It's just like one of those ads where they tease you with a simple mechanic and show you a performative nonsensical fail to get you to buy it. Genius advertising.

Picks the worst possible spot to lay a tile then says, "smartest man who ever existed", killing me. 🤣

[@jordanalbareed]

I came to the comments exactly as he did this. He was messing up the tiles so much I had an aneurysm

[@paulunga]

We're NL guys, of course we're ready for an unusually high energy sponsored segment.

[@Ishsa]

Of course we switch characters for the ads! (I actually don't mind it though cause it's easier for me to tell the difference between his paid and genuine takes)

[@Nikowo1610]

​@@IshsaYou can know for sure when it's an actually good game vs just an ad, especially if he does more unsponsored streams for it (knockout city was absolute peak)

[@OpinionatedSkink]

NL blocking off the land routes so the boss doesn't spawn, then blocking off all routes so that the game ends before hitting day 10, will certainly go down as one of the moves of all time. Hope he continues to play it for another stream maybe.

[@styleszachary6196]

holy shit lmao i thought you were trolling up until that last match

[@Sw33tR0llThief]

More devs should be sponsoring NL to play their games. Theres something about how badly he plays that makes me NEED to buy the game to play it better

[@MerkSig]

im getting into game dev stuff and thats legit one of the best ways to get your game out there. like balatro was expected to be a small release but because NL and a few other creators it blew up massively. i try not to play the same game as NL or else my Type A chat energy starts showing im a Type A hiding as a Type B, like watching him throw a run away in Wildfrost from the one move out of 40 that kills you hurts my soul so i gotta keep that Type A chat energy locked down.

NL rolled a zero on spatial hex tile visualization

[@MBoy2000_]

Nah man, straight up a negative 20. My man cannot understand what pieces exist 2 nanoseconds after just placing said piece and its baffling. Can remember every actor under the sun but the line is drawn at shapes

[@suishcat9407]

We are rogulite inside of a tower defense game enjoyers, of course we hex our guardians

[@SirValoso]

His lack of imagination for shapes and how to use them to close loops is fascinating. Like that one t piece is obviously great because you just need two sharp turns to close the loop but he never notices it. But on the other hand I lose to a chess AI that's only thinking two turns ahead

[@timmy69690]

Hes so good at making us want to buy the games.

[@goldhypercurve6373]

Man has had me buying games since enemy unknown. It's always dangerous when he plays a new game.

[@AntiVectorTV]

He went from not seeing the boss by dying too much to not seeing the boss by literally making it impossible for the game to spawn any more enemies.

[@fahlgorithm]

2:03:28 the greatest salesman of all time. I just stopped watching to buy the game because he's doing everything so wrong.

[@mango5866]

we're tiles guys, of course we end lineages.

[@grit1]

You ever notice how every genre seems to have a roguelike these days?

[@krehera]

Roguelite is a good flavor of game; every genre deserves a roguelite take on it.

[@Nikowo1610]

Are there cozy farming sim roguelikes yet? I don't think cult of the lamb quite fits that category

[@g76agi]

​@@Nikowo1610maybe rune factory? Its not too much roguelike though

[@MerkSig]

Every game deserves roguelike features because they inject a sense of unpredictability and excitement into gameplay, keeping players engaged and offering fresh experiences with each playthrough. Its the easiest way to make people play games longer and as long as you're progression is good you are off to the races.

[@Bestyja]

I wonder how much longer he will keep the lebron bit, im betting either 2 weeks or its here to stay forever

[@yoshiwaffles6682]

His ending the lineage and his best routes is crazy while the boats are right there

[@mrgreen497]

Oh yea. Rogue Tower exists, i wonder how that game turned out

[@GakisStylianos]

It still exists 😅

[@Naomi_NZ]

i fuckin love this guy

[@cyanthrope]

two genres I always wanted to see married. Can't believe it took this long, I must have missed something like this in the past

[@Iron_Maniac]

Rogue Tower which NL also played a bunch of is basically the same as this

[@MerkSig]

@@Iron_Maniac Rogue Tower is great but the graphics are a huge eye sore it screams "this is is a students first engine project" its got pretty amazing gameplay outside of that though. i hope we hop on the the correct timeline and go towards roguelike and roguelite tower defense games. that shit would get me bricked up. give me more games like Hades, Rogue Tower, Slay the Spire, Wildfrost, Balatro, and less of Cyberpunk release, Suckfield(aka Starfield), Fallout 76 release, Dragons Dogma 2 release, Cities Skyline 2 release state. all the games are completely different genres the genre isn't important its the content within and Roguelikes offer great engaging content where as DD2 for example was a 20FPS slide show for most of the game even on state of the art hardware or in Starfields case it was procedurally generated empty fish bowls with a super hallow story and item customization/crafting.

[@ska4dragons]

Closing off all routes actually damned your society to isolation and slow regression into poverty and savagery.

[@josiahogilvie1736]

I think it has to be in the contract for nl to be just a little bit ass. Im buying this when i get home 😂

[@lucianoprokilla]

Starting the vid off with the lebron james scream meme, this gonna be a good one boys

[@enchilottas8690]

I caved and just bought the game with your link because it looks so damn fun lol

[@benprange7689]

You gotta try Emberward! Tetris block, maze building tower defense

[@Montracht]

No offense to the developers but its harder for me to think about a tower defense without rougelike elements, even 10 years ago on that mobile tower defense everyone played with heroes you would unlock new tier to your defenses and unlock new heroes, even the building path thing is very common nowadays iirc it was even in the last tower defense NL played where you built your own road and every tile was a square instead of the hexegons.

[@xanianjamfalcon]

Seems cool but the aesthetic is kinda uninspiring. Would love to see texture change mods like Minecraft. I wonder if yogscast has heard of it.

[@chaserichardson4293]

Hooollly that was fun

[@Datharass]

This man forever shittin on Ohio lol... look we get it, lot of dumb stuff going on here. Egg about to make Ohio famous.

[@MrMpa31]

Hmm, saw a guy a couple years ago trying to develop a game just like this. I wonder if he gave up.

[@XxZeldaxXXxLinkxX]

As a shape rotator I was getting tilted through most of the video, but boy the ending relief was so satisfying.
