I love all the Aliensrock puns made by chat. My favourites include: "Go to the swamp, get eaten by alienscroc", "Park your spaceship on a pier, call it aliensdock" and "Put the back-seaters in jail with an alienslock". Truly amaizing!
3:01:40 the first two rules indicates that a black cell needs exactly two neighbors. 3:06:50 not quite a snake since it would still have its head and tail. we need a loop. but yeah Tyler basically got it from 3:08:13 and so on.
I'm thoroughly enjoying the vod right now. this game is so good.
Can confirm, i usually dislike "Top X videos / tier lists" but your top 10 was very good. Gameplay, explanation, memes, straight to the point, no useless fluff.
"It wasnt telling me I was wrong" the only times it does is whe you break a rule, it just so happened that every other time you were wrong you were /obviously/ wrong and broke a rule directly.
After playing this a while and watching his stream and also the VOD i've realize we are two different players. Tyler is way better at the logic puzzles, 0 guessing, and so on and can spot logical patters and solve them way quicker then me by far, however I am far faster and quicker at solving spatial puzzles. Rings for example have been incredibly easy to me, i haven't found one yet that i haven't solved near instantly and watching him on a few of the harder ones i am like how do you not see it, also the seer ones i just know near instantly where i need to stand and look, finding rings, matching pairs, and the line up those balls to form a circle are all so easy they don't feel like a puzzle or challenge to me so far.. However some of the hard puzzle boxes probably take me 10x amount of time as him and puzzle i hate the most are match 3's, i feel like in match 3's i'm just brute force trying every combination until i get i, i simply can't visualize every move in those games, i can barely even think 2-3 moves ahead let alone see what order to do match 3's in to solve the puzzle. I wonder if this is a genetic thing or just have different experiences in the past that shapes how well we handle different puzzle types. I honestly didn't know until watching him play that most logic cub puzzles can be solved without guessing! I was going by intuition + guessing and not understanding why there is a bonus in game for doing them perfectly which seemed impossible but now i understand how watching him do them, wow. Back in day when i took an IQ test my strongest ability by far was spatial awareness so i guess that IQ test had some merit to it.
You're usually so good at these puzzles but that 5star one "I can't find the clean logic" except the only thing youre even looking at at all is the top right, yeah no shit if oyu dont consder 3/4 of the puzzle youre not gonna find the logic on a hard ass puzzle
3:36:19 my problem is this is how i solve all the harder ones of the logic puzzles, i see some patterns that may work and i try them, if doesn't i start over, but then this breaks the thought that all these could be solved without guessing, however solving them without guessing seems to require an insane amount of knowledge or memorization to think far enough ahead to know for sure each block you place is 100% correct, that's just way too difficult for me but sadly it means i almost never get a perfect completion except on easier puzzles like 2 stars for example. I guess there is logic we just aren't thinking of or is easy to spot that we are missing but on hard puzzle like this, i think it's way faster to solve by guessing for me at the start and seeing if rest fills in but maybe that's the "lame" way to do it, haha.
I noticed you were missing a lot of hidden cubes around the start of the stream. (Currently 10 minutes in so no idea if you have done this) What I did is I have my master and sfx set to 100 each and music at 5. It is quite loud however whenever you can hear a hidden cube you can and will notice it. It probably works without them both on 100, but I like to be extra certain I dont miss anything. Happy puzzling!

43:32 is that a cave in the cliff face? Underground puzzles??
That final puzzle is epic.
You should put your schedule on twitch as well in case anyone is looking there!
That "top 10" puzzle video thumbnail needs a bit of a rework, I didn't know it was your video at first.
What if
You wanted to go to heven
but god was like
"You must get closer"

i did skip to the end but wowowowow that ending mystery puzzle is very nice!

I can't believe I just sat down and watched a 5 hour vod
this was such an entertaining experience to binge, thank you tyler
Oh boy, the 100% speedruns will be bonkers.

tyler chasing the echo is the most entertaining thing about this

4:26:31 noooooooooooooooo, 25 perfect score no mistakes broken.
Damn, i thought the stream was today 😔
I want this game but i dont have enough money on steam for it
Tyler talking saying how the one 5 pip logic puzzle was “a 3 max” sounds exactly like a rock climber talking about how a route is rated wrong 😂
