I love Tyler not understanding R and brute forcing the puzzles by going around the long way
what does it do?
R seems to multiply the next rune by 3, stacking additively- so RR is 6, RRR is 9, etc.
In other words, any use of AAA is replaceable with RA for one less rune
@@elementgermanium well RAAA can't be replaced with RRA
@@randomclips9715 Fair point
@@randomclips9715
I think
RAAA would be 5 A’s-(RA)AA => (3A)AA
RRA would be 9 I think? - (RR)A => (3)(3)A
they gave him R to shorten the words and he’s out here writing whole books to solve puzzles
OH GOD SOMEBODY STOP TYLER BEFORE HE REWRITES THE ENTIRETY OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS IN QUARTERNARY FORMAT
He doesn't even use Tab to edit this book but just rewrites it.
@@nati0598 im pretty sure he totally missed that mechanic and doesnt know he even can
@@Rainbow_Sheep i couldn't get it to work
@@treeplate512 It's unintuitive, you have to hold tab for a long time
Tyler has taken many forms over the years, from rabbits, to monsters, and even the very plane of existence. But this, a cat block, is the best.
And also squish-able Tyler rectangles of different sizes composed of varying quantities of Tyler.
A cat block that referenced Call of Duty of all things!
wait, plane of existance, what video/game was that?
@@pipecleanermaster Baba is You
@@pictureplanet1 thank you
I love how utterly incomprehensible Tyler is when solving these
yeah
He picked up another language in this video. Despite my presence, I did not.
@@mooman1017 your comment summed up my experience with this video completely. I was baffled, impressed, and felt dumb as a brick all at the same time
It was almost like he was reading out DNA.
ATCGGGCCTATAATCGGGCG
@@mooman1017 You described his whole channel in a sentence.
I find it absolutely fascinating how some ideas Tyler just "gets" while I have no idea what's going on until multiple videos later, while other ideas that seem so intuitive to me take him a while to pick up on. Brains are so weird and cool I love how complicated people are

The moment Tyler went cracracra and cracracra’d over all the runes was my favorite part of the video
You know it's a good puzzle game when Tyler lets out a "Nooo!" when he finds out that it was only a demo
I'm a bit suprised Tyler didn't notice R making the effect of the next letter triple
That's what it does??? I honestly couldn't figure it out for myself.
6:20
well, he did. sort of
@@GeekyGroup13 It performs the action of the next letter twice, but then since they letter is next it does its effect, leading to the tripling.
For example R A
Is AA A
and R R A
is AAAA AA A
@@Boomerkbom57 I don't think that's right or else rrca wouldn't go straight down
@@Boomerkbom57 R's function is actually to additively increase the next non-R rune by 3. so RA = A*3, RRA = A*6, and RRRAAA would be A*11 or (AAA) + (AAA) + (AAA) + A + A
i wonder what developer woke up and decided to make a game about a tall cat block solving puzzles in hieroglyphics
those are not hieroglyphics i don't think.
@@sergey1519 Not even close. They're just regular latin letters in an unusual font
@@sergey1519 it was a joke, but ok
This is the closest we'll ever hear Tyler say Ara Ara
You pronouncing the names made this infinitely more entertaining.
There's also the game "Missing Translation", where you have to figured out the language. Tyler should give it a try
All I know is that little dew has some amazing puzzles and secret stuff, some secrets not being puzzle related but really hard dumb stuff, and tunic has amazing puzzles for a true ending type thing, both games are absolutely amazing
I really liked Ittle Dew 2, but I never got around to buying 1
It would be really cool to see him play tunic, but he said in his hyperbolica video that he despised adventure games.
I'm pretty sure R means repeat, and yet Tyler is still good enough at puzzles that he's doing fantastic without knowing what it means
2:49 Best editor's mark EVER. I nearly got Chef Boyardee up my nose. Well Played.
Imagine not deciphering mysterious runes
oh man I hope when the game comes out the mechanic of going back and getting shorter solutions matters, that's really cool design
nothing like an aliensrock video to fall alseep to, love your content!
That cat block is AMAZING.
Might be a fun fact: the button prompts from the tutorial, i am 99% sure it's from Xelu's free button prompts, who is the founder of Those Awesome Guys, which made Move or Die!
This game is so cool, so excited for the full release
Could definitely try drawing the line as tyler places the runes to get a better picture of the meaning, though editing that in would definitely be a major pain in the neck that is totally understandable to not do.
