The Most Deranged Puzzle Game Ever Made - Squishcraft

Squishcraft Part 1 - the most deranged part is... it's somehow good. Past the insanity, you get a genuinely unique set of puzzle mechanics that squish together wonderfully. Coupled with some insanely hard puzzles (this video did not do it justice), and you have a puzzle lover's dream. Huh.

I would like to formally apologize to the makers of Circadian Dice for saying their game "looked stupid". I clearly had no idea what I was getting into.

[@meladaptiveTragedies]

This is literally just Baba^0.01 x Patrick's Parabox^1.99

[@NStripleseven]

@@meladaptiveTragedies and 2 cups of meme extract

[@n.itrogen]

how did my thoughts come true

[@therabbithole5686]

This was made by circadian dice? You need to finish this game

[@meladaptiveTragedies]

@@NStripleseven Absolutely

[@fiddeou]

wooooooow! my graphic designer self is dying of a seizure, but my game designer self is utterly astonished of how good this game is

[@sighmon5640]

i will say, having seen all off this game, the visuals are kinda necessarily linked to the gameplay. if they were more refined a lot of the stuff would be really hard to explain as easily as it is.

[@nublord5648]

@@sighmon5640 yeah nothing explains the game more than squishing cat girl into a lazer then split them into half so you can wear as a hat

[@pablolacerda1331]

Why? It's easy to see that graphic designs is the gamemaker passion

[@sethobester9331]

I feel like if it had good graphics the spitting blocks would feel out of place, but the jank fits right in

[@aloysiuskurnia7643]

well I think the only possible way to make this have nice visuals is you have either procedural sprite or vector graphics, which is harder to implement than simple raster image-squishing. This may not look as good with well-made artstyle, so might as well commit :^)

[@Kingnaruto16fan]

You know this game's a classic when it gets Tyler saying stuff like "I shoot laser beams out of my catgirl forehead."

[@nb-eq6rw]

Fr hahaha and none of us batted an eye

[@Mewseeker]

Sounds like something that would happen in Copy Kitty. :P

[@eleatreezero]

Take that out of context, and it would be the most beautiful quote ever.

[@TinyかわいいGamer]

WTH

[@TinyかわいいGamer]

⁠also @@eleatreezero you're right

[@felixd8665]

I make games for fun, but one of the things I don't like is making art. I usually will just use whatever image I see first on my computer as a placeholder since I don't want to stop my momentum by trying to make art. This game looks like what my games look like before I remove the placeholders. I like it.

[@InsertFunnyThingHere]

Why don't leave it like this honestly no art can peak this

[@rg3892]

theres something about the catgirl blocks that helps that aestheic

[@nalee2788]

You're such a genius

[@JosiahBradley]

When the mechanics are so hard, and you can't art, you purposefully make it look horrible for that much more difficulty. Pure genius knows no bounds.

[@Patashu]

half of this video is just Aliensrock losing his mind and I am HERE for it. Finally, the first squish-like puzzle game

[@Tazerboy_10]

Exactly!

[@anggaadandiputra8450]

His first squish puzzle is Patrick parabox

[@hopydoesnt]

i gotta agree

[@theaprilsonlyfool]

I thought this was just gonna be a shitty meme game but like, this is insanely intricate I love it

[@highvelocitytictac4232]

PLEASE make a series out of this

[@khiemgom]

Hopefully he dont drop it

[@IcelyPuzzles]

yes, the game's so worth making a series out of

[@Tazerboy_10]

🤔

[@neutralflowerland]

oh hey icely here

[@blatantslander]

I can't believe this game is more challenging than the train one

[@AndGoatz04]

8:12 his reaction to the split tech is priceless (I don't mean to backseat but the grid will *_REALY_* help you in later levels!)

[@n.itrogen]

have I seen you before

[@zitronenwasser]

if you squish a car between two blocks and then split it, do you get half a car?

[@dandanthedandan7558]

I also lost my mind at that part

[@daffa_fm4583]

fun fact: the reason the graphics are like this is because it had to be, if it used abstract graphics (like in most games) you cannot tell whether a block is a single block or 2 squished blocks

[@marcoencarina2869]

the player still looks cursed though also they can just use a yellow square with an orange border

[@austinestep8461]

@@marcoencarina2869 No fun in that though

[@kblackeagle2706]

Honestly, I would love to see more of this. The puzzles look insane and that mechanic is completely new to me, so graphics aside this looks like a really good puzzle game

[@glassesgaming1723]

5:41 "are catgirls reflective" is certainly a sentence

[@AnEnderNon]

one of the sentences of all time

[@Authaeosplays]

why the fuck does this look actually really god damn good, this seems like there's so much they could do with it and I am here for it, I genuinely hope you make a series out of this artistic mess of pure puzzle genius

[@BunkeredGaming]

“3 way with the catgirl” -Aliensrock 2022

[@zarrten]

That is the most aesthetically cursed game I have ever seen, but it is simultaneously beautiful

[@Nevir202]

Holy shit, when he split the blocks in half, I was blown away lol

[@ahnte]

Oh my god, this is actually brilliant. Actually some of the best puzzle design I’ve ever seen, and it looks fucking stupid. This game just scratched an itch in my brain I didn’t know I had. Please make this a series!

[@matroqueta6825]

This NEEDS to be a series, the only squishlike game in the market!

