Run and score

Disable every rival to advance. Start with three lives; remaining lives carry between rounds, with one restored on entering every third round, up to four. Later rounds bring more pressure and stronger rivals. Your own blasts hurt too. Steel stops a blast; the first crate absorbs it. Two charges and a three-tile blast give you a useful opening. Charges arm after 0.4 seconds and normally explode after 2.5 seconds. X triggers all your armed charges with a brief ignition flash. Clear each round within two minutes. Scores are local practice; no global leaderboard is connected.

Write your own approach

Launch with --script or type script to open your saved Bash workspace. Copy policy-v2.sh, edit with nano, run chmod +x on your copy, then execute ./your-file.sh. fixtures selects three repeatable runs; standard returns to manual play. Stop cancels. gif, replay and receipt export local practice evidence. Saved files survive re-entry. These games do not submit ranked scores.
