Levels with reduced lives
Two Dots is giving us levels where the algorithm has tweaked the number of moves. It might be mathematically possible to complete, but in practice it's incredibly difficult.
Take Level 8558. It gave me 20 moves - that's beyond difficult. Now when I go back to view it, it gives me 35 moves, which is reasonable, but it's incredibly difficult at 20. Why? You must get 20 "Target Tiles":
- You start with four on the board.
- You are only given 2 new ones every 2 moves, which means it'll take 16 moves to minimum to get enough (assuming you got every one).
- Plus a move to get the last 2 tiles that just appeared.
- You could then finish the level by activating the Zappers (assuming you have all the rest of the grass complete), total theoretical minimum 18 moves, but remember, your first move must be to get the top-right blue Target Tile, and next move must be the get the top-left Target Tile, etc. There are Trapdoors to take care of, and the board is incredibly small.
Level 8623 gave me 17 moves.. 8622 is even more ridiculous. 15 moves and you barely begin until you get the Beehives to expel all the Honey. 8621 has two Minecarts that you need to move 12 squares...not to mention all the fruit.
