[@aegawaergaerga1794]

Break rock with yoyo for many of the “challenging platforming” sections he dealt with XD

[@flying-sheep]

And then he learned it in the hardest room for bubble jumping, off. On the other hand I don’t feel too bad because he effortlessly skipped the cranes that took me way too many attempts to bubble jump past.

not sure id consider matches a childrens toy but yeah or the flute for that matter. thats just an instrument

[@tmmaster6904]

@@dom7899 sorry, meant just the main tools (firecracker, disc, bubble wand, yo-yo, etc.), animal flute definitely counts because it's an animal flute (makes animal noises), not just a regular flute, and you can see the sprite is colourful

[@Zorgdub]

I love how discovering advanced tech early lets him pretty much completely bypass a ton of puzzle rooms.

[@owenhoover4637]

it's even crazier seeing how much can be skipped in the under 4 minute speed runs of this game

[@Maxel53]

It's very interesting to see the pathing Aliensrock took during this game, the slinky was the first item I got, and felt like all that was leading up to it was sort of a "tutorial" in the mechanics. It's neat to see someone getting to what I'd consider to be an early game area with a bunch of mobility unlocked, it's funny to see how much they overthink the screens where you can just walk haha

[@EKAATPT]

Yeah he had frisbee first, I had bubbles first, the game just lets you chill.

[@aa01blue38]

Funny how you experience the game slightly differently based on your first item, many of which are possible

[@cobaltbluesky2276]

it's really cool that this game allows you to unlock different items at different times and take different paths through the world depending on which items you get in what order. it seems like there are multiple ways of getting past the puzzle rooms too also depending on what items you have. it's like you can sequence break a lot of things but nothing actually gets broken, it just works really well

11:30 I had no idea you could solve the room that way. I think the intended way was to drop the chest onto the chinchilla and then get it to carry it to the second trap door.

[@Smoth48]

Note that there are also 2 hidden areas up above where the chest falls down from. Not only are you meant to get up there, but there's even more puzzle to be solved in that room.

[@TheSplunger]

I did it also differently, chinchilla on button, then frisbee across to the trapdoor

[@Echantediamond1]

@@Smoth48its actually one of my favourite rooms just for that

[@MinhNguyen-ti5yb]

I jumped on the chinchilla head right when he fell down. Literally making things harder for myself

[@a-very-uncreative-handle]

the secret bunnies in this game are crazy, some of them are DEEP, putting it in the least spoilery way possible one of them requires you to do something in real life from something you activate in the game

[@MudakTheMultiplier]

I've been told Techraptor is wrong about that one. The method you mentioned just lets you make a cool thing, and the intended solution is the other way they mention.

[@a-very-uncreative-handle]

@@MudakTheMultiplier i might be wrong but iirc they both unlock the same bunny, i always saw the other option as a way to get it if its physically impossible to get it the first way again i might be wrong because i cba'd to get the bunnies yet so i've only heard about it

[@TimTam69420]

​@@a-very-uncreative-handle yeah there are 2 ways to get the bunny to appear. Activate the thing to make your thing do the thing then you can do the thing that gives you the solution. or you can find the solution encoded somewhere else - it still requires you to interact with the game through a very IRL lens to decode though.

[@Zarkawi17]

For anyone who saw the bubble jump and is now trying it, there's (in my opinion) a slightly easier technique than Tyler was using. You can shoot a new bubble BEFORE jumping off the existing bubble. The existing bubble sticks around for a short time, giving you time to jump off it onto the new one. The timing felt a lot easier as you can just roll your thumb from the bubble button right onto the jump button. Not sure how easy that is on keyboard but I'd recommend it for people using a controller.

[@Echantediamond1]

You can just press jump and bubble at the same time, it makes the technique super easy

[@OGRadion]

Absolutely fell in love with the game, thanks to Tyler. The magical moment was misremembering how he played it, and going in the completely other way, unlocking the bubble staff as my first real item. The amount of thought and love the dev put into AW is absurd and I adore every second of it

[@Yokozai]

I've been thinking about this all week, one of my new favorite games played by one of my favorite youtubers! You always put out great stuff and I always look forward to it!

[@24auto22]

5:09 when Tyler finds the "normal" egg, The color of the egg resembles a fundamental part of 3D shader design called a Normal Map I see it so often in my work it thought that he would comment on it, but when he continued I realized how obscure of a joke it really is and just laughed so hard to myself.

11:45 my first though was to get the chinchilla under the chest, drop it on him then have him carry it to you.

[@TheEg-ct1co]

22:00I like how Tyler insists on using 4 different things instead of just the yoyo

[@Kogarana1]

You have to press them simultaneously though, not one after the other, and unfortunately the yoyo can't occupy 4 spots at once

[@benismann]

@@Kogarana1 maybe they stay held for long enough?

[@Kogarana1]

@@benismann Do they? How fast can you swing your yoyo in this game?

[@jackmuir5314]

Pretty sure yo-yo is the intended solution. I just stood on the left switch, faced right, threw my yo-yo without any directional inputs and it just hit the remaining switches in an anti-clockwise motion

[@groovydude6]

Its so interesting how the order in which you get the key items changes how you play. I got the disk last & the b.wand first, so my traversal to this point in the game was very different haha

[@Rubbly]

I started playing Animal Well over this last weekend, what an incredible game! Really looking forward to watching more of you playing this series!

[@ShadwSonic]

Oh nice, he figured out some speedrun tech! _sees room_ Oh crud, he's trying to use it to sequence break a postgame challenge.

[@anonymoususer188]

Oh boy. Two minutes into the video and Tyler's discovered new game breaking tech. I wonder of bubble chaining is intentional or if there's a different powerup that is the intended solution in which case Tyler just found an exploit. I guess the only way to know for certain is to see this game through to the end to find out if a different powerup exists. Either way, chaining bubble jumps for infinite height is very overpowered. Between this and frisbee jumps, you have infinite vertical and infinite horizontal movement. That's insanely powerful in a platformer. Even if chaining bubble jumps is difficult to pull off.

[@JayX7]

i don’t think that one puzzle room is doable without it but hey i’m only watching like you!

[@EugeneYunak]

has to be completely intentional. i won't spoil whether a different powerup exists or not, but this infinite bubble jump thing is so easy to pull off all of my friends figured it out quite quickly. just press three buttons at the same time, done.

[@benismann]

Im 99% sure every interaction in this game is intentional.

[@tigdakid]

Bro people make this game look so easy. I bought and instantly find it so hard.

[@jc_art_]

1: youtuber plays videogames all day everyday for a living, they tend to be better than the average player 2: with editing you can make anything seem like much easier than it probably was (for example the bubble jump spike room we only got to see the deaths, not the actual tries it took to get there) 3: positive mentality can help with difficulty aloott. If you get frustrated at something not going your way, things will start not going your way more and more often. If you accept that its a game and things can go wrong, games become alot easier. Puzzle games and frustration go together like a pepper and fire, if you eat the pepper (puzzle game) on its own it can be tasty, if a bit spicy (challenging), but if you try and eat it with fire (frustration), well obviously youll only get burned and youll lose out on the spicy goodness you wouldve gotten otherwise. Have a nice day, and good luck on your gaming journey!! :D

[@tigdakid]

@@jc_art_ thanks 🙏🏽. Yeah I realised that the fact that it was challenging for me was actually a good thing not a bad thing. I’ve been playing more and been getting better. Sometimes we expect to get things on the first try but that’s just delusional. It just takes a little practice and what seemed hard at first seems easy.
