How to Break (Some) 50/50s

Chapter 1 - Cleanse

When you left click on a number, if the correct amount of mines surround it, all the unknown tiles adjacent to it will be opened. This is called Cleanse.

Chapter 2 - Cleanse?

If you left click on a flagged tile, and a number is under it, Cleanse still works. This glitch is the key to breaking some 50/50s.

Chapter 3 - Cleansed

Consider the above scenario, where the "4" on top has one more mine near it and the top "2" also has one more mine near it.

Without this method, you would have to guess, which can be frustrating if you lose a good board over luck.

However, by attempting to cleanse a tile with flags where mines would be if it's a number, either:

The tile is a number, in which the cleanse will succeed, you know it's a number, and the 50/50 is broken.

OR

The tile is a mine, in which the cleanse will fail, you know it's a mine, and the 50/50 is broken.

Chapter 3.5 - Uncleansable

Unfortunately, this doesn't work for all 50/50s, like the above scenario.

If (successfully) cleansing had a sound, any 50/50 could be solved, because you would be able to determine if it can cleanse, meaning it's a number.

Closing Remarks

While this doesn't completely remove 50/50s and it's based on a bug, it can remove a decent amount of luck from your games.

Thanks for reading this, Please give me a like, and have fun!

Fun game, but... if you tear your legs off, you can fly, sooo......

Tell me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you should be able to use cleanse on a square marked with a mine.

Not really. You need the interpreter to run it, which doesn't come with the cartridge. You have to have the PICO-8 software to run it, which costs 15 dollars.

Okay, I think I know why a lot of the bugs exist, but it'll take some explaining:

1. This has been fixed.

2. First off, the wording of this is very hard to understand, so here it is summarized: When you walk off a ladder, you can still jump mid-air.

Second, this is because climbing a ladder doesn't remove your ability to jump.

3. There was no protection put in place for when you go above a certain speed. This also means that if you get enough horizontal speed, you can clip though walls.

4. This is intended.

5. PICO-8 has a set limit to how much memory can be in one variable, and if a level tries to add too many objects (not blocks) to the level, it crashes.

Cool, but so broken.

Seems really shapez-y, but ok.

Great concept, but a lot of the mechanics can be very infuriating when you don't know how they work, and there's no tutorial to tell you that they work like that.

One time, I marked a space as a mine, but didn't realize mines behind locked tiles count towards numbers, so I lost the game.

Also, playing in hard doesn't seem to give more coins than medium because there's less space for coins to appear in, so it's overall better to play in medium over hard.

Hey, for anyone who finds this, try Reactris. It's this but better.

I have a question, did you realize there is a real place named "Dawnville"? Other than that, good game.

...What?

I love to play around in this... game? Whatever it is, I do wish the connections were displayed with arrows. It would make it much clearer to see what goes where. Also, being able to disable H bringing up the help menu would help, or maybe just add a help button. Still, a great idea, and fun to mess around in!

Fun, but hard to figure out, sometimes I would have a valid solution but it doesn't work, so it was a little frustrating, but I beat it in the end.

Not just when you beat the GOAT, if you fail on the GOAT, it still happens sometimes.

EDIT: I figured out how to fix it, you just press enter again.

What do you mean by "doesn't work in chrome browsers"?

Chrome work just fine for me.

A great game for sure, but the timer doesn't stop when you press r before you hit something.

I found the setting and have set it to "Block in incognito mode",

Thanks for the help!

I'm using chrome on windows 10, and I think it may not be the game's fault, because I've gotten errors attached to localStorage on other things, so it may be my google account.

EDIT: I read the big block of text for iOS, (because I like reading, I know, I'm a nerd. What did you expect?) and I saw the bottom: "The only work-around for SIC-1 (...) is to manually export your save data...". Well then, I guess I'll do that!

My game isn't saving.

Great game! It does get a little repetitive, but otherwise really good!

That, uh... Wow.

Am I supposed to judge myself‽

Amazing!

...Well, I made a puzzle game about coming to terms with your fate. Fun!

Sorry, but I couldn't figure out the first level. Wasn't well explained.

Wow! At first I thought the gameplay would get old after a little bit.

But then, before I knew it, I played over 100 days and got 1044 score! Great game!

I managed to get 54!

I'll keep trying for 60 though.

EDIT: I made a cat!

Three, take it or leave it.

YES, I totally agree.

*JUST LET ME PUT THIS IN ALREADY*

[Clears Throat] Anyway...

[Sadness Noises]

It's a Great game AND it's Educational?!

Seriously though, some of the instructions are pretty cryptic, and I can't get past 1.12. Any advice on it?

Other than that, Great game!

EDIT: Just came back to this, and figured out that 1.12 is impossible, because there is no way to make a proof of R from Q. Really disappointing.

Great game! One problem is the AI usually gets stuck doing one thing over and over, so a mutation upgrade could be cool. Otherwise, Great job!

Cool game! Here are my times:

1: 00:04.11

2: 00:04.85
