I agree with the comment he read out. It’s not min/maxing the game. It’s simple math and problem solving. He rerolled the heal hoping it would save him and was still “fricked” when it went bad but even a max roll would have done nothing.

I was about to rewatch this, but then the music gave me flashbacks

[PruneauYT]

Watching it on stream was quite the exercise in keeping sane whilst the music was slowly turning our brain into jelly!

Olexa: " You are asking me to min/max? It's OK. I promise. We are probably going to be OK."
Narrator: We were not, in fact, going to be OK.

It took four minutes and it already feels like Tyler purely accidentally has beaten me up and shipped me in a cardboard box to the nearest shitty hospital

[Kiever_Sloane]

You shouldn't be ending levels on such low health. You have everything set up, min max the cards, then die in one hit before you can set things up in the next level. Once you have the enemy where you want them stay a while and heal. (also I cheated and put the game on mute)

This game is the most fun purgatory I've ever experienced.
Also, I feel like the way to win is to use dice to improve your cards and health in the first two rounds. If you're lucky, you'll get a "bigger die" from your first or second card pick and can use that to improve your cards even more. Then, hopefully with about 20 max health and 20 point heals you can win. If you really wanted to min-max, you could use dice to reroll your other dice cost until it rolls 1. Would be neat to see this expanded into a larger game, but I'm sure balancing would be an utter NIGHTMARE.

Insanity is the definition of doing the same thing, thinking it will do something *different.*

[muginc]

I think something it need if it tries to go further is maybe simply more content :
more cards that do interesting things ( a lot of potential imo)
one idea is a reroll that lets you change two values
ways to draw and block also may be interesting
and some better way to get the cards, where the choice has more depth to it

@41:43 The face of a man finally free from insanity.

[DOOFydoo]

I'm only 4 minutes into this and I'm already loving this game and concept! So wild!

[CommanderInQuack]

What a wild ride. there were plenty of times I was muttering into my screen begging him to at least try to roll the large die when he was at 1, but the end result was amazing. loved the content so much!

[wily]

Chat be like: eeehhh Tyler just "be gooder"

[SunshineCo]

The flute still lives in my head. It's been a fucking week and it still haunts me the moment I close my eyes. It's insane. This game was just alright lmao

[jasminecole]

Love this! The look of these game is awesome, I adore how it plays with the reroll mechanics.

[SunDry_Marchy]

25:55 YOU WERE ROLLING A D6 MOST OF TIMES TO TRY TO BUFF YOURSELF
D6

[SunDry_Marchy]

41:43 I literally melted the very same way off my chair under the desk

[edencelestia]

But you could use the d20 to potentially heal when needed, when at 3-4 hp try it at least lol

[vikasvanga]

Simple mechanic that makes the game more friendly, make the dice roll first then make the choice where to use the dice.

[joostvandenoord]

This shit is maddening to watch. Masterful.
