Poink! vs Chesspy

A breakout game where you don't have to break the bricks. The goal is to destroy the wall and the bricks are here to prevent doing it. It's a demake of the classic breakout game Poing, made by Paul van der Valk between 1992 and 2002. My demake has been developed entirely on iPad using the excellent app Lowres NX by Timo "Inutilis" Kloss, available on the app store for iPad and iPhone.

Place chess pieces. Hit every number. Numbered squares are targets. Place chess pieces so each target is attacked by exactly its number — in the app, your pieces are called agents. A 0 is a safe square: nothing may attack it. Match every number and the next board is right there. Every board has exactly one solution, and you can reach it by logic alone — no guessing. Today’s Mission • Twenty boards in a row, growing from 3×3 to 6×6. • Three hearts. Placing or moving an agent so a number newly turns red costs one heart. Removing and undoing are always free. • Lose your last heart and you can see that board’s answer. • Everyone gets the same mission each day.

The agents • The rook attacks along rows and columns, the bishop along diagonals — all the way to the edge, right past other agents. • From board 10 the knight joins in, jumping in an L. • No chess needed.
