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 cost coins. 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 matters. 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.
