Wall World Is Way Better Than I Hoped It Would Be! 

rare to see the multiple intros

Also thought you should know the developers added you to this game as a cave dweller in one of those random tiny caves.

Your comment on structures in the mine got me interested in brain popping an idea. Something like a “flinger” that you can place down and it launches resources in a set direction. Launch yourself as well, if you’re reckless enough. Maybe have the mine require a structure like an “outpost” and you have to choose between that and a turret. With an outpost, you gain the ability to place structures in the mine. When you’re done with a mine, you could have the outpost recycle the structures for a portion of their cost.

"There's no warning when next wave comes" when it's literally fills in bottom left.

Needs green to heal, finds green proceeds not to heal...Man this is anxiety inducing...Finally heals, yes you'll live relief! Immediately gets ganked, away from support towers and the boss rocks up and is like "Escape? No no no..." This rollercoaster of ups and downs is too much.

"There is no way to tell how long between waves" My sir have you checked the purple bar in the bottom left?

27:20 I've reviewed this scene several times now and for the life of me I can't tell what hit you here.

"Also *DAYUM* " 😂😂😂 Good lord that caught me of guard

I'll be honest, seeing the ads for this game made me a bit annoyed, but seeing the actual gameplay has made me change my mind. This is a pretty nice game.

I don’t know how he does it but I pass out whenever I watch his videos. Just so god damn peaceful god dang it

29:40 yeah at the start if you play smart it’s fun, then later once you’re character is strong you can cut loose and have fun that way

Neat little bloopers at the beginning 😂

I still can't at all comprehend programming but for a long time (like since attack of the clones) I've liked the idea of a game where you build a city on the backs of multiple mach-walker-tank things whilst also exploring the world to either side of them. Like a mix of The Wandering Village with a top down Wall World. You'd have to find and restore mechs to expand your build area and build bridges to connect the mechs together. Build buildings to process the junk you find into usable materials, hire NPCs to work those buildings for you, build homes for NPCs to live in, build defences the keep the NPCs safe and to prevent raiders from stealing your mechs, hire other NPCs to man those defences, send NPCs out on scavenging missions of their own when you're too busy to scavenge for yourself... All the basics of a base building survival game but the base is constantly moving... Oh yeah I mean constantly, when you go scavenging it leaves without you and you have to survive on your own until the timer says it's made it all the way around the procedurally generated canyon and is coming back to you. When you send NPCs out they are gone until the mechs have done the circuit and gotten back to them. Only raiders can attack the town but there's more than just rairers out there. there's other mechs that the raiders can fix up to attack with, there's zombie hoards, huge mutant monsters, aliens, demons, and anything else you might want to hide from by building a giant robot. If this game sounds amazing to anyone besidedes myself I beg you to steal it and make it because I just want to play it and also watch Wonderbot play it. Throw in a skin based on his avatar for him then he'll have no choice but to play it.

somebody saw wander going nuts about wall gold & went hey i can make a game out of this.

Wall World being similar to Dome Keeper isn't going to hurt one game or the other. If people enjoy Dome Keeper they'll probably buy Wall World and vice versa. To an extent all art is derivative but it's pretty clear both projects stand on their own two feet. It's good for the developers of such games to see different ideas because it helps them improve and iterate on their own ideas.

i LOVE the concept, very steampunk and maybe ghibli vibes

PLEASE Wander, stream this in particular on RU-vid.

Idk why people hate when other devs take inspiration from an original game. As long as it fits my interest I'm good. Like, I really want Anthem but not Anthem. And definitely not published by EA.

This is a very cool video! I actually purchased it for myself and plan on playing it. From watching you play it I would agree that it definitely has some similarities with domekeeper. However I think that it has enough differences to be its own game. I especially like how it has metaprogression so you can gradually become stronger and stronger instead of starting over the same strength each time you lose as you do and don't keep her. I think both routes have their benefits but I do like that you can keep some of your progress even if you die. Also from the little I saw the story aspect is another strong point for this game❤❤😊

That "DAMN" from the start took mw out. GYAAAT fr

I keep trying watching wanderbot, he plays games I like for sure an he's definitely a fluid streamer/tuber/speaker person, but, an this could jus be my limited experience with the channel... is he ever positive? seems like he's only ever complaining about [everything]. It's prolly jus me or not.

