Story

In year 2XXX, there is a rumor of a super computer called 'The Babel' that can grant you any wish if you get to its deepest core. You take a role of one of the most intelligent hackers with yourown hacking tool called "DotPLUS" that turn any security system into just a simple series of mathematics.  However, breaking into the core of The Babel will be more difficult that you could imagine.

How deep could you go? Will you be able to get into the core of The Babel?

Control
 
  Left Mouse          -  Decide/Select Block
  Right Mouse        -  Cancel/ Restart Block Selection
  Mouse wheel up  -  Temporary fasten the blocks speed/Start the explosion

How To Play

SKyr4dhFmYo

  -  Clicking on blocks will add the block value to 'Current Sum'
  -  Match 'Current Sum' to the 'Target Sum' and all the selected blocks will be ready to explode
  -  Before the blocks explode, if you can form another group that makes 'Current Sum' matches the 'Target Sum', you'll start a 'Chain Combo'
  -  Once all the blocks are exploded, the new target sum will be represented.
  -  Once any blocks touch the top, you have 5 seconds to eliminate the blocks to get yourself out of this danger situation. Failing to do so will result in game over.

Tips
  -  If you want to play in fullscreen mode, open display.ini with a text editor and change the number to 1

  -  The more number of blocks used to match the sum, the higher the score you'll gain. So save the longest combination for a higher chain would be a better choice.

  -  Utilize "0" blocks wisely. They add nothing to the sum but they increase the number of blocks used , which mean higher score!  However, not using them might fill your screen with a useless 0 and give you a game over :O

Your YouTube tags were a bit off. Fix it like this:

Anyway, awesome work on this. I watched the video and it seems cool. Gonna download it and then I'll post more.

One note though...

Not everyone has a mouse wheel.


EDIT: Very awesome work on this. Its very smooth, and it keeps a good level of difficulty. Again, very nice job on this.

@Revo
Thank you! I thought the video was still loading haha. As for the mouse control, I had been thinking about it too. I should add a button for calling the next set of blocks. I'm trying to use mouse for all the control so it'll be easier for casual players :)

Since I don't have online highscore right now, feel free to post your score and your level here! Mine is the following

Lv. 47   11,550,400

I got to 57 with 15234200 before I lost :P

it was a 33 and the next would have been 36, and I could have cleared out so many 9's on that next one but I kept missing the ones I was trying to click for the 33 cuz my hands were shaking lol

@Ness
Another one who's going to reach the 100th level @_@ Must...make it harder...

I was informed that the game that's pretty unbalance as the later levels you'll be presented with a lot of 9's, 1's and 0's. I'm now working on remaking this game on Game Maker ( I'd LOVE to continue using Ruby+ Gosu, but I can't stand FMOD license fee since I'm going to sell this game ) Now the number run from  0  - 19 , so it'll be much harder in level 50 and above since you have to do more number crunching. :D

Maybe through Big Fish Games. I've submitted the game for them to see. We'll see what happen...*crosses fingers*

I've decide to make this game stay freeware for now. So here's the link to the new version!

http://gamejolt.com/freeware/games/plus/download/889/

The new version has improved lot of gameplay aspect. Right now the blocks are range from 0 - 19. Also, the danger meter keep on increasing and the only way to decrease it is to destroy blocks. However, the higher the danger meter when you start destroying blocks, the higher score multiplier you'll get. Your good old risk vs reward mechanic :D
