and this time i want sabotager turrets that disable bombers, stopping them from exploding on death, it also can attack enemies but low damage. bombers are its top priority above all
Blue sends 32 shooters and yellow says "what counters shooters? our weakest possible unit." Blue adds on 32 bombs, and yellow was like "hmm how many of this weakest possible unit should I send in response... hmmm... hmmm... (10 seconds go by) hmmm... hmmm... one."
7:16 love how red got the worst tank possible on the beat drop also it lived from 7:19 to 8:39, so 1 minute and 20 seconds. probably one of the longest tanks that lived
@@glitzyx4x852 look closely! After the explosion of the yellow tanks, only 1 gets destroyed, the other 3 are just thrown back Then 2 of those are destroyed by towers along the way, and the last survivor gets bombed at 10:35
If there's a next time, I'd say weaponry needs to be massively improved for defense, such as a turret that places a wall in the track, which only its own colour can pass through. Likewise a bubble tower which removes a bombs ability to explode. On that same note, if the cannons can be destroyed so easily, they need to be placed far faster, such as doubling how many balls are in the cannon chamber?
Yeah, I don't think that bombs should hurt any ally turrets. And that there should be a unit that acts as a shield for others. Still, amazing idea, mixing up two of my favourite genras of videogames. Have a good one, and stay safe💖
@@dragonofelder5011 It makes them a win more concept that just doesn't make sense. The only way you can gain ground in this game is bombs, but if the enemy is set up all the bombs do is hurt your own. Red/Yellow fell behind and there was never a chance they ever came back. I'm usually not a fan of the always being a super weapon that is the real item that decides the match, but this was way too far in the other direction.
stats: toughness:shows your unit hp speed:how fast your unit can go size:how big your unit can be special:none,cannon,bomb1,bomb2,stealth number of units: how many of them at once (bomb can destroy other cannons,while stealth can only be attacked by cannons.)
Seeing the yellow stealth units holdup blue at 9:00 I wonder could this sort of 'clogging' effect be introduced as a primary facet of another of this sort of 'race'. A sort of tug of war with the cannons there to try to aid their side of the tug of war. Should lend itself to a back and forth, as each side would have more cannons at home till a sort of final push that wins the game.
getting one low stat tended to lead to another and so on, so maybe if you do this again make it alternate every value? (i.e. toughness goes 1,2,3,4,5,6 and then speed goes 6,5,4,3,2,1) otherwise, great as always!!
@@mikan2d can't wait for like a battle where marbles pick many units and their stat modifiers (that slighty change one of their stats) to destroy their base, and when one has a disadvantage, they can spawn a boss with multiple attacks and way stronger than other units
I think to ramp up the intensity faster there should be a point where the weakest options get locked. Like the outer two creeper columns with the lowest numbers.
I don't know how this guy keeps managing to lead the Marble Race dynamic through UA-cam. Easily the most creative of the bunch. Well done, you have subverted my expectations again with content I didn't know I needed.
You could just play this out over and over again, without alteration, and it would be fascinating to watch. Main problem I have is that I don't know what all the cannons do (range, effects, strength, etc.) nor what all the vehicle options are. Second problem I have is that I want to play it.
Definitely my favorites of all time!! I loved the Tower Defense concept. Here are some ideas I had that could be fun: 1: I like that each tower had a max range, but I didn't like that the tower waited until it was aiming before it would shoot. Maybe increase the rotation speed once a unit enters its max range? 2: I didn't really like the friendly fire of the units. If a red bomb blew up, it destroyed red buildings. 3: Adding a large tower as a last line of defense would be awesome as well, one that powered up slowly or unlocked at a later time 4: I loved the upgrading concept for the units, but if the ball stayed left the best unit would come and vice versa for the right side. I would love to see each upgrade stagger something like this: Toughness 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 Speed 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 Size 2 - 4 - 6 - 1 - 3 - 5 Bottom line, this was so much fun to watch! I would love to see more Tower Defense videos! Keep up the good work!
He had to build the game to make the video, so most of the game is already there! But on the other hand, getting a game ready to ship takes so much more effort and fixing of unexpected issues... making game/videos is a fun middle ground between creativity and effort.
