I modified part of the code, mainly changing the border to black—similar to the effect of a GBA port—and to make it easier to center the image on the title screen. I also enabled interrupts to reduce CPU usage, which helps save some battery life when running on actual hardware.

The ninth rebirth requires 1 billion credits, which feels a bit excessive—even with all skills enabled, you cannot reach that order of magnitude.

Also, since special pegs are provided, it would be nice if each slot could display a count and a distribution chart (along with a clear button) to help judge whether the peg settings are having a noticeable effect. It would also be preferable to have a one‑click remove for all special pegs, rather than having to manually remove each one.

The upgrade from Peg Board Upgrade provides almost no improvement, assuming a normal distribution, when Multiplier Upgrade is fully maxed out.

At Peg Board Upgrade Lv8, the slot multipliers are 8000 870 165 43.5 15 6.3 3.2 1.9 1.3 1.1 1 1.1 1.3 1.9 3.2 6.3 15 43.5 165 870 8000, yielding an expected value of 2.2074.

At Peg Board Upgrade Lv0, the slot multipliers are 266 40 10.5 4 2.1 1.3 1.1 1.1 1.3 2.1 4 10.5 40 266, yielding an expected value of 2.1456.

(Additionally, various notification messages appear in the upper-right corner, conflicting with the buttons. Given the current layout, it might be better to move these messages to the upper-left corner.)

Well done! I’m really looking forward to the GBC version port!

Thanks! I'll try implementing this change and see how it feels. Currently, the CPU only takes about 12 seconds to complete one run, while I'm still learning the route myself.

I'm a fan of many of your games, and I've noticed most of them use single-button controls. In this setup, having Player 1 use right-hand keys aligns with most players' habits. However, once more buttons are required, the controls start to feel awkward. I believe most PC players still primarily use WASD for directional input. Perhaps you could merge both schemes – making both control methods simultaneously active in single-player mode. This would allow solo players to use more natural setups like WASD + JKL.

The motion controls and visuals of the game are pretty good, but the single-player mode defaults to the right-side player. Could you change it to the left-side player and use WSAD as the default controls?

Also, the CPU opponents seem incredibly strong – I haven't managed to win a single game so far.

I have a question: The game can be played entirely using a mouse, but when I tried to play via touchscreen, there was no response. Other online Unity games can recognize touchscreen input as mouse input.

Oh, I wasn‘t aware of the existence of a Steam version. I simply wanted to be able to play without an internet connection, so I'll go ahead and purchase the Steam version. Thank you!

I noticed that Drill-Off offers an offline version. Could you also provide an offline version for Chop Ahoo? Thank you.

Thank you!

I tried clicking on the position in the first row and second column, but a strange shadow appeared.

1. I noticed the game can basically be played with touch controls, but it seems there's no way to use the erase function (right mouse button) with touch. Could you add an extra button for erasing?
2. Additionally, it would be great to have a marking system similar to synthesis—for example, first individually marking a block as cold/hot or liquid/solid, and then manually or automatically combining the block types.
3. The distinction between cold solids and hot solids doesn’t feel very intuitive to me—the metal icon gives me a cold impression. While I haven’t thought of a perfect way to represent all four states, perhaps using dynamic icons for liquids? Or using circular/other shapes for solids?

After getting this tip, I found that I could successfully complete the brainy 

BTW, I use windows tablet to play this game and it works well on touch screen, thanks a lot for this game!

WOW! After playing for a few months, I noticed for the first time that slots can be stacked with consecutive cards starting from any number (not just Aces)!

Before that, I only temporarily stored one card in each slots :)

Also, mouse/touch is treated by the game as released and shot after dragging beyond the edge due to loss of focus, maybe adding recognition of cursor to edge and treating it as canceled would be better.

Surprisingly, it's a Chinese song! No wonder it feels very familiar to me, thanks.

By the way, is it possible to tie in a full map view for 1P as well, I found that this game is actually quite easy to operate on mobile, it's just that it lacks a full map view (since only the 1P button is available on mobile version)

The main music of the game sounds familiar to me, but I don't know what it's called, can you tell me? Thanks.

