Is this <Secret Heart (Secret Plus)>..?

Last week, Circuheart (Standard Edition) was released as a big deal, and within a week, version 19 of the same game is released as a big deal.

The Circuheart (Secret Plus) version was also released as a Flake exchange item last month.

If we look at the trend, it seems like games that appear in the Flake Exchange Shop will be big deals for the time being?

Well then, there are already a lot of games out there, so I hope my hunch is wrong.

+ It is called a coupon that can be used multiple times.

Hello, this is the PLATiNA::LAB development team.

Maintenance work will be performed during the period below to apply new updates.

We will continue to do our best to provide a better gaming experience in the future.

thank you

The game Millennium Reincarnation and Black Heart Secret Plus have been added.

I made a payment in the morning or early morning, but I wonder if the 81% coupon was applied incorrectly.

It came out as 0 won. I thought I saw it wrong, so I went to make the actual payment and the payment was completed.

I left an inquiry with the customer service center that morning, but hmm...

The coupon was issued immediately at 00:00 on the 11th...

It looks like the Corpse Keeper was already on sale.

Originally, as soon as it became 00:00, the existing discount of Corpse Keeper would stop and the 81% coupon would be applied without any discount, right?

But I think the Corpse Keeper discount ended around 9-10 AM on the 11th.

And if it was a real percentage coupon, it would have been 81% off the original discount price.

I think this happened because this coupon simply deducted 81% of the regular selling price.

The game I played today is “Click Painter” .

It's a game that takes the Minesweeper approach and adds more colors to make it more challenging.

The background music is peaceful and relaxes the brain, but it also makes the brain work hard, so it lights up.

So, let's see what makes it different from other Minesweepers.

Once you start the game, there are 8 puzzles like this.

Click to jump right into the puzzle.

Then the puzzle begins right away.

For those of you who don't know about Minesweeper, here's a quick explanation.

The ultimate goal of Minesweeper is to uncover all squares while avoiding mines .

In the image above, the numbers represent the number of mines within a 3x3 area centered on that square .

Now, let's look at the boxes that have the number 2 written on them , which I've highlighted in green and orange .

There are four empty spaces around the green square. It is unclear where the two mines are.

But there are only two empty spaces around the orange square. So there must be mines in those two spaces, right?

Two mines were uncovered.

However, the green part is still unknown.

First of all, there is a mine near 2, so effectively there is a mine in one of the three empty spaces.

And there is a 1 on the left of 2, so there can't be a mine in the place marked with a red X.

You can find out by substituting it directly.

If we assume that there is a mine in the place marked O, 2 is already satisfied .

But the 1 on the left is not satisfied, right?

So to satisfy, let's say there are mines in two squares near 1.

Then 2 It would be like saying there are three mines nearby .

So, that part is a structure that cannot be solved with certainty.

I guess I'll have to work out the other parts first.

Now, I will tell you the know-how I have learned while playing Minesweeper.

If you've played Minesweeper a lot, you probably already know.

First is 121 .

If 1/2/1 appears on the roadside like a green range, there are always two mines on both sides of the 2 and right below the 1 .

Because there can't be a mine right below 2.

If there is a mine there, then a 1 close to that space will not be established if there is another mine in one of the two marked O's.

Next is 1221 .

This is the exact opposite of the situation above, with two mines located directly below 2 .

If you look now, it's listed as 1222, but due to the mine on the right, it's no different from 1221.

This is also for a similar reason, but if we assume that there is a mine in the place marked with an X, it does not work as in the following reason.

OXOX / XOXO → One of the two does not hold true

OOXX / XXOO → There are 2 mines nearby

OXXO → 2 Neither of them is valid

There may be more, but these are the cases where there is only one option by substitution .

However, there are cases where it is not certain even after substitution.

If I just solve this, everything will be over, but how do I solve this one at the end?

First, we check the part where the probability is definitely 50%, and then we go in assuming that one of the two is a mine.

Since it is certain that there is a mine in one of the two question marks, 5 and 6 above and below the question mark, let's assume that there is a mine in the innermost question mark.

1. If the inner question mark is a mine, there is always no mine on its left.

2. Because of the X mark on the right, the space above the 4 below it becomes the only empty space, so there will definitely be a mine there. Question mark.

3. Because of the new question mark, the condition on the left of the 4 is satisfied, so there will definitely be no mines in the two blank spaces above the 4.

4. But if that happens, the number of blank spaces around 7 will be reduced to 3, so 7 itself will no longer be valid.

If you go into it like this, making assumptions upon assumptions, if you are in the wrong position, you will eventually find an error.

So now that we've figured out that one of the 50% is a mistake, choosing the other one is a sure bet.

Now let's assume the other side is a mine.

1. Assuming that the left 5 is a mine, the bottom 4 is satisfied, so there is no mine above the bottom 4.

2. Since there are no mines on the 4th, the two empty spaces on the left of the 5th are both mines unconditionally.

3. In this way, the left 4 is also satisfied, so there is no mine in the 4th place.

4. 7 There is one place that should not have any mines nearby, so the condition is satisfied.

If you make assumptions and solve them, any puzzle will be solved without fail.

It may be difficult to explain it well in writing, but you will get the feel of it if you try it yourself.

I cleared all 8 puzzles.

Are there any other puzzles?

The part that needs to be paid attention to at that time is this part,

This basically acts as a stage. So what is this?

The four icons on the right side of the palette represent 1/2/3/4 colors in that order.

The three icons on the right of the blocks below represent the puzzle sizes of 16x16 / 32x32 / 64x64 , in that order.

These two elements interact with each other to create one stage.

So, there are 12 stages in total, 4 x 3.

There are 8 puzzles per stage, so the game itself

Basically, it provides 96 puzzles.

A shape with multiple colors looks like this.

The visuals are reminiscent of Sudoku...

Just think of it as running 3 Minesweeper games at the same time.

Of course, mines of different colors are not treated as numbers of different colors.

In effect, each other's minefields are just empty squares.

As a puzzle game, it already has a decent amount of content, right?

But clearing all of this is not the end.

As you play the game, the classics will open.

This game is based on Minesweeper.

So we also offer some random puzzles that are unique to Minesweeper.

The puzzles that were previously provided had a shape, so I could solve them by inferring them, but

What if it were completely random and had multiple colors mixed together ?

Just imagining it would be a terrifying puzzle.

And along with the classics, customs are also opening up.

You can enjoy the puzzle by inserting pictures that I prepared myself.

It was a more full-fledged game than expected, with even elements of a creative space prepared.

I also tried making a picture once.

Download the image above and enjoy it for yourself.

It won't be easy because there are 4 colors. Hahaha.

It was a puzzle game that gave a completely different feel by introducing multiple colors to the ordinary minesweeper.

Including this, the level of puzzles provided by the game itself was also quite high.

My perception that all puzzle games that create a healing atmosphere are killing games was not wrong today.

I will solve all the puzzles and enjoy the challenge.

It's been a while since Mashuang turned his brain off and didn't want to think about anything.
