POCKET EXPERIMENT 252

Fuse Garden

Clear all six thorn patches while protecting the top-left reactor. Plant up to four bombs. Quick fuses count down from 2 and blast one cell in each direction; long fuses count down from 4 and reach two. Every placement or Advance countdown ticks ALL fuses, including a new one. Blasts instantly detonate other bombs they touch. Plan chain timing and never let a blast reach the reactor.

Tap tiles, or use Tab and Enter. Arrow keys move board focus.

Challenge notes & source

This challenge has a reachable defeat condition described in the rules. A terminal result locks controls until Reset seed.

Two fuse lengths and blast radii create timed chains; only cleared thorn patches count toward the goal.