Meanwhile, new Tyler mating calls are great, can't wait to see what new pronounciations will unfold when the game gets further developed on
Watching this is a trip, I'm not even sure I really understand, but... I watch it cause it's Tyler! Amazing content as always!
This gives me some moment valley vibes, I hope there's more puzzles added
I knew one day Tyler would become insane, and today is the day
him not realizing you can press tab to get the previous thing is funny to me
Tyler interpreting the runes reminds me of the Oreo meme
orerereeerereo
R meaning 3x (since you never called it out) is a creative function. and the synergy with reversing a 90 degree rotation into 270 kinda smart.
Edit... Multiple Rs stack additionally fellow comments (at 4:20)
RRCA goes down by 1. so (3x)+(3x) X (90degrees) (A)
Yeah, doing that instead of having a counterclockwise rune or just no better option than 3x clockwise gives me high hopes for the game design
This game looks great, can't wait for the full release
Once the full game is out, please use tab to input your previously inputted line in 1 press
(Spoilers for Runes Decoding)
A= Moves 1 unit to the North (The A shaped as an Up arrow)
C= Turning a corner 90° clockwise (C being curvey as in turning)
R= Repeats a Rune after the letter 3 times (R being repetition and probably coincides with how many strokes to make R itself)
N= Basically does a combination of 2As and a C after (Hence the vertical lines and the rotated line making N itself)
N is because it does a knight's move, and N means knight in chess notation (because K is taken by the king)
N=AACA
A is just moving in the direction you are moving in.
Tyler you brute forcing the R just made my day
alternate title: Tyler trying to read for the first time in his life
Hey man congrats on over 500k subs! :D
Little did he know that he would later learn 5 languages and save a tower.
I got the game and experimented, and I think R actually adds double the letter in front of it to the action, essentially x3 of that letter. So RA is moving 3 spaces, so it is equal to AAA, and RC is turning counter-clockwise (right) instead of clockwise (left) for just C, and it is SUPER useful for the 'No CC's' area. N would be like a Knight chess piece, and it would be equal AACA, and then RN would be AACAAACAAACA, or 3 N's.
Just giving you tips :)
9:40 is the moment Tyler said Arcana.
The Arcana is the mean by which all is revealed
Would love to see this whole game on yout channel! Lobe the puzzle game content.
And i really love the puzzle game content if it holds many secrets
Tyler's blatant avoidance of certain mechanics, like using tab for example, added to the comedy of the video.
I need more of this is just feels so right
Keep it up Tyler !
Listen to this without watching the video.
Also, maaaan, I genuinely wanna see this as a whole game.
that mating call was somewhat majestic
I really need more of this game, very very cool and creative
at least you didn't had to sacrifice yourself up to yourself for this runes
Tyler, have you tried Filament? I feel like this game would be perfect for you/the channel, the puzzles are awesome and it's in a way rather similar to games like The Witness (open structure, secrets, great design, etc.)
He did, but it was cancelled.
@@TheFunfighter Ah, really? Dang.
Well, thanks for the note!
at 10:09 youre also able to type RN instead of NNN to save a letter
Tyler is puzzle man fr
hmm, it seems like R doesn't actually reverse things, it just multiplies the next symbol by 3. So in the case of a 90 degree turn, that's equivalent to 90 degrees the other way. Double R just bumps up the multiplier, so 6 times the next symbol, that's why rrc goes backwards. 540 degrees is the same as 180 degrees
Would love to see you play Tunic, I think the game suits your taste and content style
The reason it’s a cubic cat is because it’s using the free Unity asset Pixel Art Top Down - Basic. It’s a great asset pack so I feel like it should be more known :)
"this game has secrets"
"thought thered be more"
what if there was more?
*vsauce music*
I love how his brain is 10 times bigger than ours
love how the game givesa tutorial to reuse a used word and tyler just entirely ignores it and retypes it every time
Tyler enjoyed this game and it obvious. We need more
You should play more of the devils calculator it was very fun to watch
I was waiting for him to summon some eldrich creature when he'd pronounce the runes. XD
I really hope you read this. I got recommended this game, "Night of thr Full Moon". A deck building card game. Amazing story and gameplay. SO MUCH CONTENT. Different characters, story lines, interactions. Even if you don't play it on stream/YT, it's well worth playing in your downtime. On steam and mobile. FREE. There is dlc. Generally a great game.
