Blackout
A downloadable puzzle for Windows
To those looking for a challenge
Some basic rules:
- The color of a box determines what operations can be used on it.
- Each operation corresponds to a change in the color and or number of the box:
- Addition -> Green
- Slide -> Blue
- Row or Column Swap -> Red
- When a box is black, its locked.
- To solve the puzzle, the color and number of each box must match the solution.
- The first 12 puzzles work through the mechanics of each operation listed below.
- Row and Column Swap:
- Can be applied to one or two rows (or columns).
- Adds a value of one to each row (or column) involved.
- If boxes in a row (or column) are blacked out, the operation applies to any remaining boxes.
- Addition:
- Can be applied to one square or can be applied to pairs of two.
- When applied to pairs, the first square gets added to the second square.
- Multiple pairs can be selected on the same turn.
- Slide:
- Each number moves to the square selected immediately after it.
- Also, a value of one is subtracted from each number involved.
- Can be applied to one square or any number of squares.
- Note: Display window is 1100 by 700, issues may occur on a smaller screen
