Bomb Squad 2

Now the tuning of the game....

 

Some thought I was making the game easy. Here are some changes to fix this.

 

- The randomness of a board being CUT OUT vs REPLACE increased the more digit you selected to solve. It is now in reverse.

- There will be more fires.

- More board shaking.

- With the option of not having all the parts called out in sequence, parts of a circuit can be either REPLACE or CUT OUT. It is no longer the entire circuit is one or the other. No more easy circuits.

 

These changes will definitely increase the difficulty of the game and change the dynamics.
