SB Plays Rain World 01 - I Bet They're Crunchy

The moths, I mean. Not the slugcats. Slugcats look like creatures made entirely of pudding.
Rain World is a game about desperately trying to survive in a broken ecosystem, but at least you get to be an adorable slugcat while doing it! Can we find our way back to our nomadic family before we are consumed by giant terrifying monsters or swept away by torrential downpours? No, probably not. But we'll try anyway, because what else are we going to do?

[@freudianslipper2764]

Slugcat, like every cat, is a liquid. Also, they are surprisingly agile, and have a couple of moves the game doesn't tell you about, like the backflip around the 7 minute mark.

[@JossOwX]

Tutorial friend will help you go to where you need to go but when the rain is near it points to the closest shelter.

[@Cl-2048]

iggy my beloved

[@debonairpuma8774]

rain world is the most in depth game I may have ever played, however is is also really hard but I think it is very much worth it to try and finish the entire game (: ... also buddy will try to lead you to the next closest shelter, it lead you to the previous one because you backtracked a little bit

[@robonator2945]

found this channel after going down a bit of a rainworld rabbit hole after watching some videos on it's world building and AI and I'm definitely sticking around. The fact that basic competency, ability to gleam information without it being expressly stated, actually reading the information when it is stated, etc. are all rare traits for youtubers probably isn't a good thing, but hey whether it should be more common than it is or not it's at least good to see. (seriously the amount of times I've seen youtubers completely ignore information, then get angry at the game for expecting them to know the thing that they were told, and skipped past, is just infuriating) thinly veiled rant over, my point is it's nice to see a decently entertaining youtuber that's actually competent and fun to watch, rare combination. (okay maybe not completely over)

[@Parageist99]

WOOO this game is my new hyperfixation and whenever im really into a game i absolutely love watching people play it, and im already liking your commentary on everything and how you're noticing random little details other people (myself incldued) never noticed! looking forward to binging this in the background while i try 100%ing rain world XD

[@Yahioo1233]

Great time to be playing it the developers are soon going to release a new update called downpour wich has all the new characters.

[@aarepelaa1142]

Eh, not an update it's basically a DLC

[@NecyarUnáty]

Yeah, but it's not recommended to play before the original game

[@farresalt4381]

After watching the other playthrough that is currently going I can say that monk is the optimal character for learning gameplay mechanics, survivor is the optimal character for learning the lore and hunter is the challenge character. Also hunter has some of its own lore that cannot be found in survivor playthrough, but it's hard to get it, since challenge, you know.

[@aarepelaa1142]

Yeah, hunter is kinda hard, mostly because it has a limit on the cycles by after going to 0, being low food causes you to collapse and be weak as hell with the spears, and overall endurance to enemy attacks, also making the required food required for a pip increase by like 100% each cycle after, like you need to eat 2 bats for one quarter of a bar, and then after another cycle you need 3 bats for a quarter, basically making getting food impossible, although you're not really gonna live long enough to notice that usually.

[@vfanon]

! Damn, an obscure youtuber I like is playing my all time favorite game. Hell yeah, that’s nice to see

[@marhepto]

Yooooo you're playing my favorite game! And doing quite well for yourself off the bat, too. Those symbols aren't Japanese, but they're certainly inspired by kanji. The game has a few other different fake writing systems, one inspired by the latin/cyrillic alphabets and one inspired by the Korean alphabet.

[@birb1582]

I always loved the auto batfly grab, because it really did suggest that batflies were monk and survivor's favorite food, and probably a preferred food among most slugcats, because they always seem to reach out and try to grab them. Plus it certainly does make it really easy when sometimes batfly ai is just so weird and random

[@Auraknight]

I'm super glad to see you try Rainworld. it's one of my favourite games of all time, and the DLC approaching in about four months, this is a perfect point to get ready for it!

Rainworld is literally raw experience, nothing is fabricated. Whatever happens, happens.

[@grasseater123]

Five pebbles: 😕

[@diggory4ii385]

I can finally watch a let's play of the game that i've watched many hour analysis of!!! I also have never heard a single person say anything negative about this game

[@aarepelaa1142]

You sure?

[@aarepelaa1142]

@I caught my cat eating a pidgeon at night Yeah but literally even the positive steam reviews point out negatives from the game, and tbh I don't think the difficulty and unfairness on the game is really anything negative because it's kind of a part of the game and what makes it rainworld but then people just kinda don't get it and call it a bad thing. And the movement is pretty amazing in a way it kind of makes you feel like you're just starting out playing games again because it's so different and needs some getting used to.

[@polytanksan5761]

This will be interesting to watch as someone whose done the game 100% just because of how different it will be to how I went through the game

[@deat-mq5xi]

20:00 lmao just talking about how he keeps you alive and then he points you to 2 lizards 😆

[@denismayak]

Oh wow, thank you for playing this. I love when you play Indie classics.

[@Youmu_Konpaku_]

Oh wow a new rainworld walkthrough, as someone who's sinked 80 hours into it this I can't wait to be with your journey

[@Youmu_Konpaku_]

Also nice first episode, you sorta knew a lot of the base mechanics pretty well based on past experiences, I can't wait to see how well you'll fare in this game

[@JossOwX]

The tutorial doesn't teach you this but if u wanna just drop the object you're holding without throwing it you can hold down and then hold the grab/eat button

[@saracampbell2196]

SB plays game?! This is excellent!

[@brobzoid]

absolutely agree about the game being reminiscent of flashback. This whole game feels like someone tried to make a cinematic platformer (what we used to call games like prince of persia, flashback, oddworld, etc) based on knytt (the open-ended platformer from nifflas, haven't seen your ynglet series yet so idk if you are familiar)

[@emiltochev8606]

I'm incredibly excited to see you play this game! It's really something else - hope you enjoy it :D

[@jellycore1316]

YOOOOO RAIN WORLD PLAYTHROUGH I'M SO HYPED XD I hope you have tons of fun with Rain World, it's such a special game, in my opinion, unlike any other I've ever played before!

[@JossOwX]

This game is extremely hard but please do not give up the series!

[@goodenoughgamer1519]

I haven’t watched the video yet obviously but I’m super excited to watch you play and react to this!

[@ShadeScarecrow]

Funny timing. I recently started playing this as well. So far enjoying it (allthough boy am I bad at it). Hope you enjoy it :)

[@JossOwX]

OH WOW A NEW PLAYTHROUGH SERIES? LETS GOO

[@dnd402]

seems fun! ive been wanting to see you play this game for a while :)

[@jasonk795]

Pikachu copyright infringement.

[@JossOwX]

The weird character symbols are karma symbols, they're important for your journey to go to different areas.

[@gamingking1]

:D I love you. Rain World is my favorite game. So when I see a new Lets Play of it pop up in my recommendations, I have to see it. Good luck and I hope you don't get spoiled by comments of people who just want to help (Backseat).

[@jonheffley]

THIS GAME HAS GOOD GOOD GOOD AI

[@katie-ampersand]

To think it's over now.

[@scintillantflea4698]

Yeeesss rain world is amazing!

[@danemarherne4954]

Wait there's like a group of people that hate this game? I like your commentary btw❤️👍

[@XBONESXx]

this game WILL... make a MAN... out of you!
