Bombseeker

Short: Every number costs a step.

Key points:

• You have to walk onto it — There is no clicking a tile from across the map. Everything happens through your character, so every number on the board is one you paid a step to learn. Nothing opens up for free.
• One mistake is the whole run — A bomb kills outright. Armour and potions will carry you through a fight; none of it will carry you through a bad guess. The only concession is that nothing is ever armed next to where you start, so the first step is safe.
• Flags are inventory, not a counter — You buy flags with the coins you earn, five apiece. Placing one spends it and picking it back up returns it, which makes a wrong guess cost you twice.
• Eight regions out of Alanther — Forty hand-built levels, five to a region, from the Gold Coast round to the Dark Forrest, picked off a map of the territory. Terrain is not decoration — water cannot be crossed, and a cactus or a tree is never a bomb.
• A way back when you are broke — Random Puzzle sits in the Play menu for when you have run out of both coins and flags. It hands out its own flags and pays full rate, so a bad run is never the end of the road.
