@Giulio6686 For IMBA it's the spell evolutions. "Combine 3 elemental gems with a spell" sounds like a menu, but in practice it's the moment your fireball suddenly clears half the screen. Only clicks once you see it.

@BrentCaulfield @UnrealEngine It can hold up better than people expect. Our browser demo runs 1000 enemies plus ~500 projectiles with collision, no ECS, just a spatial hash, pooling and vertex colors instead of material property blocks.

@GibGibGuyGuy If you want a survivors-like that gets loud on stream: IMBA, you draw arcane cards and evolve your spells until they're way too broken. Free demo in your browser: https://t.co/KOu4OdvqaQ

@ashenswarm Exploding pigs feeding a black hole is a beautiful combo. Does the black hole pull the pigs in before they pop, or do you time it yourself?

Fire, water, wind. Give a spell three gems and it evolves into something that should probably be patched.

Draw cards. Evolve spells. Break the game.

@E2aGames The moment around minute 24 when the screen is basically one fire spell and a wall of enemies, and you realise you're the problem now. IMBA, a survivors-like where your spells get way too strong. Free demo in your browser: https://t.co/KOu4OdvqaQ

@erlikgame @GamerBaseNL Two gods pulling your build in opposite directions is such a good hook for a survivors-like. Do you get punished for going all in on one side, or is a split build viable too? Good luck with Early Access on Nov 4!

[IMBA 🔥 by PigCassoGames @PigCassoGamesOG]

@Giulio6686 Hard agree. Mine is a chest that spins like a slot machine before it tells you what you got. Same reward, but that half second of waiting makes it feel twice as good.

@PokeIndie IMBA: draw arcane cards, evolve your spells with elemental gems and get so overpowered it should be patched. Free in your browser: https://t.co/KOu4OdvY0o

@Fox_Arcana A cat that body-blocks bullets and then sends them back is such a fun fantasy, and the Common/Legendary/Chroma tiers make each card easy to read. Does Chroma stack on top of Legendary or replace it?

@PixelFrogStudio Love your art. Gonna add them to the game im working on.

[IMBA 🔥 by PigCassoGames @PigCassoGamesOG]

@Selfdefiant1 "Your only job is getting home alive" is a clean pitch. Is home an actual destination on the map or more of a survive-the-clock thing? Doing spells instead of weapons in mine too, more wizards in the genre please 🧙

@smawverse Congrats on 1,000! Showing the 0.4 changes as before/after is way more convincing than a patch list. Which change did players ask for the most?

@plungeofsludge A ghost that eats your bullets and throws them back is such a good way to punish spray and pray. Does it spit them out aimed at the player or just in a random burst?

[IMBA 🔥 by PigCassoGames @PigCassoGamesOG]

@barosaros Staggering is right, the choppy look comes from only moving them on their tick. Move every frame (cheap) and stagger just the expensive stuff like separation and targeting, plus a spatial hash for neighbors. That keeps 1000 enemies smooth in my survivors-like without ECS.

@SeagodSurvivors Thousands of Mergoblins with no hitches is a flex. Did the 1250 cap move after the Steam Deck tests, or is that still the sweet spot?
