Chapter 113 Winning is more uncomfortable than losing
As everyone knows.
The original meaning of the match-3 game is that three identical patterns will be automatically eliminated when connected together, so it is called a "match-3" game.
Three identical patterns/colors/squares are the basis for elimination!
But in the match-3 game, in addition to the most common elimination of three identical patterns, there will also be situations where four, five, or six identical patterns are eliminated.
In this case, some games do not allow multi-block elimination. Some games will give extremely high elimination "scores", and the elimination sound effects and special effects will be more gorgeous.
"Junk Crush" allows multiple blocks with the same pattern to be eliminated at the same time.
When more than three blocks are eliminated at the same time, different sound effects and visual effects will be given according to the number of blocks eliminated.
At the same time, the system's underlying garbage cleaning program will also determine the "intensity" of cleaning based on the number of blocks eliminated.
This is Chen Ba's preset plan.
During game testing, he also considered the situation where "multiple blocks are eliminated at the same time."
But he ignored one thing.
That is, there is a variable "character skill" in the game. After certain conditions are met, the character skill can be used to appear, and more than 10 blocks with the same pattern will be eliminated.
More than ten blocks with the same pattern are eliminated at the same time. This is basically difficult to achieve in traditional match-3 games, even with "krypton gold props".
But "Garbage Breaker" can.
Because the character skills are varied, some are to blow up some blocks, some are to change the position of some blocks, and some are to directly change the original pattern of the blocks...
This results in multiple blocks of the same color being eliminated by using the right character skills at the right time, something that is easily replicated.
As for the underlying code created by the system, the logic is that the more blocks that are eliminated, the greater the intensity of garbage cleaning.
According to the test standard, nine blocks with the same pattern and color are eliminated at the same time. This cleaning intensity is already full. After all, at the time of testing, the game characters were not ready yet, and there was no possibility of more blocks being eliminated at the same time.
so……
"how did you do that?"
Yang Dong scratched his head, puzzled and asked: "How come our garbage cleaning program can't even be cleaned by other people's software?"
He has used many kinds of junk cleaning software. Generally speaking, the so-called "deep cleaning" of these software is just fun to watch, but it really doesn't have much depth at all.
However, after eliminating ten blocks at once in "Garbage Eliminator", the cleaning bug that appears is a real "deep cleaning".
The software has been cleaned up. Isn’t this deep enough?
"I won't make it!"
Chen Ba shook his head, looking confused.
When I woke up in the morning, I originally wanted to see how many real users the ads placed yesterday had converted.
Who would have thought that as soon as I woke up, I would be stunned by the feedback from various players. When more than 10 blocks are eliminated at the same time, the software represented by the block will "disappear" from the phone!
In the game "Junk Crush", the blocks eliminated are all common software on the market, and the patterns are also very similar.
for example.
When you eliminate ten WeChat icons at the same time in the game, WeChat will be uninstalled from your phone and disappear.
Who can withstand this?
Players complained one after another. I asked you to clean up the WeChat trash, but I didn’t ask you to give away WeChat to Joy!
"I tried it..."
Xiao Lu hurriedly came to Huihui to report: "If more than 10 blocks are eliminated at the same time, this bug will be triggered, causing the target software to execute an uninstall command."
Real physical elimination!
There is no need to clean up the garbage now, my friend will help you send away the garbage creators directly.
"There is another situation!"
Xiao Lu gasped and said: "Among the patterns that players can eliminate, there are also patterns from "Garbage Eliminator"."
"This also means that if the player eliminates ten "Garbage Match" symbols in the game at the same time, the game will be automatically uninstalled!"
Chen Ba/Yang Dong: "..."
Do I kill myself?
Even if Joy takes away other software, how can it take away itself as well? It is simply unheard of to organize a funeral for oneself!
"It's... pretty good."
Seeing that Brother Ba's face was a bit ugly, Yang Dong tried to make up for it: "This shows that our games treat everyone equally and are selfless, and there is no rogue software behavior that protects favoritism."
"If you say so, it is indeed quite selfless. Rogue software will not let it go even if it is ruthless like us."
Chen Ba said quietly: "But I have never seen any anti-virus software that defines itself as a virus. I have never seen any garbage cleaning software that treats itself as garbage."
"..."
How do you answer this?
Yang Dong and Xiao Lu looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Didn’t Brother Ba make this thing himself? Why does Brother Ba look so ugly, as if he stepped on dog shit?