I played this game yesterday night, it's so good I love it
Tyler is very TH-cam for being able to figure this out
as far as I can tell, what R does is it makes the next rune's effect occur 3 times instead of just one - so for example, RA makes it go forward 3 times, where as RC makes it turn in the opposite direction
Note that R does not multiply with itself though - it adds. So RRA goes forward 6 times (useful in the second puzzle to save another letter)
3:42 hear tyler say ara ara for 3 minutes
Anyone else starting to hear Lady Ga Ga while Tyler was playing this?
This was a really cute one!
Oh now this, this is really cool
Witness intensifies
When I saw this I had to try out the game for myself.
I got the runes down to 86, but after I watched half the video I could shave off three more runes.
People in the game comments claimed 81 was possible, so good luck if you try it out!
i can say with confidence i actually couldn't follow along with the thought process this time.
I thought I was so good with only 100 runes used but yeah...
also you can save one extra rune with the stumpy pillar as RCRNACA
also also holding tab lets you return to last typed rune line so you don't have to re-write long runes
Can't wait for the full game where the solution to one of the puzzles is YMCA
I went and played this before continuing the video and got in the 100s on first playthrough. After getting N (which took me a very long time to understand since I thought it was affecting the letter on the left and right of it for awhile.) I brought it down to low 90s and then watched the video playing along to see if I missed anything. Tyler brought me down quite a ways, In particular I didn't understand how on the final puzzle Tyler got one lower than me I had CACNACAANRRCCN (you can also do RC on the final two letters) while Tyler had CACNNANARRCACN. I eventually realized the second N in the NN pair in Tyler's answer was giving a free rotation which is why the AC in my answer was worse even though you spend one extra letter later in the better answer.
In the end I got 85, I think from RRA instead of an RARA.
8:45 NCACANN shaves 1 off
9:15 NNAARN shaves 1 off
10:10 RCRNACA shaves 1 off
10:30 RCACNNANNRAN shaves 2 off
My total used is 81, 5 better than Tyler
Seems the lowest possible with just the demo runes but if you find better solutions reply with time stamp associated
pov: saw this mere seconds after it was uploaded
-first, -*_-motals-_*
damn comments took to long to load >:(
The runes Tyler, what do they mean? Tyler!
THE RUNES MASON!
This was amazing
Tyler, your puzzle solving skills trully amaze me, but how didn't you notice that r just does whatever is on its right twice?
Thrice*
I'm not a grandmaster puzzler myself, but I'm pretty sure the construction "R(X)" means "Do X three times".
Day 44 of asking Tyler to cosplay as a Peglin for his loyal fans
halfway trough and im already lost lol
Tyler playing this game sounds like me trying and failing to pronounce Aarakocra
I played this game, and I was thinking you should too
Funny to see this asset-pack in a Tyler video! Just as I've been learning Godot hahah
6:36 >can I solve the gravestones
"tyler at a funeral"
I'm dying
help
Tyler sounds like he's having a stroke while playing this 🤣🤣🤣
You should try out La Mulana it's a puzzle based metroidvania with very intricate puzzles
I was waiting for tyler to understand R and have the A-HA moment because R is a pretty simple instruction, but i'm not gonna spoil it for tyler (even though other comments probably have(
all letters:
a: forward 1 space
c: turn right
r: 3x spaces
n: forward three spaces then move 1 space right
In future episodes it would be nice to edit in the path as you are typing the runes to make it more understandable what you are doing
Fascinating puzzle game! Definitely would need more restrictions or only be able to use a subset of your letters for future puzzles as more things are added. Will be looking out for if this is made into a full game. Got my solutions down to 83 and then found that others have pushed it to 81
0:15 rip michi
С is turn right, RC is turn left, RA is 3*A, RRA is 6*A
I managed to optimize it down to 83, and 81 after watching your video :)
The last one I got in 12 to your 14, otherwise just 1 here or there
Hmm I just can't figure out how to get the last one down to 12, I can only get it to 13
I will say that as cool as an idea for a game that this is, it would be greatly benefitted by slightly more tutorials for what the runes do, idk just my thoughts, maybe a grid option as well for people who can't judge distances like that that well
It seems that R multiplies the following rune by 3
cat player. already very good. yes. cat.
Him saying ara ara is interesting
A fun little game :)
*pixel puzzle game exists*
Tyler: Not on my watch
understand if it was good