"Also DAMN!" xD

The wave timer is the purple bar in the middle that fills. Took me awhile to figure that out as well

1:47 oh lord! Her back must be killing her.

i hope you stream this in the future, really enjoyed watching the vod of terrea nil

This is something that I would like to watch more of (and maybe play)

The only reasons why it looks like dome keeper are pixel art, mines, some progression that affects gameplay, and dome-looking-base, base defence. End of similarities. End of discusion

The purple bar is the wave countdown.

1:42 "Also, DAYUMN"

Forgot to edit out your fudged openings lol

You are playing as the defect from Slay the Spire in this game. That character looks very similar too him. He has frost based orbs etc. too.

I feel a solution to the wave right after the boss problem could be resolved by stopping the timer during the boss fight. You need to stay in your spider during the fight anyway, so it's not like you're getting a lot of extra mining time.

I love me a double intro :D

As far as mining everything goes, I think at least waiting until you have the drilling efficiency upgrades first would be a good idea.

Hey nice content but you do have a wave indicator in the bottom left its the second purple bar

For gathering resources i was thinking about conveyor belt like in Dig n Rig

i seen the devs put you in the game so i had to come to come over

This will be free on prime gaming in three days it looks like a fun game.

It's really good, did you played any of it any more?

You talked about enjoying Terraria, I haven't seen very many content creators talk about a similar game called Crea. Might be worth a video.

55:50 100 weeks is almost a year? lol Almost 2 xD

1:43 I second that. Damn.

7:10 why did he not say "innovation comes from - inspiration", it would have been so much cooler

Anyone else pained by his choices?

I think the "experience points" are diamond dust

I found you in the wall in Wall World!!!

11:39 That's what she said !!!!

People coping others' ideas and building upon them is the definition of evolution of art. People should stop bashing anything that isn't something 100% original. Genres exist because of that, and inspiration drives the birth of more

Also “damn” “Anyways”

That's a wonder wall lol

@Wnderbots, have you seen some of the Easter Eggs in Wall World?

Horizontal Dome keepers 😅

Thank you for the video. Game looks fun! I’ll be seeing about getting it. Keep being awesome friend! Have a great day!

So it's a worse version of domekeeper

Just 5 Bucks for a game that looks like it can still be tuned up and improved a bit further? That sounds like quite a bargain. I think they'll get a lot more players that way, who happen to love the other game like it. I might give it a go too!

your purple bar on the left tells you when to fight

Dead space mining sim

Is the audio ahead of the video?

intro lmao

Haha Wander funny 😆

they added an easteregg of you in the game i saw while watching someone stream the game

This game has impressive graphic.

People don't like Metroid Prime ? These games are great though !

can you play Resident Evil 6. i don't see any walkthroughs with commentary. if not then can you play Clone Drone in the Danger Zone

Thought vampire survivors was a rogue like reverse bullet hell🤔 or are you just saying heaven instead of saying hell 🤔

Could you play more Riftbreaker please? Or Even better, War For the Overworld.

Wait so gameplay wise its 1:1 to domeromntik?

i actually detest meta progression roguelites. Sometimes they pull it off but most of the time it feels like a slog to get the metaprogression done because you keep hitting a wall that is clearly meant to go "You havent progressed enough, stop here" constantly. but once you finish the metaprogression the runs become extremely stale and easy. I'd rather a roguelike be like Slay the Spire where theres no metaprogression but theres enough shenanigans you may or may not encounter early on that vastly changes how the run goes. And while theres obvious superior builds sometimes you just dont get dealt those cards and you gotta manage anyway.

