Virus Invasion Battle

[@mikan2d]

There seems to be a point that is a bit hard to understand, so I'm going to add some explanation. This concerns the direction in which the color propagates when they collide with each other. It depends not on the speed, but on the time at which the wave occurs. (By wave, I mean a chain of collisions.) In other words, new waves override the old ones. I'm not sure if I have explained well, though.

[@ASHB0RN...]

Hmm so basically if one wave is born earlier than other the earlier one will be overrided and so goes on

[@mikan2d]

@@ASHB0RN... That's right!

[@ASHB0RN...]

Nice now it's much easier for others to understand the concept :D

[@lostmarbles2d]

I really like how the number of virus at the board slowly increases, making release important at the end. It is also a new concept which is refreshing.

Btw the sections are all the same size and length

[@cresalp]

Is this AI on the comments?

[@quindexreal]

Rules: There are 4 players (Lime, Blue, Red, & Yellow) Each player is provided a plinko board with a x2 & release floor. x2 - Multiplies the current number above by 2. Release - Releases the current number as virus particles to each cannon it owns. As indicated below the x2 & release floors, if the number is above 64, they will be directed to another section below after a short time with the bonus powers. These include: Surge - Creates a circular surge which boosts the virus particles away from the cannons. Super-Virus - a virus particle much more powerful than a regular one. Rocket - Launches until it meets an enemy particle, which then sends a wave into enemy territory. (These can pass through walls.) The map in the middle has corners & bends to make it harder to reach the middle, as well as dangerous blocks with a number signaling how many particles must touch it before it disappears. (When a particle touches a dangerous block, it dies.) If a virus particle touches a cannon, that cannon will convert into that team's colour and serve as a extra shooter. This also applies to enemy cannons. If you lose all of your cannons, you lose! hope this helps! :D

[@bluesbest1]

Also, if a color goes into 64+, their canons get a shield until they can fire.

[@KingMatthewXV]

Thanks

[@teamofsteve]

Mansplained perfectly. Well done you

[@oldgamesplayer2220]

Extra: the dissapearance of the block change the width ratio of multiply and release panels More block disappear, more wide the multiply panel grow

[@MirkoMazzoni2000]

Correction: the bonus powers area will appear upon a colour with 64 or more ammo loaded in gets ready to release (aka a ball of that colour touches the Release). The 🛡️ is useful if things go mental.

[@Monoruso350]

Yellow went from almost extinted to unstoppable pandemic

[@vlathispandora]

And what doesn't kill them makes them stronger

[@bracken8782]

And what makes that especially interesting is that it mirrors how an actual pandemic works. You have to kill all of them, and if you don’t, it’ll come back stronger.

[@galliumgames3962]

This is actually a surprisingly great way to show why the speed of sound is so much faster in liquids and solids vs gases.

Yellow was very trigger happy for the first half, and hadn't even made it to the lower part of the board before Red was overtaken by Green. It barely held off a few attacks, but then got that first 1024 and majorly turned the tides. Way to go for my favorite color!

[@gagidoo4757]

it was due to the bonus attack shield.

[@catprog]

I think green may of blunted the attack at just the right time for yellow.

[@elementgermanium]

That 512 was critical too- enough to be a massive rocket swarm, sure, but even more importantly it gave Yellow the shield on their second cannon at the perfect moment. If it had gone to 1024 Yellow would have lost that cannon and wasted much of that attack while giving the others more time

[@Drake_Faewylde]

That one started off weird but entertaining, and then we start seeing these beautiful patterns flowing across the screen as the game kicks into overdrive. Legendary work, as always. I hope you're as good to yourself as you are to us!

[@Rakghe]

Red had the worst luck because his gap connected to center is easily reachable (for a reason that i don't know how to explain). Blue sometimes understood how to spread fastly around the corners, but Yellow did it much faster than Blue, and Green showed up so much endurance, specially when it was cornered by Yellow multiple times

[@achannel467]

His gap is the same as the others. He just had bad luck

Wow! What an incredible new genre of marble battles! The emergent wave dynamics are seriously so cool to watch. To go from individual marble collisions in the beginning to the wave dynamics we see at the end, it's just so cool to see!

[@TheAdvertisement]

I have no idea how viruses actually move but even so bouncing off that idea to create yet another completely unique movement style is just so cool. Also gotta love Mikan's dedication to making everything circular (besides the marbles) in their videos have the Mikan logo.

[@Name_Pendingg]

OH MY GOD THIS IS SO GOOD i loved the the end game! how the marbles pack together and these waves form, it's ALL just so cool also the blocks in the beginning is a great addition, i _believe_ it acts as a sink for marbles to avoid the cluttering we see at the end, it's all clearly well thought through

[@denisekyles4299]

I like how having too many balls soon becomes a weakness because just one ball from a foregin territory could sent massive ripples claiming lots of balls or even finishing off a color! makes things more tense with how a color could be brought down to it's knees and the next second its going super saiyan

[@KnakuanaRka]

Interesting. One thing you could do to avoid the circles getting packed super-tight at the end (if you want to avoid that, since you may desire it for speeding up the game at the end) is to make virus particles die out after a certain number of collisions/infections.

[@TheCloudyoshi]

Or a certain amount of time as "dormant"

[@mathguy37]

Yeah after red got out, chaos ensued

[@tryhardfighter1833]

Yellow straight up chose violence at the end. I'm surprised but you're now one of my fav channels.

So cool how there's a phase transition in the endgame where the material goes from being a gas with turbulence and stuff to a crystal with shocks propagating along the crystals.

These are just some ideas of songs that I think you'll like!

[@Kaiimei]

Meh, Green came in second so I'm happy, but honestly, this one had very little way to judge who was winning since the entire map would just ripple back and forth chaotically, the other kinds of videos like this had at least some semblance of logic, where you could figure out who was winning or losing, at least roughly, and that made it way more fun when a colour made a big comeback. This one had none of that.

[@tovoklore6356]

So when the special power up selection is active for a color all of that color's turrets become invincible for the duration of the selection and the turrets become vulnerable again once a special is chosen. This happened at several very lucky moments for Yellow, which would have lost to Blue at multiple times otherwise.
