Thank you for playing my game ^^

[@chocmarshmallow]

How does this only have 1 like

[@voxelbugged]

​​@@chocmarshmallowBecause it was only posted 3 hours ago (it's a great game, by the way)

[@chocmarshmallow]

@@voxelbugged lol how did I not notice that

[@user-zu8vc5ef6w]

I wonder how many more people will give the game a try because of watching Tyler

[@elicenyne]

push is a cute cat

Push: DAISY PLEASE I MISS YOU MEOW DAISY PLEASE Aliensrock: *completely ignores plotline*

[@red__guy]

After his play of Talos Principle 2 I'm not surprised

[@FloofyKarma]

This has plot twists so thick they spring back and smack you in the face

[@lucaspedrazlopez4908]

Not thick enough to get Tyler out of PuzzleSolverMode®

[@Leekodot15]

Actually, I was thinking the plot twists just hit you in the face themselves, no spring back at all.

[@GreedyRadish]

This feels like it’s going to have a sudden horror twist in the second act.

[@NotJustinBieberAnimations]

You mean 3rd?

[@-ZH]

@@NotJustinBieberAnimations Well, the second act is where the horror starts creeping in

[@NotJustinBieberAnimations]

@@-ZH ok thanks But it did say third act on the bottom left

[@DijonFromage]

Yeah it does. (Agreeing with you, not spoilers, I have no idea either)

[@h1p9y56]

​@@NotJustinBieberAnimationsthat is the 3rd chapter, not act.

[@notagoat281]

Ah just a nice, peaceful game about moving a cat around and-oh, wait, no there's an existential crisis.

[@itsxela9617]

I can't imagine designing puzzles while constricted to actual words and sentences

[@GenTheFurredArtist]

4:31 Those heart patterns really look like some of the repeating patterns you can find in Conway's Game of Life.

[@gmdFrame]

Oh, wow. I didn't even notice that!

[@x_540]

Damn it, you beat me to commenting that

[@zackbuildit88]

THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING. Among them is the glider, blinker, toad, ship, tub, and the r pentomino

[@aloysiuskurnia7643]

I see a glider, tub, idk what is that on the top right, R-pento, ship, block, some blinkers

[@zackbuildit88]

@@aloysiuskurnia7643 in the top right is a toad, it's a period 2 oscillator

[@PPeasants]

I'm actually invested in the story of this game, can't say I expected that when I started the video, but I'm glad for it. Would definitely like to see more

[@lovelyy2655]

I’m making a fantheory about push the cat, which is an insane sentence: daisy (anime girl) loved her cat so much that when push got extremely sick she uploaded their brain into a computer so the cat wouldn’t die [hence the computer and mouse line]. the game is going to be a message about letting go because push did not ask for this digital life full of existential dread and conscious thought for eternity and just wants to die happily

[@andrewtalley7015]

Maybe that’s why there were conway’s game of life shaped hearts

[@lunatheluma3804]

Maybe the way they got sick is by eating daisies and that's why it had the daisies are poison thing

[@rileymoore7025]

Anime girls in my block push game?? More likely than you think!

I'm pretty sure this is a cat push game, not the block one you mentioned.

There's something so funny about watching Tyler mechanically solve puzzles in a game that makes me feel like a crazy person. I don't know what's going on. You don't know what's going on. He doesn't know what's going on. But he's going to solve these puzzles.

[@Whenpigfly666]

This game is the embodiment of the "It's been 30 years, you need to let him go" meme.

[@tj12711]

I had no idea what you were talking about, so I tried looking it up with 2 different search engines, but found nothing. This is either a pretty obscure meme that you're referencing, or your description of it is off.

4:36 The hearts look like something that would appear in Conway's game of Life to me.

[@zackbuildit88]

It's a bunch of small patterns of oscillators and spaceships that exist in Conway's Game of Life

[@akmolhuda7997]

9:54 truly a quote of all time

[@user-sp8sw7vt5k]

"Daisies are poisonous to cats" ...Daisy had to put Push down didn't she

[@TheDarkNerd]

Definitely the vibe I'm getting ;_;

[@Zeckenschwarm]

So you're saying... Push is pushing up the daisies?

[@Zalimo4733]

In the scene after that quote, there is a picture of someone feeding pills made of daisies to a cat, which supports your theory

[@vanceschluter5016]

​​@@Zalimo4733thats... a bit from the editors and tyler, not the game, pal

[@jonathansteff845]

You could have left us blissfully ignorant but no, you had to put sad cat thoughts in my mind😢. I hope you know you caused my cat to get an extra hug today.

[@NIMPAK1]

Literally the only thing about this that resembles Baba is the grid-based movement and single color sprites. Wait until Tyler discovers the ZX Spectrum.

[@kannaharuka]

I am invested now you legally have to post part 2

[@danilast7]

I completely hope this game full send it into the keyboard concept and makes mechanics as "control" and "delete" too as the "shift" mechanic 🙏🙏

[@brownie3454]

they don’t really have a choice if making a full game

[@omegahaxors3306]

"Why are you pushing me" So they can get their. Satisfaction.

[@EthanTheWerewolf]

Of corse Push is orange. He may not be a physical cat, but he has the vibes of an orange draped cat (a white cat with an orange cape)

[@diegoalexanderflorestorres1781]

nah, why is a game about pushing a cat making me emotional?! I need to know what happens!

[@White__Ink]

I'm invested in the plot. Kinda curious. If it's only a short series, yes!

The puzzles have lore? Yippee!

[@aspierematch3541]

Well this is one way to force tyler to read the lore XD

[@parthtrap4266]

4:30, About the hearts... reminds me of the special patterns from "Conway's Game of Life". I can see a spaceship pattern and the pattern that repeats in 2-3 cycles too.

[@dinoeebastian]

"QEZC goes diagonal" *Check my keyboard... weird...* Ah, the curse of having a QWERTZ keyboard. Back in the flash-game days I was always confounded why people chose to use the letter between T and U on the keyboard for all their games. That's so impractical. Nowadays I know why - but that doesn't really make it any better if games don't have rebindable keys o-o
