I forgot that thing
In my recent Addiction video, people are like, wait, how do you use a mouse in Tetris
How do you play on the PC? Well, it's actually pretty easy
I use an app called Nox App Player. You can just Google for it, Nox App Player
If you're worried, it's just bignox.com. There'll be a link in the description
You can just click that directly. Hello, Parker. It's really simple stuff
You just want to download. There's one big download button. There's a Mac version
There's a default version for Windows. If you've got a Linux PC, well, you knew what you were getting into
It's going to take a few seconds to download. It's not too big
I'm not entirely sure how much space it takes up exactly. Unless you're on like a tiny SSD, it's probably not going to matter too much
That's going to be more than a couple of gigs, I think. I don't know exactly how big Android is these days
It's like four gigs on my phone, but I'm not sure if that's different for like just this emulator
Anyway, what Nox is, it is an Android emulator that just plays Android apps
All it really is, I already have it installed, so it wants me to back up some stuff
This demo is really bad. It's too much for me. Actually, I'm not going to back it up because I do POSTAGES
That's one important thing for Android games. Back it up. I don't care
I have POSTAGES backed up so all my save files are on my phone
POSTAGES are one thing you're going to have to watch for if you want to play this game on both your phone and on the Linux PC
I'll get into that a bit later. Basically, any game that has cloud save, you can save on your phone if it's an Android phone
And then you can load it up on Nox App Player and play it here. Nox has pretty good compatibility. There's a few games I haven't got to play
Mostly just Pocket Plants, actually. Pocket Plants I do not get to work
Really, that's about it. I'm sure there's probably other ifs and bits that don't work
The installation process is super simple. You might have heard of BlueStacks. BlueStacks is another alternative
I don't recommend it anymore. I actually recall having a bit more trouble with the component
Not like it was just a couple extra menus. It really wasn't a big deal
But it also comes with this new video recorder, which I already have my own video recorder stuff
It has gamer ads. Nox is supported by ads. It just adds
It'll install the latest mobile game craze on your PC. Not on your PC
On the Android thing. You'll see Pocket Plants or whatever. You don't have to run the app
It doesn't put video ads on there. It's not a big deal
It's not as obnoxious as BlueStacks has gotten. I hope it never gets as obnoxious as BlueStacks
BlueStacks has just gotten worse and worse. That's why I go for this
This is also designed more specifically for gaming stuff. As you can see in the background there, it's like
oh, look at all these games you can play. It's mostly designed for playing apps
It's an Android emulator full on, as far as I'm aware. I think it has some managed screencasts
I'll never use the internal one. It also has auto-touch macros. If you want to find some stuff in the distro
you can set up some basic stuff. Here's the ad I was talking about
It just pops on some popular thing that you want to play
What you want to do is just open the Play Store. You probably have a Google account
If you don't, you can make it here. You need one to download stuff in the App Store
Excuse me a second, I'll log in with my own info. All right, now that I've logged in with my Google account
I did get a little, did you just sign in thing, because Google has a lot of issues with grading
You can just click OK on that. You just want to search for EBCM on the store
Install it, blah, blah, blah. It's just like installing an app on your phone
because that's basically just what it is. It's not your phone, obviously
You just want to run the game. If you're on iOS, you can transfer your save file over
It's a little bit more convoluted. If you log in with Facebook
you can load, the cloud save actually goes to Facebook, as well as iCloud and Google Play
So you can actually switch devices as long as you save to a Facebook account
You don't really care about this tutorial. You can skip the tutorial
It's been a long time since I've seen this. I know the name change seems pretty permanent at this point
but I still hate the term tap, tap, save. It's a big dream, what a cool freaking name
Hey, excuse me. And it'll probably actually automatically load you a save data
if you're on, if you play normally on Android. And for some reason, it loads twice sometimes
See, I'm not entirely sure what that is. But if you're just starting out, you can just load both
I usually, what I do is I make a manual save before I'm going to switch over
Save to cloud. Actually, wait, no, let's progress over it. I actually, since I just loaded this
I want to be absolutely sure I have the latest stuff because pearls are really painful to lose
I had a few bugs and lost pearls. I'm really frustrated with that feature, by the way
I don't think it do a lot of speed on me. 117, that's the correct amount of pearls
Yeah, what you want to do when you switch devices, you want to be absolutely sure you click save to cloud. Yes
And then on your other device, you want to click restore from cloud. And you want the sanity text, last save time
That's one thing, when it tries to auto-restore your save, it won't tell you what the last save time was
It won't tell me how many sticks you have. There's another game called, all right, I'll have it installed right here