9:44 Yellow soldier: captain, their clogging our flight routes! Blue: HOLD THE LINE SOLDIERS Yellow captain: Alright, sending in the big boys. Blue: HOOLDDD THE LIIINNEE
spoiler: red destroyed it's own infrastructure all the time eventually making recovery impossible. there should be a counterpart to bombs like there's a counterpart to invisibility...
This is very nice, I dont think anyone would complain if you ran this multiple times and uploaded them as videos, have a canon defense series like you have some others [ tower / castle destruction series, crane game series, core destruction, etc.]
Hey MIKAN, I'm actually doing game design as a job and I find your videos pretty interesting to watch and observe how the game stakes are shifting I was wondering if you were doing a lot of runs before finding out one that has a lot of thrills and turn arounds or if you just uploaded the first one that works well ? Also, if you're up to, I'll be glad to work and discuss how you could bring more comeback mechanics in your systems to make clutch moments happen more often :D
one thing that might make some waves a little less swingy (assuming you want less swingy) would be to combined the Size & Speed bars into a sliding scale from big+slow to fast+small, and do the same for Special & Number and as for Toughness have it combine with a new Attackpower
There seems to be some kind of bias for the ball to fall through the left side of the column. And since the values for each side are mirrored this gave blue a major advantage.
This one was very entertaining. Me and my girl watch your vids and bet on who wins. These battle ones like this and the tree, are by far our favorites.
This is awesome - reminds me of "Castle Fight", an old map from Warcraft 3. You'd build barracks that auto spawn soldiers to fight for you, as well as towers. This has the same feel. Putting my money on red due to its performance in my last video :P
I'ma bet on red. Once I saw that blue got 32 bombers with high stats, I knew it was all over. Those bombers were by far the most impactful type in this game. Good video.
The concept is overall INCREDIBLE. the only flaw is that you didn't implement the Crisis mode. I think Crisis mode would only be unlocked a few minutes into the game, and it adds an extra ball for the tower creation wheel and only occurs when theres little defending towers on the team
None: Default unit type Attacker: Shoots and damages units Bomb: Explodes when killed, damaging all towers and units caught in the explosion Stealth: Can't be detected by towers or attackers, becomes briefly visible when hit.
There's a distinct bias in this game. The balls have a tendency to be pushed to the left side of the board options for some reason. And yet you have blue's numbers reversed, so being pushed to the left is good for them.
Red was in the lead for the first 6 minutes or so. 5:55 when blue finally got a wave of bombers together is when it finally took the advantage, and dealt the damage from which red never recovered
I can only imagine the amount of times these simulations have to be redone to get to an engaging and interesting result. I'm sure 90% of the time it ends way too fast or it's boring. It's relying on randomness to construct a narrative.
5:52 Oh geez, a fluffy of 16, big, fast, and strong bombers. That was devastating to yellow's defenses. 7:20 Shoutouts to the most disappointing unit yellow created. 14:25 Yeah RIP yellow.
worth the wait mikan! thanks for the incredible marble race! also can you do a second channel where you post past concepts that have a good like to dislike ratio? or just concepts you thought were good? like the mikan2 thing the other guy commented about. such as growing tree, this, ammo mixer core destruction? also a tournament channel where you do tournaments by making a bracket, then doing a concept like multiply and release, and then winners face other winners, and so on until a winner is reached. maybe have it be 2 vids (first round has 32 marbles in one vid then 16, 8, 4, and 2 marbles in the other vid) per tournament. 2 tournaments per week? i think it would be a pretty cool way to keep introducing new concepts while keeping old ones. plus, more content and ad revenue for you, so we’re all happy
You gotta do more of these. Canon defense (tower defense) should have it's own playlist like core destruction and castle destruction. Also it's cool that you really listen to your viewers so thanks for that 👍

size:how big your unit can be

number of units: how many of them at once

lol by the looks of it its more like blues bombers holding up yellows stealth units
I think the clogging is further advanced by the shape of the units being sort of a tessalation.
