Rules and numbers
한국어Every rule and number here is this app's own design. Each is tied to a constant in the code.
| Item | Value | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Board size | 10 per row, 12 rows | Own design. Engine constants COLS and ROWS. |
| Colors | Daily: 4. Endless: 4, then 5 | Own design. More colors make matching harder. |
| Pop size | 3 or more of one color | A widely known rule idea. No text was copied. |
| Ceiling | One row after 6 shots without a pop | Own design. Engine constant MISS_LIMIT. |
| Losing | A bubble on the last line | Own design. Engine constant DEADLINE. |
| Daily shots | 40 shots | Own design. Set by bot simulation (docs/balance.md). |
| Bot check | Only boards a bot cleared in 30 shots | Own design. People miss more than a bot, so there is slack. |
| Popped bubble | 10 points | Own design. Engine constant SCORE_POP. |
| Fallen bubble | 20 points | Own design. Twice a popped one. |
| Shots-left bonus | 30 points per shot | Own design. Finishing early scores more. |
| Tool spacing | Daily: every 9 shots. Endless: every 12 | Own design. Fixed order, shown in advance. |
| Day boundary | Midnight Korea time | Own design. Everyone gets the same board on the same day. |
Hazards and tools
The names and art are new, made for this app.
| Name | Kind | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy stone | Hazard | Never pops. It falls when its chain to the ceiling is cut. |
| Frost shell | Hazard | A colored bubble in ice. It melts when a neighbor pops or a bubble touches it. |
| Burr | Hazard | Breaks when a neighbor pops. Touch it without a pop and the ceiling gets two shots closer. |
| Cracker | Tool | Clears all six neighbors where it lands, stones and burrs too. |
| Sweep | Tool | Clears the whole row of the bubble it touches. |
Bubble: Coral, Amber, Moss, Sky, Plum
The daily board is solvable
Each date makes a board. Only a board a solver bot cleared within 30 shots is used.
If the bot fails, the attempt number changes and the board is made again. The bot uses no random numbers, so every device gets the same board.
A bot clearing it does not make it easy. It means no board is impossible.

Popping groups of one color is an old rule idea. This app uses only that idea. Names, art, wording and numbers are new. No text is quoted.