But the Octave test will tell you how many plants you have unlocked
So it's really easy to tell whether your current save file, like it'll say, oh, your current save file has 10 plants
but the cloud save has 11 plants. And obviously, you can go, oh, phew, I want the 11th plant one
That's one, thank you. And this game kind of forces its way through
If you're on Android, which is what the Knocked app player is, if you get that confirmed loading thing
you can actually just press that button, and you can cancel out of the auto-load
And you can just manually go to save from cloud. It'll tell you exactly when it was saved, which is really handy
I do recommend not giggling around too much. I have accidentally overwritten saves a couple times
when bouncing between my phone and this. I mostly stay in the app player or in the phone for long stretches of time
It is possible to bounce around like I said, but you do want to be a little bit careful
Now, remember, like I said, if you're on iOS, and you want to play on Knocked app player
you're going to need to log in on Facebook. You can do it on any Facebook
You need to put in a Facebook here. Log in on your phone, save the game
log in on here on the Knocked app player. Then you can load your saved game from the source in cloud
and you should be all good. I haven't done it myself because I have an Android phone
I don't have this iOS stuff that will. My cat is activating things on the keyboard
Great, thank you, my friend. Yeah. And then from there, it's pretty much just a bit freeing
like you've always seen it. It doesn't, there's nothing really too fancy or lashy
You can go into settings. If you have a Wii shirt, if you have a Toast PC, you can be all right with Knocked
You just want to kick the performance settings down. I have a Surface Pro 3 tablet
which is not really, you know, it's not a gaming PC. So what I usually do is I set, on that one
I set the resolution down a little bit. 720 works pretty fine
You want to set the frame rate down to, it looks like a slider, if it didn't be no slider
I set the frame rate slider down to 30. You can put the resolution down a little bit lower if you want
You can put the performance down to mid. If you don't notice a difference in your games
and you set your performance settings low, I'm not going to say it because it's going to want to restart
If you set the performance settings low, I haven't noticed a difference in it this year
This year is a pretty flexible game. You can play it with whatever settings you want
Certain features of the game are a little bit painful. With the mouse control, like taking pictures
is really painful to play. Unless you have a touch screen PC. It works properly on my Surface Pro
because it has touch input. But for the most part, you're probably not going to be
taking amazing pictures. Some games, like I said, this is mostly just for this game
but some games will be a little awkward to play. You might want to set up a little something
Some macros, add some macros to certain games. You can set up..
I'm not sure exactly how accurate... Oh yeah, gamepad thing, I think this is. Keyboard control mode
Oh yeah, basically for this, you can set like, okay, whenever I press the left trigger on my gamepad
I want you to press this button here. You can mouse your keyboard or your gamepad to play things
That's more for games like, you know, other platforms or shooters and stuff
The mouse works fine for this game. But that's pretty much all you need to see
That's pretty much how you play a bit game on your computer. You can play it on PC or Mac
I don't know if it works in line on Linux. If you're on Linux, you're on your own
and you're used to being on your own. Pretty much the game just works the same it does on Android
because it's just Android. It's not too complicated. But hopefully that helps you out
And like I said, the link to Knox is just in the description if you want to just go straight there
It's not too big, it's not too complicated. It works on pretty much everything
My general standard is it works just fine on a CineScope 3
which is like, it's a decent, it's like a three-year-old business laptop
I figure if you can run it on that, it's pretty, you can run it on pretty much anything
that you'd expect you to run modern programs. It's not the worst thing in the world
It's not a toaster, but... You can run this near toast quality
It might be a fancy toaster, but I do believe there are toasters out there
that could, in fact, run good old Obituary and like this. Random tip, completely unrelated to the game
I learned on Reddit that you can move... I don't have multiple PCs to show you properly
but you can stack these ride locks. You can stack one here and then move one over here
As long as the locks touch each other, you can actually move them over
and you can create a bridge into the main area. You can actually see your creation
I don't, unfortunately, have enough PCs to really show you what I mean
because I've been saving all of my stuff up for the stuff that affects vitality
But you can make bridges and move stuff over here so you can actually freaking see it
You can just barely see off to the left there. That's why it's two to those in the corner
So you can see them. If you have a lot more... If you have pearls to burn on white rocks
I would just make a little bridge so you can actually see a bit. I don't know why the expand isn't down here
because there's no coal here and you can actually see it. I don't know
Not very to the point, but... Yeah, that's pretty much how you do it