[@Oxygen1004]

"I shoot laser beams from my cat girl forehead" that's the best sentence of the year no questions

[@BotSupportIronValiant]

This is proof that no matter how bad the graphics are, the game can be good as long as it's fun and interesting

[@Afkinator]

I started watching your videos when Vampire survivors was big now I consider your channels one of the big ones I can look forward to for some entertainment. Doesn't even matter what game you're playing I just enjoy your channel. I absolutely loved the Card shark series and games like Backpack Hero kept me coming back for more. Thank you!

[@TheCounterWolf]

"Are catgirls reflective" This game is also slowly turning people who play it insane apparently.

[@yep1764]

"i shoot laser beams out of my catgirl forehead" only in this game, ladies and gentlemen

[@alexsiemers7898]

You know it’s a hard puzzle game when even Tyler can’t do the challenge levels

[@jakethereaper2060]

"I can shoot lazer beams out of my catgirl forehead" was not a sentence I was prepared to hear

[@llsilvertail561]

I'll be honest, watching you lose your mind accounts for only a fourth of the joy I derive from this video solely bc the game itself is so good and watching you actually solve shit (especially when compared to my dumbass if I tried) is great.

[@blatantslander]

When two geniuses meet each other, but the other's geniusness is of a different genre

[@dadutchboy2]

theyre both of puzzle genre though

[@Amodh1257]

This game really makes you *feel* like you're getting squished

[@Snow4Leopards]

The visuals are definitely... Something. But either way I would love to see more of this game! The puzzles look amazing.

[@pictureplanet1]

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a joke, but turns out the entire game is cursed.

[@gremlinman9724]

first potioncraft and now squishcraft. I expect this series to go on for months in the same way.

[@obadeki8125]

I love how Tyler says he can't visualize things, yet plays Ouroboros King so well...

[@Ben_R4mZ]

"Are cat girls reflective?" My mans out here asking the real questions 10/10 commentary 😂

[@samswine9127]

I would honestly love to see more of this.

[@tannith2858]

For the puzzle at 9:00 you probably could have pushed the mirrors against the right wall, put them above the laser, then push the laser down.

yep i couldnt handle watching it

[@venatus5243]

Why this puzzle so hilarious, especially the laser hat one lol

[@tetrasimplex3236]

I would love to see more of this! It looks like it has a lot of depth and would be an interesting series.

[@danielgandhi4892]

New Series?! I would love to see how far this game goes even if it's a slightly shorter series than normal (I don't know how big the game is at all)

[@IcelyPuzzles]

I have a full playthrough on the game and there's a walkthrough by someone else, the walkthrough (where the player knows all the solutions) is like 45 minutes, mine took like 7 episodes about 30 minutes each or something

[@hyperteleXii]

This is genuinely innovative. And also very funny.

[@Tydusis1]

I hope this becomes a series. This is mind bending

[@someoneunknown6553]

Tyler disassebling the very concept of angles and reflection and tearing apart the fabric of space and time just for the answer to be two squishes long is how I aspire to design puzzles

[@realestanonymousgaming]

He has to make a series out of this, the game is just incredible

[@isaiahbennett7207]

Of all games to squish tylers brain. I've never seen him stumped so much on the first video of a puzzle game, so for it to be this is hilarious.

[@fairmaidenrat]

This feels like the game where it gets to the point where a level takes 2-4 hours and requires you to squish 7 into 5, 2 into 1, 3 into 2, and then 3 into 1 just to get past a part of the puzzle. Great concept.

[@sammyjpeg8322]

Please make this a series it has some very huge meta-ness

[@jrdoge1503]

The game took "Dont judge a book by its cover" to another level

[@Road_To_Rome]

“I shoot laser beam out of my catgirl forehead” is not a sentence I thought I would ever hear in my life.

[@KingFool505]

The most absurd but cool puzzle game concepts with the cover of a fever dream.

[@benjamincurran5799]

I love all sorts of things about this game, from the meme aesthetic to all the cleverly assembled challenges and brainteasers hiding beneath all the colourful imagery. The usage of the compression mechanic is very well done too.

[@joshmidd]

16:49 Worth watching the entire video to hear Tyler say this the way he does.

[@Elleander1]

Turns out, sanity was a limiting factor. Who knew.

[@ashelotl]

PLEASE, I beg you please play more of this, this game looks so cool and I’d love to watch you play it (I would just play it myself but I’m not smart enough to do so)

I’m assuming Tyler went to a set of laser levels by pushing the laser into the portal that were harder then the levels he was supposed to play were (which is why he couldn’t do the challenge levels at all)

For people who didn't watch the whole video. (I don't know why people wouldn't watch a whole Tyler video but ya know) 1. Watch it. 2. "I shoot laser beams out of my cat girl forehead" - best out of context quote ever.

[@lennoxdks9670]

imagine squishcraft combined with baba is you, z = undo and r = reset? nope! z and r were squished together, and now there is only reset, no undo

[@gamedude3005]

Random thing. To what degree can you picture objects? Like can you picture an apple on a basic table? If you can’t you may have Hypophantasia or aphantasia, meaning you literally can’t picture objects in your head. I have it and just remember also saying “I can’t picture things in my head” and thought I would ask.

[@geli95us]

It's surprising just how many people have aphantasia and don't know it, makes me think how many things we might have, that are different from other people, but we can't never know because we can't get inside other people's heads
