Palamedes II: Star Twinkles is a sequel to the first with new twists.
You grab dice that's equal to or one away from the number shown on the display die. The number you pick that meet either criteria will be the next shown.
There are two game modes. Mode 1 is where you clear dice and make combination. You can play by yourself to go for a high score. You can also challenge a friend or play against the computer.
handdescriptionlines cleared
DustAny 4 numbers not in sequence1 line
Seven TimesCombination totaling 7+1 line
DoubleTwo pairs of numbers2 lines
Three Straight3 consecutive numbers in a row2 lines
Three Flush3 of the same number2 lines
Four Straight4 consecutive numbers in a row3 lines
Four Flush4 of the same number3 lines
Royal RoyalFour Straight consists of 2-3-4-54 lines
Mode 1 you can cycle through dice by pressing B and speed up lines by pressing up.
Mode 2 is played differently as you remove dice until you reach the bottom. It's always played 1-on-1 and if both players have no moves, the display die changes to a different number.

This is a 12 second improvement over my previous submission.
I luck manipulate the RNG so that you get the best combinations quicker and have the CPU raise their stack to 3 lines high.
Improved title screen skip and better luck manipulation.
I go for 2-3-4-5 straight for 4 lines then 4-3-2 straight, 5-4-3 straight, 6-5-4 straight, or three of a kind for 2 lines more.
Having the stack almost to the top make the dice go shorter distances.
As usual, Quest Mode 1, 3 set, Hard.

Fog: Judging.
Fog: Good run, can't find any obvious faults from a technical standpoint. Accepting to Vault.
feos: It's been a lonely month, this sub needs some care.

Oops. I thought resizing the video to 1280x720 would stretch the picture, but I was wrong. I'll put up a new encode.

I admit that I'm biased seeing as I've made movies of games with similar style but I honestly enjoyed this, yes vote. I could do with a bit more explanation of how the "equal to or one away from" mechanic works but the fact that the gameplay was so fast that I had difficulty figuring out what was happening is in this run's favor. Good work!
I was laid off in May 2023 and became too ill to work this year and could use support via Patreon or onetime donations as work on TASBot Re: and TASBot HD is stalled. I'm dwangoAC, TASVideos Senior Ambassador and BDFL of the TASBot community; when healthy, I post TAS content on YouTube.com/dwangoAC based on livestreams from Twitch.tv/dwangoAC.
