AY in Tick Drop! Chiara and Maddie is an automatic elimination spectacle by @paodmdsiand, with 133 characters crowded onto a ring of individual platforms. Sprunki faces share the arena with crossover characters, original creations, and deliberately mismatched images. You start the contest and follow the survivors as the ring turns toward its red NOT SAFE position.

The main attraction is watching familiar faces react to an increasingly empty arena. Chiara and the pink-petalled Maddie add longer character exchanges to the usual falling animations. Their unusual survival rules also affect whether this version can finish.

How the elimination rounds work

Each contestant stands beside a red button. During a round, some characters automatically press their buttons, adding to the central TURNS counter. The ring then shifts around the arena while that number counts down. Once movement stops, the character at the bottom danger position receives the losing result.

Ordinary eliminations have a readable sequence: the selected character reacts, the platform tilts, and the character drops out of view. The PLAYERS number decreases before another round begins. The red danger sector becomes much easier to see once the crowd thins out.

The buttons belong to the contestants; watching their presses and the remaining turns is how you follow the selection. There is no timing challenge to master. Picking someone to root for gives the repeated rounds more purpose, especially when a favourite survives several passes around the ring.

A huge cast, with a crowded opening

Oren, Pinki, Garnold, Mr. Sun, and the enormous Mr. Tree are among the recognisable Sprunki characters. The surrounding cast mixes different drawing styles and scales, so the arena feels more like a crossover gathering than a consistent character set.

That variety comes with a visibility problem. Early on, bodies and platforms overlap heavily, and large characters can cover the counters. As eliminations create space, individual expressions, button presses, and the losing platform become easier to follow. A full run takes considerably longer than a quick glance at the opening suggests.

Move the pointer over a character to reveal a name. Several overlapping characters may produce overlapping labels, so move the pointer outside the arena again when the bubbles obstruct the action.

Chiara, Maddie, and the repeating final three

Chiara's losing turn can interrupt the ordinary drop with a longer sequence of crying and changing expressions. Maddie responds with angry gestures, and Chiara remains in the contest. Maddie also has her own reaction when she reaches the danger position, rather than leaving through the usual elimination.

This difference becomes decisive near the end. In the tested run, the remaining cast narrowed to Chiara, Maddie, and Ethy the Elephant. Further rounds continued to rotate those three through the arena, including the NOT SAFE position, without reducing their number. No winner screen appeared.

Expect a repeating three-character finale in this version. The changing reactions are worth seeing, but waiting for a conventional last-survivor result becomes frustrating once that loop is established.

Starting again and choosing another version

Use the green flag to begin a fresh contest. The red stop button stops the current run; starting again restores the large roster and rearranges its positions. This is the practical way to get another opening lineup after the final-three loop.

AY in Tick Drop! Chiara and Maddie suits viewers who enjoy crossover casts, expressive reactions, and following an automatic contest. Its strongest moments come when the crowd has thinned enough to read the characters clearly. The long opening and unresolved finale make it a less satisfying choice when you want a short match with a definite winner.