the audio is a bit out of sync

I want to stay out of the whole, "Wall World copied Dome Keeper" argument. I guess how I feel is that the devs to this game definitely really liked the core idea behind Dome Keeper and ran with it 100% but changed it up enough to make this game its own intellectual property. There are very clear similarities but the base being a walking spiderbase, it being sideways and the mining mechanic being fairly different makes this its own game, IMO. A lot of European indie game developers weren't happy about this game's announcement shortly after Dome Keeper was made into a playable demo, but I think the devs to this game waited a respectable amount of time to release the game makes that the game not be too bad. Again, this is my personal opinion as someone who has met people from both game developers and as someone who is trying to remain neutral and not be biased.

The mechanic girl has a lot of jiggle to her

Why gravity is down tho?

dome keeper is not realy original as a game anyway. p.s. I dont mean that it a bad game

boing boing

It's funny all this talk about vampire survivor clones when vampire survivors itself was inspired by a mobile game called magic survival

At first I was afraid this was a clone, but then the Spider moved ;p It doesn't take a genius, but it's a significant gameplay improvement, nonetheless. Also, game has excellent world-building. On the other hand, Resources not collecting upon entry to the base is a downgrade from DK. The enemies are boring. It bugs me that there's no mechanism that keeps the Spider on the Wall. Mining Beam seems mis-matched with rest of tech. Bomb could have been Acid instead, which sits for a while and melts a portion while you Mine elsewhere, to make it distinct from DK. What would really have made the game special is if you were setting up a permanent mine at each location - drilling out some space, building the basic infrastructure, defending it, then capping with some automated defenses and ferrying the miners in. You can pick up the Resources they've mined as you come back by and take those back home, where the engineers do upgrades for you. 27:30: Uh... yeah, no. You just blew up completely randomly =0

While I understand the sentiment of this being compared to domekeeper its also a little unfair in my opinion, at least in the way that I see it happen to this game. I'm not calling you out here Wander, you're not doing anything wrong I do not think. Dome keeper is simply 2 game elements combined that have been around for a long time. The floppy era base defence games and the drill flash game(s). Both widespread. Both game elements are quite underitalised though and it's nice that the devs of domekeeper managed to use them and make something fresh. I mean credit where credit is due, dome keeper is good. But a little short, so that leaves room for other games to claim their space within the niche. Maybe dome keeper will get a dlc or sequel at some point, and if so then the competitors will require them to bring their A game again, as it should be. And this game has its own style, nice graphics and a meta progression of its own. As Wander mentions its quality. So I doubt it was quickly put together to ride a hype. Which is just a hype of 1 instance anyway, so is it even a hype? Everyone profits from more games. Unless one get's u fairly bashed into the ground, which is what I think is happening. To an extend. A different point here aswell. What inspires what, and are we so sure that it did? I was watching a retrospective on future cop lapd, one of my childhood games. (came out in 1998) And the youtuber in question was making the argument that it inspired the moba genre. And not warcraft 3's defence of the ancients. That seems silly to me. For one the game wasn't that popular sales wise, for another the moba element can be u tangled from the games structure retrospectively but its not all that clear. At least not to me anyway. And thirdly and most importantly, how would you even know that it did? Game elements or concepts can be boiled down to very simple and basic ideas. The trick is to come up with them, but its not that complicated. Sometimes it takes 2 elements combined or maybe a spin on something. Point being, the chance that it is created seperately from another by two different studios, without any cross contamination so to speak, is not that small. Unless expressively stated or very clearly tracable its simply guesswork wether or not one game took inspiration from a competitor that recently published. I know its tempting to make the connection but it may not be there. Or it may be and we cant tell anyway. And games take a while to make so, yeah bashing it out just to ride the hype will still leave it in a pretty bare state for some time to come. Anyway i'm writing this because of the game zero sievert. The devs of that game mentioned that Splattercat basicly saved it by covering the game. That's what got it the attention to actually have it the marketing potential to develop it further. That this game gets a bit of a negative rep can hurt it quite badly. And i'm wondering where this game will end up with the rep its seemingly gathering and wether or not its a tragedy. Or right. I cant tell. But it kinda has me feeling for the devs, for as long as I don't know that they've been 'a little too inspired' let's say. Just had to get this out here. And before anyone asks, no I do not know the devs. I'm writing this on my phone and don't even know the game's title. I have a passing interest in it at best. But I'm an amateur pixel pusher and If I share something I too like my work to be judged fairly. And you can believe me on that or not, I think the points are valid regardless.

