Get the Core

[@doriandymek7730]

I got caught off guard when I saw the Core just pull out it's cranes and be like "Okay, my turn now.", this experience may be monthly but the amount of quality and love put into it makes it extremely memorable and even rewatchable, love your work, keep it up MIKAN

[@TheGrayFae]

No spoilers. Game Explanation: The 4 colors on the outside are attempting to gain control of the Core in the middle. The Colors each have the same mechanics, and the Core has a few of it's own. When a Colored cannon shot hits the core, it will add that color to the core (or if the core has a different color already, it will remove the other color). The first color to completely color the Core wins! Basic Setup: The core is made up of a center that is surrounded by tiles that start as colorless. On the outside of the core are Purple balls. The core and the balls rotate around in a circle. The Color Teams: These teams repeat two phases, a Crane Phase and a Release Phase. Crane Phase - 4 balls will bounce around inside the color-team's circle. When they hit the outer part of their circle, it will add to it's meter and reset the ball. Once the meter is full, the Crane will deploy, reach out to grab the Purple Balls surrounding the core. If at least 1 ball is grabbed, it will go into the Release Phase. If no balls are grabbed, it restarts the Crane phase. Release Phase - All purple balls will be released into a small pachinko board with 3 release options: Upgrade, +20, x2. Upgrade will upgrade the tier of the Purple Ball, which is denoted by how bright it is. +20 will add 20 to the value, and x2 will double the value. Once a Ball has made it to one of the release options, it will then go to one of the three cannons. The cannon it goes to is based on it's Tier (which increases based on the "upgrade" release option). They will add their value to their cannon, and will be released through the cannon before the cannon Fires, ready for the next crane to grab them. They retain their values and Tier and thus get stronger over time, providing a natural scaling element that will eventually end the game. Note: A Ball cannot exceed Tier 3. If it gets upgraded again, it just stays as Tier 3 and will be released by the Tier 3 Cannon. You can see it in the Red area at 8:03. The Cannons: Tier 1 Cannon - This fires two shots that are not aimed directly at the core. Each shot can hit 1 tile. Tier 2 Cannon - This fires a wide range of exploding shots that arc around the core. Each shot hits a tile and the ones around it. Tier 3 Cannon - This fires a piercing shot that is aimed directly at the core. Each shot will hit a tile, reduce the shot's value, and then continue to the core. Shots fired will run into any tiles that are not their color, changing that tile. The Core: The core has a defense mechanism. The white, bouncing squares can hit the center of the core, charging the Core's meter. When the meter is full, the Core will deploy 4 of its own Cranes. These cranes will pull in purple balls and the total count will charge the Core's cannon. The cannon will fire, and the meter will reset. Lastly, the direction of rotation will reverse after the Core has finished firing. The balls are released before the Cannon fires. Any shot by the Core's cannon is a simple shot. It changes the color of the tiles hit back to the original, colorless state. The Core has no win condition, it WILL eventually lose to one of the colors.

[@JustAnotherCommenter]

Also, just a nice touch is that every time the core is done firing its shots, it switches its spinning direction from clockwise to counterclockwise and vice versa.

[@TheGrayFae]

@@JustAnotherCommenter oooo that's true. I knew something changed with rotation but my brain was NOT processing it very well. Thank you! I've added a note :)

[@danajacobs9727]

Thank you GrayFae. You're doing the lord's work. I couldn't figure out how the bonus balls worked.

[@DonickPL]

what happens when u upgrade tier 3

[@TheGrayFae]

@@DonickPL Turns out, nothing! I doesn't even increase or anything, it stays at tier 3. You can see this in the Red area at 8:03.

[@ghoulishtie]

I was sure Red wasn't going to win since Yellow kept hogging all of the balls at the right time, but finally Red got a huge scoop.

[@Titanblade17]

Yellow got terrible balls anytime past 5 minutes in, and they didn’t even win despite filling up the entire middle.

[@bluesbest1]

Red got an empty scoop once and I was like "This is such BS", but then I got so excited when it pulled multiple 100+ marbles.

Video ideas for Mikan: 1)A "If marbles was died, qualifying next stage, if marbles are survived, eliminate" survival marble race. 2)A marble was winner after many stages,now get a marble loser after many stages 3)Design: Marbles are selecting random colour,shape etc in random stages.When design was ended Let us express our opinions on the designs marbles designed too. 4)Horse race. 5)Rollercoaster race. 6)A battle:sides working destroy enemy with heating system and sides trying to protect by cooling themselves (idea is coming from "Overheating and malfunction of technological devices") 7)candy crush survival marble race (striped candy, packaged candy and fish candy can destroy marbles)

Found your channel a few days ago and kept it running during Home Office. I also watched a few other creators but no one comes close to your aestetics, balancing and syncing to music. Love your stuff, keep it up.

