    18:23 I think this is a damageless solution:
    1. Add 21 + 7 to make 28
    2. Attack enemy 28 with 28
    3. Triple 6 to get 18
    4. Divide 18 with enemy 32 to make enemy 1 (since 32/18=1.778 which truncates to 1)
    5. Attack enemy 1 with 4, creating a corrupted 3
    6. Attack corrupted 3 with 3

    I would love to see how this was developed, as in, how the enemies HP is calculated based on your current squad. It seems like there is something going on there that dynamically changes based on what you choose, otherwise it would be way too easy to make a situation where you cant win without taking HP.
    Would be fascinating to see a devlog on how all that was done.

    • @_chadrose
      @_chadrose 6 місяців тому +22

      My bet is that it has a list of possible numbers (the soldiers you have) and also a list of possible equations (scrolls and abilities), then it just randomly combines stuff until it gets multiple big numbers (all the enemies). That way there's always a guaranteed solution, or at least that's how I think it would've worked

    • @bumdum33
      @bumdum33 6 місяців тому +40

      I'm the gamedev : I started algebrawl as a perfect puzzle solver where ennemies HP were indeed calculated to fit a random squad. But It was boring and slow, because, if the player know a perfect answer exists, he will spend a large amount of time to find it, killing the fun. So I changed it to a roguelike, with levelup options VS ever-growing monsters. It can technically lead to impossible level ( Shotgun King also ) but they're most of the time the result of bad progression choices.

    Does it generate enemy numbers based on your possible moves? I mean, if you have only 2, 3 and 4, and could only multiply them, enemies should have either 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24?
    For me it seems it does, so you can never get an unfair match up, as the whole point of this is not to "beat an enemy", but to "match a number for each wave". Then, the strategy should be to go for easy calculations, like having multiple mice with the same number
