BoomLink
Read full descriptionHide full description
Place. Preview. BOOM! BOOM LINK is a satisfying bomb-placement puzzle where every blast pattern matters. Drag bombs onto the board and preview which tiles they can hit. Vertical, horizontal, ring, diagonal, and cross blasts all behave differently. Move your bombs as much as you want before you hit BOOM. Once your setup is ready, detonate everything and watch the chain reaction unfold. Trigger powder tiles to spread the blast. Crack armored tiles with multiple hits. Connect every explosion and clear the entire board. No timer. No complicated controls. Just plan, place, and BOOM! Can you find the setup that leaves no tile behind?

The stars are already on the grid. Connect the ones that belong to the same constellation. The number on each row and column counts main stars, not every star in that line. In a constellation, the main star is the one at the top-left. After you connect them, the main star stays the same size. The others shrink. You work from the numbers. It feels like a logic puzzle. It is not Sudoku, and the shape is not given in advance.
