Meteos Wars - Nov 4 09 A - Hotted

Wait a minute...we already had a heat-themed place in Jeljel. Why is there another one? The answer is that Jeljel was themed on magma, but Hotted is themed on molten iron. There's a difference, you see. Besides, look! It's in the shape of a cube!

I played a bunch of battles against this fellow. Very nice. Also doesn't disconnect. With each person I'm facing in Meteos Wars who doesn't disconnect, I'm getting less and less respect for IxDarkSnakexii, as so far he's been the only one to have disconnected on me. So it seems there IS an honor code going on here.

Leonyx3 is my opponent and chose Dawndus. It's a planet in perpetual sun-up or sundown, and its inhabitants don't sleep. Appropriately, the European and Australian versions call this planet Insomnis. Here's my video featuring it:

And me, I'm using Hotted. Boy, this list of planets goes on and on, doesn't it? So far, this is the 36th one I've covered. There are so many planets, there should be one to fit anyone's playing style. (Hotted is not one of them for me, by the way.) Hotted, known as Pyros in Europe an Australia, is a planet rich in iron. The place is brutal--temperatures are hot enough to make the iron glow, and the Hotted natives measure 30 meters, or over 100 feet tall. I don't know what they do from day to day, but I sure wouldn't want to visit this place. (The three most common Meteos types here, of course, would be Fire, Iron, and Glow.)

Hotted may look pretty small compared to Dawndus in this video, but it IS a large planet. It has 10 columns wide and is 73,000 kilometers in length. Dawndus, by comparison, is 3,400 kilometers. Dawndus is a mere speck compared to Hotted.

Everything about Hotted is heavy--its inhabitants, the planet, its matter, its music, and most definitely the way Meteos works on Hotted. I would say that Hotted has the second-strongest gravity next to Gravitas, which makes it a wonder that the Hotteds can stand up at all. Initial ignitions barely send the cluster up. You need to do secondary ignitions to get anywhere for Hotted, lest you wind up with a nearly unmanageable pile of Meteos smothering the playing screen. But where you do the ignition is also important. You need to try to go for as many secondary ignitions ABOVE the primary one as possible, as that's a guaranteed launch off the top of the screen. Secondary ignitions below the primary ones are weak, and if too far below, might not even do anything at all. Ignitions after the second get progressively weaker until they do absolutely nothing at all and you're stuck with a field unable to ignite anything.

This, of course, means Hotted is a low scorer. Hotted is nearly unable to do Screen Clears so it can't get those bonuses, and you won't be getting many multipliers above x3 unless you have a death wish...or the timer's nearly up. Low scorers would have a disadvantage under lag like what you see here; Hotted is clearly meant to load the opponent's field with garbage blocks, especially since it has the Planet Impact Armageddon to drop a big unignitable cherry on top. I lost both rounds here; they weren't even close. After this match, I realized what I did at the end there, a last-ditch effort to acquire as many points as possible, might have allowed me to keep up with Dawndus in terms of score. Filled columns mean almost nothing under lag like this.

I love the DS Meteos and I still play it to this day, despite having it for the past 5 years... I don't own an Xbox, and Meteos Wars does look excellent, so I'm hoping something similar will end up on 3DS or something with Wi-Fi support. Nobody I know is willing to try Meteos, so I never get to play with anyone. Wi-Fi would sort that out!

@FangedDragon01 Meteos is also that sort of thing that's not too easy to understand. It looks like other falling blocks puzzle games, but at the same time, it looks way different.

I love Hotted, it's a planet where you're always on offensive, you never stop launching meteos on your opponents.

[Overhazard]

@FOG2006 Indeed, Hotted is largely offensive in its strategies, though you can go defensive sometimes. I'd say the only planet that's pure offense is Hevendor.

Hotted is just a Giant orange cube?

TIME TO PLAY MINECRAFT

[ylguehtthguackcirtap]

if you play as hotted, you should always remember this rule. If for some reason, your stacks of meteos don't leave the screen after two ignitions in mid-air, don't try again. not much will happen

But Wuud was my meteos enemy always losing when i got there now i FINALLY got payback!!!!!!!!

[PsiStarstormOmega982]