Spends so much time mining useless blocks and complains about time in the level to get enough resources

exploits game, exploit doesnt work as its not intended, but the guz still thinks it should be fixed so that the exploit works better instead of just making the game not exploitable :D very funny thought process, oh and lets not forget his cheese/exploit is also slower than just doing it normally :D

Also first

This whole game just seems like a copy pasted dome keeper

why are you pronouncing 'turret' the same as 'turd'? lmao

You can heal your spider crawler.

The Wave Timer is the middle blue/purple bar, it fills up over time and can be extended with upgrades between excursions.

5$ for that? That's an absolute steal! The game looks great for something that's going to be so cheap

Honestly my biggest complaint with this game is the sound design of the mining. It feels . . weak? It's like it doesn't have much impact. It's better once you've upgraded it and you break rocks more quickly but not when it takes a while for each. I much prefer the mining in dome keeper. I do love all the ideas in this game though, the massive wall with all the robot spiders on it is so cool. The lore is much more in depth than dome keeper, which is just "you land on a planet, steal it's resources and kill all the native monsters". The art in this game is great too.

Wouldn't this world really quick become "cave world", because people would quickly start to live in those caves they are able to dig, where they... you know... can't fall to their infinite falling-starving death? Do the ores transform them into the creatures, you are fighting, if they tried? Is that, why you are wearing the suit? Is that why you should destroy as much cubes as possible? Am i giving that too much thought? Did i expand the lore in 5 minutes so much, that i should be hired? xD

You say this game borrowed from Dome keeper and compare it to Vampire survivors clones but funny enough vampire survivors was a clone of magic survivors before it. There's nothing wrong with that, but I think game devs should give more credit to their inspirations and say what games they are building off of when not building a true first of its kind, never before seen game play loop.

I thought of a solution to the meta progression problem. Lets call it double meta progression. Some meta progression choices will render others unavailable and eventually you get powered up enough to reach an actual end of the game where there's no aditional runs you just have to start a new save file. But now you can try a different combination of meta progression choices and unlock a different meta ending eventually finding the best ending presumably where you break the loop without anyone dying.

I may have missed it if you noticed ut that purple bar tells you how close bad guys are.

One solution to the act 1 doldrums problem is always just throwing enemies that are _statistically_ weak but nevertheless have a couple gimmicks and are otherwise numerous or engaging enough to require some skill to deal with. As opposed to just throwing enemies that do almost nothing to you but take way too long to defeat with whatever pea shooter you start off with. Honestly I'd say Nuclear Throne and Enter the Gungeon are both pretty good about this- the enemies on the first level of both games are small fry with only minimal gimmicks, but you do still have to engage your brain to deal with them and they don't take ten years to kill with starter gear. Doesn't exactly work for this particular sub-genre but it still works for true roguelikes, rogueSHMUPs, deck-builders, etc

4:40 It looks like domekeeper if domekeeper had any chance of being fun for me to play. Only 5 mins into the video though so I'll see how the rest goes lol.

wanders reaction to mechanic girl was incredibly funny

Great stuff!

1:13 Isaac?

Magic Survival is the original

I would've loved to see you play Metroid Prime live! Sad I missed out, but I'll definitely look for the VOD now that you mentioned it.

5 dollars! That’s amazing! Also you seem energized in this video compared to other videos recently I hope you are recovering from being sick!

This seem like dome.

i think they need a meta progresion that doubles your spider starting mining laser to 2 > 4 > 8
