I’m also noticing it seems to help you save pieces. I’m always expending tons of pieces to get another townsfolk, but this video has me thinking maybe I don’t need to
@@ReverendAnthony i won and got the cherry while having like 12 villagers you just have to assess the situation so like if the only way to get to the other side of the board is spending a lot of pieces you cut the losses
@@gooseminecraft2499I think getting a few townspeople early on would push the run further - with 4 townspeople, you could leave 4 demons alive per turn instead of 2! It's definitely pretty RNG, but it should work.

my favorite UFO 50 game! doesn't get nearly enough love
Am I just supposed to remember the blast patterns for the pieces?
@@Grim528 the game tells you when you hover over them and when you have them selected, but for the speedrun it definitely helps to have them memorized
@@gooseminecraft2499 oh so once you place them, you can hover over them on the board? Didn’t know that. Thanks
@@Grim528 ah, no unfortunately after you place them you do just have to remember what they do
@@gooseminecraft2499 that’s my main issue with that game lol. Maybe I’ll just man up and focus on
@@Grim528Their designs tell you exactly what they do, maybe just remember the frog explodes two tiles away
Nice! I’m assuming Ruby is ending the run with ten townspeople. That’s what I’m trying to do and I fall apart around round 7-8. Good game though
@@CorpusFisty actually the red cartridge is just score based! the best way to get a high score is to use as few pieces as possible
@@gooseminecraft2499 Oh thank god! This will be my 10th Ruby let’s go
@@gooseminecraft2499 I got it!! Thanks!
Why did I keep calling it ruby lmao
Are you intentionally leaving two townspeople alive every time? If so, why? I’ve been banging my head against this game for three days to no avail.
@@ReverendAnthony kinda, im trying to end each round as soon as possible

@@ReverendAnthony took me 4 tries i didnt realize you could cancel after picking a piece that helps
