Omg I used to play a game like this when I was younger. Really cool video, I always wondered how the particle simulations worked in those games. And thanks for the kind words, that was really nice :)

[nintenprox]

I love how you explain the process! Even my dumb brain could understand what was going on

[DevNoob]

Haha oh I used to play these kinda games sooo much! Including Explosions and whatnot. Thanks for giving me these good memories 😊

[Keegadorf]

Dude, awesome video!! the source code taught me a lot, i was checking it out to learn some new things in unity. thanks!!

[yoyosarefun]

forget to comment but this game is so fucking pog you really are improving a ton as a game dev man

[ryanwinchy]

Exactly what I've been looking for, so helpful thanks! Was all this tile physics through Unity tilemaps?

[Chadderbox]

This video is awesome! I'm really addicted to Noita at the moment.

[MementoTurtle]

I loved these types of games, I am trying to figure out how i can make one myself

with a few twists

[imdublin]

Finally an interesting video on Youtube

[slob]

I appreciate your Mac port, most people don't think about that

[holymonke]

The game was really fun, especially when I got to make T R E E

[pebegou]

So basically its a falling sand game. Noita's have a rigidbody particle simulation for dropplets wich are re-added to the simulation, and simulated meshes that can interact with the powder toy simulation. Cool implementation tou, just wanted to know if you were using jobs or something. Pure C# seems too slow

[dylanpratt]

I have a good idea for a game with a similar mechanic, but pixel simulation is needed for it to work

[mrlarrydapuppet]

This looks super cool!
How are you drawing the pixels?? (I'm new to unity)
If possible could you maybe link the project? :)

[voidsay]

Shouldn't smoke behave more like inverted water?

[eboatwright_]

I made some stuff like this in PICO-8. :)

[sethxenofightersofficialx]

Hi im seth and im making a super smash bros like game In unity called xenomon the legacy trilogy

[janikcodes]

I would definitly suggest work on performance, so it doesnt look so laggy anymore.

[zolfranktsolfrank]

Powder Toy haven't got moving solids.
Noita haven't got much reactions and sandbox mode.

I've always been wondering if we combine these two legends...

This video is useless and a scam because all you did was say I did this and I did that but didn’t actually show us how you made it I’ve have scoured the internet for the last 2 months and I haven’t found anything telling me how on earth I make a 2d particle simulation like this one
