Oh it is actually a intended design. The game decrease the number by the view of the bombs.
Consider the following situations: ▫️💣 💣2️⃣0️⃣ For the 💣 on the top, it only see one digit, 💣 2️⃣ so it decrease that digit by one 💣 1️⃣ And then we handle the bomb on the left. 💣1️⃣0️⃣ become 💣0️⃣9️⃣ The final result will be ▫️💣 💣0️⃣9️⃣
I think the confusion is caused by the orders of game evaluation bombs. To avoid frustrating players, the game always evaluate bombs in orders that advantageous to the player.
Consider the following situations: ▫️▫️💣 💣1️⃣0️⃣
If we handle the top bomb first. It only see zero, it will be game over. So we start from left bomb instead.
For the left bomb 💣1️⃣0️⃣ become 💣0️⃣9️⃣ Then for top bomb 💣 9️⃣ become 💣 8️⃣ The final result: ▫️▫️💣 💣0️⃣8️⃣
I think I should come up with more levels to explain this concept after game jam end.
Thank you so much for liking my game and playing it through the later levels.
The yellow square indicates that it has been used by two bombs, so the countdown will run twice. I will add more levels to explain it more clearly after game jam end.
Hi, I got the idea of this game by playing a lot of puzzle games. Such as Sokobond, LYNE, the Witness, the Talos Principle and much more.
Someday, this just come to my mind what about a sokoban game where box and road are relative. Therefore, I join a game jam to test this idea.
I quickly design the game engine and start to mess with it. When I find something interesting, I refine the behavior I found into a level. I even made a solver to insure each level is solvable.
After game jam, I add more levels and refine it for a short time. Then I stoped, because I graduated from graduate school and start working in Software Company. I do not have much free time to work on this project so I just abandon it.
It has been 3 years, but surprisingly someone still play my game and like it.
This motivates me to remake this game. There is no guarantee when or whether it will be done, but I will do my best. I will add a link to the full version in the game page after I finished it.
