Another version of mindsweeper
It is available in web plugin form and universal binary ; for mac only, at the moment.
Ok, this one has some different rules:
- Clicking on lines of 3 or more beads causes them to be destroyed; these count towards your “count”.
- You can only match beads in a horizontal or diagonal line. It counts from whichever bead you click on, so asterisk patterns are the best.
- Matching more than 3 beads gains you energy.
- If you click on a bead that is not in a line, it becomes selected. You may then swap it for any other bead; mouse over another bead to see the energy cost of swapping. Be careful; clicking on a target bead that is already in a line will destroy the pattern, not swap the bead.
- You can hit spacebar after all the beads stop falling to get to an “inner shell”.
- Going into the inner shell costs energy; initially, 25 points (all you have).
- Destroying beads in the inner shell will destroy “outer beads” of the same color.
- Hitting spacebar again will take you back to the outer shell.
- Energy points deducted for “going inside” are returned when you go outside.
- If you wait to hit spacebar until after you’ve destroyed some beads, getting to the inside costs less energy.