…
Chen Ba's face was indeed ugly.
But Zhang Jianhua's face was even uglier than his, because he gave Amway "Garbage Eliminator" to his office colleagues, and the whole office started playing this game.
The game has a PK mechanism.
In addition to randomly matching opponents, you can also build your own house and invite friends to PK together.
Zhang Jianhua called his colleague Lao Wang, and took advantage of the lunch break to have an exciting Xiaoxiaole showdown.
Lao Wang recharged his money!
I don’t know where he got the character from. He looks like a foxy girl, wears revealing clothes and moves voluptuously, which is very vulgar.
It's not a big problem that the character is vulgar, but the problem is that this character actually has a skill that can reorder the blocks in a certain area.
This skill can be used not only on yourself, but also on enemy targets.
Then Zhang Jianhua was unlucky.
During the PK process, Lao Wang used skills on him whenever he saw an opportunity. Because Zhang Jianhua didn't pay attention to the news on the Internet, he saw Lao Wang helping him reorder the blocks to make it easier to eliminate, and laughed at him for not being able to play games.
"Ding ding ding!"
The pleasant elimination sound effect sounded, Zhang Jianhua got a 10-hit combo, ten blocks were eliminated at the same time, and the score skyrocketed.
Just this time, he cleaned up nearly 10G of junk files.
"Lao Wang, you can't do it!"
Zhang Jianhua, who had prepared his victory speech in advance, did not realize the problem at all and kept mocking: "Are you sending me warmth? What do you mean by always using your skills on me?"
"Isn't this helping you?"
Lao Wang was not angry even after being ridiculed, and said cheerfully: "My character must be awesome. If I rearrange the order, I can eliminate more than a dozen blocks at once."
"It's really awesome, but it's just the blocks I eliminated. Why are you so happy about it?"
Zhang Jianhua shook his head and said: "Aren't you an old fool? The PK is almost over, and you still give me points?"
There is no reason not to eat the points delivered to your door. Another reordering, Zhang Jianhua, with the help of Lao Wang, once again eliminated a large area of blocks with the same color pattern.
"PK victory!"
With the end of the countdown, this Xiaoxiaole showdown also ended.
Zhang Jianhua won the final victory, cleaning up a total of 24.7G of junk files. Lao Wang regrettably lost this PK because of playing blindly.
"You're still laughing, what's so funny?" Zhang Jianhua was surprised.
It was obvious that he was the winner, so why was Lao Wang smiling happier than himself? Did he make a mistake? He is the loser!
Forget it, leave him alone.
Too lazy to think about what medicine Lao Wang was selling in his gourd, Zhang Jianhua looked at his watch and quit the game decisively.
Lunch break is almost over.
He wanted to go to the toilet and asked the fishing friend he just met two days ago if he would like to go fishing after get off work.
But just when he quit the game and stood up to walk to the toilet, he was immediately stunned when he saw the short video software and WeChat disappearing from the main page.
"Hahaha!"
Lao Wang, who had been paying attention to Zhang Jianhua, laughed out loud when he saw his stunned expression.
"Did you do this?"
Zhang Jianhua was very angry and turned to ask Lao Wang: "How old are you? Why are you still playing such childish tricks?"
"You kept your phone in your pocket, how could it be me?"
Lao Wang denied: "Think about it carefully, what did you do just now? How much garbage did you clean up?"
How much trash was removed?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianhua suddenly thought about it.
During the PK just now, he really didn't pay attention. Now that he thinks about it, he cleaned up 24.7G of garbage in one go. This is a bit wrong!
After so many rounds of cleaning on his phone, how could there still be so many junk files? Where did this 24.7G garbage come from?
Thinking of the DouX short videos and WeChat that disappeared from the phone, Zhang Jianhua suddenly showed a surprised expression and asked: "You mean, this game has uninstalled WeChat and DouX?"
"What if?"
Lao Wang couldn't help laughing and said: "I've told you, my character is very powerful, but you still don't believe it, now you know why I top up the money?"
Zhang Jianhua: "..."
Bad, fell into a trap!
No wonder Lao Zhang kept showing off his new role. No wonder he was happier when he lost the PK than when he won. It turned out that he had planned it long ago.
How could this happen?
