Multiply or Release - Boss Battle #1 - Marble Race

Показать описание

In this boss battle, we have a seven versus one situation.

On the boss side, Grayscale- going from white and progressively towards darker greys.

On the players side, we have the seven colours of the rainbow:
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet

Which team will win? Which colours will remain?

Rainbow stats:
- Starting number: 1
- Number increase every 60 seconds
- Starting marbles: 2
- Marbles increase every 30 seconds

Grayscale stats:
- Starting number: 2
- Number increase every 60 seconds
- Starting marbles: 7
- Marbles increase every 30 seconds
- Special: Burst - launches 12 shots of strength starting number. Does not affect current charged shot.

If you're new to Multiply or Release, it is a physics-based game that is played automatically by the computer.
Marbles on the sides of the map run through a track repeatedly to enter either the Multiply or Release triggers.
When entering the Multiply trigger, that player's current shot strength number is doubled. It starts at 1, doubles to 2, then 4, and so on.
When entering the Release trigger, the current shot is fired.

When a shot travels through the grid in the centre, if it enters a block belonging to an opposing colour it will change that block to its own colour and reduce its current number by one. Thus the number is how many blocks on the grid a shot will convert.

If a shot enters a player's cannon (the small white square around each player), that player is eliminated.

When two shots of opposing teams hit each other, they subtract their numbers from each other, effectively eliminating the smaller shot and reducing the strength of the bigger shot.

Yellow was the hero that held off the attacks even after their own death. Truly, a savior many can only dream of.

Btw, thank you for always putting so much effort in your every video. I can only imagine how hard it might be to not only code everything, but to also balance it all to make randomness "fair".

yellow was a real guardian angel at the end, without yellow, white would have won

I really didn't expect the rainbow marbles to pull through, but yellow managed to buy enough time for Blue to charge the killing blow. That was insanely close.

I *love* how the rainbow marbles wont just lay down their own color all the time, but rather the color of the nearest allied cannon! (like how yellow's marble was laying down green and blue tiles)
makes the teams feel more coordinated and the board feel less cluttered! ^_^

4:20 The ultimate tragedy is Yellow firing off a *Big Shot* and then immediately dying without even realizing they missed the boss anyway.

Very well done, the boss has the advantage of high pressure, but rainbow has the advantage of more chances to charge a killing shot

This felt like watching a short seven-episode anime

- Episode 1: Red. You're introduced to all the characters and their relationships, the setting etc. They grey threat is introduced as an amorphous mass, it's a thinly veiled "removing color from the world" metaphor, yadda yadda. The team has only recently been assembled It's explained that grey is powerful, but between the seven of them they should be strong enough to clear it out. Red, already hotheaded, concludes from this that they'll have no trouble. They become overconfident, and ultimately get killed in a surprise twist at the end that sets the tone for the rest of the series. (Note: A lot of characterization and minutiae would need to be added on top of this plot skeleton)

- Episode 2: Orange. Red wasn't really that popular, mostly keeping to themselves and Orange who has been affected the worst by Red's death. They develop a worrisome self-sacrificing streak, jumping in to protect Violet when they were at significantly more risk themselves. This culminates in a mixture of lack of care for their own well-being and failure to properly compensate for Red no longer being in the formation; they expect Red to support them against the attack, but when they look and are reminded that their friend is dead simply slump to the ground and let the attack hit them while Yellow looks on helplessly. Blue being pessimistic but analytical becomes a notable point.

- Episode 3: Violet. Having witnessed the death of two of the most lively team members, Yellow takes it upon themselves to rally the rest of the team. Five is still a decently sized team, but only if they work together. This immediately pays off as Violet rushes to Blue's defense just in time for them to team up against what would otherwise have been a lethal attack. With a little chemistry and interaction sprinkled in between them that's been hinted at in earlier episodes (Blue being painfully shy, Violet being heavily protective) the team begins to stabilize...until a sudden, unexpected wave of attacks takes out Violet.

- Episode 4: Indigo. By this point, a character death per episode has become the established formula and four seems too few for the team to prevail. The first turning point occurs when Yellow discovers a secret power that might allow them to turn the tide; the problem is that it renders the user incapacitated for a long period before it becomes charged, something that (again) they will need to work together in order to mitigate. Yellow begins charging and the others rally to defend; it goes well, with the team creating a defensive buffer while Yellow concentrates, but Indigo leaves themselves overexposed. It doesn't seem to matter as the attack is loosed, but then before it can hit home the grey performs one last vengeful strike, taking out both Yellow and Indigo in their seeming moment of triumph. The episode ends with only Green and Blue left alive and the grey's fate uncertain.

- Episode 5: Yellow. It's revealed that the shot only severely wounded the grey rather than killing it. Blue (who is highly observant despite appearances, and in something of an emotionless fugue by this point) immediately begins charging another strike the same way Yellow did (albeit with no idea what to do with it) but the grey seems to turn Yellow's shot back against them, shocking, distracting, and despairing Blue who drops their charge prematurely and is nearly taken out by a counterattack before Green hears Yellow's voice, still cheerful in spite of everything, encouraging them as the giant ball of energy swings around behind them for another pass at the grey. Blue attempts another charge, but a flashback to Violet's death and the seeming hopelessness of the situation interrupts her again. The yellow attack swings past Blue this time, with a much lengthier conversational sequence; Blue feels inadequate and useless and like Violet died because of them, Yellow tells them it wasn't their fault and that they've always been the smartest out of all of them; surely they'll figure something out. Flashback to Yellow's shot initially missing, and Blue realizes...something, just as the episode ends.

I’m glad there are YouTubers carrying on the spirit of Marble Racing since Carykh doesn’t really do them anymore. You, Mikan, and Carson Jay are saviors of the sport and I applaud you.

Yellow: sacrificed hero
Blue: second hero

Blue really threw a spirit bomb

I really feel like hitting a bonus marble space after being eliminated should bring the player back into the game.

I love how you made the colors more bright and vibrant!

I always root for white in all the different marble competitions across youtube, and Here was white's time to shine instead of always performing mediocre. But then yellow comes in nearly gets the killing blow and then buys enough time for blue to charge the killing shot. Proving once again that no matter what video they are in white hasn't found an advantage they can't somehow screw up.
