R and it caused a crit only two shots before he tossed the allorbnothing.

[@modelcitizen1977]

It would have been cool if the Slay the Spire ladder was itself a pachinko level, adding an element of randomness on where you go instead of essentially choosing your path.

[@raf42]

BTW, a reminder you can run the game at 2x speed, it makes the overall gameplay flow a lot better IMO.

[@DreadKyller]

Dang, that Glorious SuffeRing would have absolutely been overpowered with your build. Essentially it punishes you for small number of hits, but the longer your hit combo the more damage is done each hit. On some of your turns you'd have done close to 600-700 damage and if definitely would have won you that last battle, yet you thoughts for some reason it was bad? It said start out with -2/-3, and gain +2/+2 for each peg hit. This means if you have your daggorb at 2/12 it'd start out at 0/9, then after one hit it's at 2/11, after two hits it's at 4/13, after three it's at 6/15, and so on. It would also have made your boborb do much more damage after a few hits. If you hit more than 2 times on average it's a really powerful item.

[@Drunkbritishguy]

Ah one of those

Checked out the demo an could easily sink hours into it.

[@almightyk11]

Was waiting for you to try this ^_^

[@spooky_basil202]

You should play ‘The Legend of Bumbo’ it’s basically split between combat and bejewelled but in a more complex way that this

[@wsconsn]

I pity Claire when this goes to a live stream, the opportunities for Jon to make it weird are countless.

[@raf42]

Small correction: You get 1 (by default) orb discards *per turn*.

[@thefriendlygrenade7277]

The all orb nothing was so op (even more op than you thought because you didn’t read all of it) and you never had the opportunity to use it

Watched Fauna okay this a while back and wondered when you'd play it since it seemed like it was up your alley. I was right

Looks so fun!

[@davidferrer65]

Does Jon not upload on Thursday’s anymore?

[@QuintonMurdock]

Peglin is such a fun game and the devs are so nice The main character is canonically nonbinary and the gameplay should be legally classified as a drug

I watched this for about 90 seconds before buying it lol 😆

[@craigcollings5568]

Ah, a holographic game. A relationship between 1D and 2D. How quantum!

Has anyone showed this game to Dan yet? Because if not someone needs to.

I would get this game if it wasn't so god damned expensive. 16 bucks for this is kind of ridiculous.

take your damn time aiming!

[@annoytanor007]

I bought this game halfway through the video, somehow I managed to get 25,000 damage with a single bouldorb. I have a feeling the game needs some balance, it's a bit too reliant on RNG and I feel like if you don't go for certain items and builds you don't stand a chance in the 3rd level.

[@omniwaffle3163]

Roundguard is a similar game to this

[@ninstar8165]

Do not make a drinking game based on whenever he says bomb. You'll be way too sloshed to finish the video.

[@H0lyMoley]

I bought this game! Then spent the next three hours just hitting pegs with balls. (Every bit as fun as it sounds, but quite a bit less erotic. Although... anyway...) That ball that respawns at the top of the board is basically game-breaking against bosses.

Pachinko? its PEGGLE.

[@twitertaker]

Why would destroy such a great game like Peggles with pixel look? That is my biggest problem I have with Indiegames. You take a working game play formula add some new ideas, put minimal effort into graphics while people applause you for the "cOoL ARtsStYle" and throw that shit on the market place.
