Megapixel Multiply or Release 14

Four colours, controlled by marbles, battle for control of a 1000x1000 pixel grid.
Marbles start at number 1, and multiply in value when they enter the corresponding green triggers. If they enter the red triggers, their number will reset to 1, and the number that was reached will be launched as either a burst attack or a charged shot.
Burst attack will fire shots equal to the number reached, up to several hundred or thousand shots per second depending on the number of shots still be to launched. Any subsequent burst attacks will increase the number of shots remaining. Each shot will convert one territory pixel to the player's colour.
A charged shot will combine the full number into one large shot, which will convert territory pixels equal to its number.
The charge can also be used to replenish the player's shield. The shield blocks any incoming shots, and takes damage equal to the shot strength.
Who will win?

[@JustAnotherCommenter]

Maybe 1B deathstar was too pushable. 1T deathstar can be like a supermassive black hole without it being a black hole itself, more like a neutron star. The sudden death can perhaps occur on a later time like 30 minutes because, let's just face it, a 30min+ worth of megapixel multiply or release would be epic.

[@thearkmecha4637]

dude i nearly shat your pants when i heard the first 5 notes of sayonara

[@furbyfubar]

Two ideas: * It think the numbers growing would be more interesting to stare at if the higher multipliers were primes instead of powers of two. Say 3, 5, 7, 11 instead? (Since all 4 colors are playing on the same multiplier board there's no reason that board *has* to be symmetrical.) With prime multipliers we would see a whole lot of different numbers on the marbles. I'm assuming you already have some formula for the diameter of the marbles(?) so that adding new sizes shouldn't be an issue? * Speaking of the diameter of the marbles, could you try having the size of the marbles on the left board be scaled by a factor that shrinks over time? That way a 1M marble wouldn't fit in the high multipliers early on in the game, but in the mid game it could, and in the (very) late game a 16M *could* still fit as well.

[@lostmarbles2d]

Very interesting idea to have the marble diameter change over time.

[@Cape34770]

I am on board for the second one. (I want big numbers)

[@TGMVStudios]

i saw yellow shaking of fear in his last seconds lol

[@agagugu550]

The winner not only killed everyone, but also survived. Not even breaking a sweat and showing off with that clutch 200M at the end. One of the best simulations in this genre I,ve seen.

[@Cape34770]

"Guess ill root for gray"

[@soranuareane]

So, the system itself is awesome, but there might be a few more things to "polish" and make this look better. Here are a few ideas: 1. Have text over/above the six upgrades for the first few seconds of the video that names the upgrades and fades out over a few seconds. That way we know what does what at a glance. 2. Have the pachinko marbles somehow advertise their size with a shifting border color. As they grow, the border gets a little thicker (a few pixels) and changes color. This would make it easier to see the huge marbles at a glance without needing to read all those tiny numbers. 3. Add some sort of border/gradient/shading/something to the boss marble. This could go either way. 4. What locale are you using? This looks like an European one, like de-DE. If most of your viewers are English-speaking, you might want to consider changing that to an en-GB or en-US locale.

[@lostmarbles2d]

Hi, thanks for the feedback, those are some good ideas!

[@fistnamelastname5437]

Would it prehaps be possible for the 1B marble in the middle to not take out shields in 1 hit? it feels somewhat anticlimatic for 1 team to be doing reasonably well and then they lose all their shields in 1 hit. Prehaps make it so that the boss marble in deals only 90% of the shields health?

[@user-jv2xf3ow4i]

Nah red is now known as a betrayer R.I.P yellow. He was so young

[@AstralDragn]

probably because my two normally chosen colors were taken out right away, but the neutral color marble was just a tad too strong imo while being easily utilized. The only way i can imagine fixing it in its current iteration is making it so its not so easy to push at diagonals so it doesn't wipe out teams quite so quickly, but not sure how to do that. On that note, is it possible to make them spin? Noticed later the neutral orb started using projectiles to propel itself, could it be made to spin slowly maybe?

[@microsoftrock]

I also agree that the neutral marble was too powerful. It seemed to do all the work for the other colors. All three colors got wiped out because of it.

[@GamerNationTecno]

I just had a random thought. Do the marbles HAVE to be circles? Or can any shape be used with their own physics?

[@lostmarbles2d]

[@Apollad2]

Not really a fan of the neutral marble, maybe if the amount each marble got reduced for impact was reduced, or maybe it couldn't impact the shields. The neutral marble just essentially removes any reward for early defensive selections and promotes sending the biggest marble out as fast as possible just to survive. Now, if the goal is to remove colors faster, then i suppose it's alright, if the goal is to reduce the effectiveness of an early game rush, the marble needs to absorb essentially 100% of the other marble or be more of a static emplacement.