For real. Every time I see a new video here I say to myself "nobody does it like Mikan." Honestly, best in genre.

[@DarkFrozenDepths]

weirdly enough, it's been about half a year since I first started watching this channel... and it was cause I randomly saw it when a really bad tooth infection forced me to stay up for like 4 days straight without sleep until that tooth was removed. I went through a lot of mikan vids during that time

[@randomfuldorn]

Lost Marbles is good too

[@Ryan50Ryan]

I love that the marbles get reused instead of reset. Really ups the stakes as it goes on.

[@TheLokthar]

I'd have liked to see the upgrade act as a doubler for fully upgraded marbles, seemed like kind of a waste for them to only really want to use it twice at most

[@handsometiger227]

man it was a blast. Even tho i was voting for blue, its pretty refreshing to see red win. Maybe we can make a get the core 2 with different colors? Overall, good video

[@spin4team4096]

Hmm, what if there was 4 colours just like this one with 2 cores, and the 2 colors in the cores go against each other for a final duel?

I really think this is the original version of this race, because for three years I've been watching your channel and there has always been a game for me: my sister and I always choose our favorite colors and see who will win. Yes, my light blue color has won quite a bit. Thank you for creating the theme of this game, and I hope you can continue to maintain and improve it to make it even better.

[@jasonwalton9553]

I'm biased because I was rooting for Team Blue, but I think it's unfair that one of their claw-charging marbles clipped out of existence at 12:00 so they were at a handicap for the rest of the video.

[@EvoworldLion]

It is a luck-based fair game ig. Each one had same chances to win. And red was the luckiest

I get way to invested in these. I just had to explain to my roomy why I just cheered out loud when my color won.

[@Dark_Slayer3000]

You just keep innovating man. More marble game concepts pushed out so frequently. You got a really creative mind and are putting it to work. Love to watch it each video :)

[@Kags]

This was quite a good one. I like how the balls that upgrade to the most useful piercing type naturally sacrifice power since they aren't increasing their count at all

[@DimerDuck]

I love how every team was inches away from victory, truly a Mikan classic!

[@kevinwallacelima9286]

So much potential on th8s new format, and i been looking for lime for years now, and i will never give up on it, no matter how bad the time is, despite very close calls of lose and wins, the defeat was inevitable

Could you consider using darker shades of green whenever yellow is also a primary contender? As a colorblind guy, it's pretty hard to see the difference between the two, especially when their territories are overlapping. Beyond that, great video! I liked how it all escalated without really getting overwhelming to understand or reaching game-breakingly high numbers like 10,000.

Another excellent video, with an interesting tweak on the concept of Core Destruction. A few little things do bug me, though: the general setup means a lot of the action is crammed into the sides of the screen, though that’s kind of unavoidable. For the core capturing, it could have been a little more readable as an increasing wedge instead of a growing circle (to make how close it is more clear), and with more of a border (since the yellow on white was barely visible when yellow was capturing). And the core attack was presumably meant to put something more interesting in screen center, but it seems more to distract from the real action, and it doesn’t really respond to the game state (how far capturing has gone, and in what direction). It could be interesting to have it work in a more responsive way. For example, core attacks could speed up in some way based on capture progress (like the core fires a shot in a random direction, it vanishes and adds attack gauge when it hits a colored block). And the attack could be based more on where there’s the most progress instead of the direction being randomized (such as having a circular wave expand outward from the core, fading when it erases enough blocks). And of course tweak the attack power to stop it from being unwinnable.

[@Malthinae]

Very interesting concept! Things were tense but the concept of naturally rising stakes and even ability for counter plays really shone through. Would love to see the concept expanded some more =) Great work as usual, Mikan! _[Spoilers past this line!]_ I was rooting for Lime and I honestly feel like they were cheated of the victory, a bit? At one point they might have managed to get the Core if all their weapons didn't suddenly go haywire and kept on missing the actual objective. There were a couple very close calls as well with the way they defended against Yellow and even Blue at times (preventing Blue from actually getting the core for a good long while). I guess the couple of empty scoops were not a great play either...