…
Thanks to the recommendation and advertising of Huazi App Market, the download volume of "Junk Xiaoxiaole" is not low.
However, the reputation of this software can be described as mixed.
When it was first revealed that the game would uninstall the target software by eliminating 10 blocks of the same color, few people took it to heart.
After all, in this type of match-3 game, it is difficult to eliminate ten blocks at once. And after everyone knows this, they will naturally be on guard and not use character skills easily.
But when a player accidentally discovers that the character's skills can be used not only on himself, but also on PK enemies, this becomes a trick to deceive others.
Many players who don't know the inside story, after seeing the enemy using skills on them, think that they have taken advantage and eliminate the blocks without thinking much.
This elimination would be a bad thing.
Although I won the PK, my phone also became empty. Is this really a good deal?
And there’s one more thing…
You know clearly that the other party is deliberately tricking you with hidden evil intentions when using skills on you, but looking at the connected blocks, a large area can be eliminated with just one click. Can you really resist clicking?
I can't stand it, I can't stand it at all!
This is like a Yasuo player who sees five dotted lines at the same time. He knows that he will die if he takes the ultimate move, but it is really difficult to control his hand.
You can re-download the software after uninstalling it, but if you eliminate the temptation of ten blocks of the same color at once, if you don’t click with your fingers, you won’t be able to sleep well at night.
Because of this, the player psychology of "Garbage Breaker" is very strange.
The blocks are eliminated by oneself. After Tianba’s official announcement, they also know what the consequences of eliminating the blocks will be...
But I just want to order it if I’m cheap!
After clicking it, I regretted it. When I regretted it, I came to scold Tianba Studio and scolded "Garbage Breaker" for being a veritable "garbage" game.
Eliminate blocks?
wrong! This is not eliminating blocks, it is clearly one-click formatting on your phone!
In order to win this PK, the price that players need to pay may be that after this game is over, only the game "Junk Crush" will be left on the phone, and nothing else will be left.
Oh no...
If you are unlucky, "Junk Eliminator" may also be gone together with other software.
"It can't be fixed."
Chen Ba has become accustomed to bugs in games.
It’s not like he hasn’t thought of other ways to reduce the damage caused by this bug to the game environment, such as weakening the skills of certain characters, making character skills unable to be used on enemies, etc.
But Xiao Lu's words made him change his mind.
“Since this bug appeared, the number of people making money in the game has doubled several times. It’s really strange...”
Eh?
Chen Ba was stunned when he learned that this bug actually caused some characters to become very popular and players spent money to draw cards.
So will this character's skill be weakened or not?
If the character skills are weakened, there will not be so many "ten-match matches", and the impact of this game bug will be minimized.
But if this is done, will there still be so many players spending money to draw characters?
After thinking about it, Chen Ba felt that the key to the problem was whether players could accept the special bug of "Junk Match" that would uninstall some software for ten consecutive matches.
If you can accept it, then don't worry about it. There may even be a few more perverted characters in the future to make the ten-match series appear more frequently.
If you can't accept it, then for the sake of long-term interests, you really need to stop it, weaken the character's skills, and adjust the probability to not allow multiple blocks to be eliminated at the same time.
Chen Ba took a look backstage.
The result is very surprising. It was originally a match-3 game aimed at middle-aged and elderly people, but as a result, young people account for a very high proportion of the player base.
Most of these players deliberately downloaded and tried it after hearing about the interesting fact that "Garbage Eliminator" would uninstall the software.
In other words.
After this bug appeared, the number of players of "Garbage Breaker" not only did not decrease, but actually increased.
They are all fun people!
Betting on PK formatted on mobile phones sounds very interesting. Everyone wants to experience the feeling of plotting against others in PK.
Use skills to eliminate a large block with one click and win the PK. The price is that the software represented by the block is uninstalled...
If it were you, would you order it?
Because the software can be downloaded again even if it is uninstalled, many people will not hesitate to click delete when faced with this choice.
Of course, there are also scoring situations.
If the connected blocks are insignificant or infrequently used software, they will be eliminated by deleting them. At worst, you will have to re-download and install them.
But if it is WeChat QQ, pink risk software, unhealthy video software...
Then it depends on determination!
Some people would rather lose this PK than lose these software, let alone let their opponent's conspiracy succeed.
Some people wiped away tears and endured the heartache and clicked to cancel. Although they won the PK, their expressions were uglier than those who had lost.