With your answer, I have some new questions:

Q1: I get the swap after getting the double jump, that location is not in the map expansion but can I get to that location with a normal jump at the beginning of the game? Compared to the original Celestial, this game seems to lack dash.

Q2: Since I'm just getting normal fish over and over again in Fishing, and lacking a clear target, I checked the code (sorry). According to the calculations, if I need to get the double jump with a 50% probability, I need 266 successful fishing trips. Seems overly harsh on the success rate. (BTW, it actually took me an hour to get the double jump after fishing 136 fishes, so I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky.)

I managed to get a higher score after the update, however now prints

2.2761:16:-1100

V1.1.2 is printed in the upper left corner, which is indeed the updated version.

Maybe I need to clear the storage and retry the round to see if it does anything

It was very difficult, I could only get 24

After playing a round of dodge mode, it prints

BEST DOUGE TIME: 2.2117:12

What does this time format mean?

With this update, I've noticed that the TILE at the top doesn't show the placed building, but the building should still be there (-10 for placing it again).

PS: The new smiley icons are much easier to understand!

I totally agree with you, in the first round I totally misunderstood what the + meant, saw it as an X and tried to avoid placing it, and ended up only getting 50 points

1. I restarted the game with a new game and using only the Start pack of stamps did not reproduce the glitch, so I'm not sure what happened then. Given that it only happened once in a long game, perhaps it would take a large number of stamps to reproduce the glitch.

2. because of the sequencing issue in (3), I tend to open Mystery only if I must, so I would leave the unopened Mystery pack on the desktop, but this pack would only last for two at a time. Purchasing the third pack still results in only two packs, but I have paid for that.

It's a fun game, and I completed several rounds of it.

During the game, the first problem I encountered was that the Setting card needed to be returned to its original position in order to take effect. I didn't understand this principle until today, and I wanted to play a simple breezy, but I was dragging the Setting card -> selecting breezy -> dragging the Start card, so I actually completed several rounds of balanced. 

 Additionally, rapidly dragging the entire deck of cards around can mess up the deck, possibly clicking on a card in the middle of the deck during the process of restoring the deck,

Amazing!

Aside from some slight differences from the original version (which I think are pretty common), there are a few glitches, but they don't affect the overall gameplay:

ALL: Mushrooms and flowers appear so fast that it's difficult to break the brick next to it immediately after hitting the 1UP mushroom in 1-2

1-2: Hidden bricks (9C?) show up as ? blocks

3-1: One of the pillars at the end drops straight down and a 1UP sound effect is heard, after which it gets stuck into the pillar 

Update: After retrying, I found out that it was a glitch in bgb after reading savestate, I'm not sure exactly why, at the moment I think it's a issue on the emulator side. 

Update again: it's not a bgb issue either, I'm updating the correct version of bgb and savestate is functioning fine. Very sorry about that.

This game is very fun and addictive.

I hope there is more content, and a Steam version.

The problems I've had so far are as follows:

1. during the stamp organizing process, I performed an unsure action that caused the stamp organizing to get stuck and a parcel to become always selected. There are only a few stamps left on the screen that can be manipulated, most of the stamps cannot be manipulated, and moving certain components may cause the animation of the stamp sorting to continue, or it may cause the component itself to become inoperable. I managed to complete the level, but one of the stamps remains on the screen and inactive for the rest of the process.

2. You can only purchase a maximum of two packs of Mystery Stamps. Please hide the purchase option when the limit is reached, or just remove the limit.

3. the result of the stamp sorting is random, it would be better if the mystery stamps can be sorted to the bottom.

4. the values may need to be balanced further, mailing a $0.25 parcel that I can earn $2 from is a strange thing when you think about it.

5. the game currently goes back to august 1st after august 31st even though I tried to get to september 1st in endless mode.

Very funny game!

I noticed that the Android version adds an indication of the position of the crank on the buttons, could this be added to the online version as well?

It would be nice if the buttons could be configured for viewpoint, I subconsciously put upper right (instead of upper left) as up button.

Auto-attacking while aiming the sword might make the game a little easier.

另外，建议直接在游戏内UI里直接提供 选择语言/Language 的双语提示，或者在现阶段直接在启动界面直接提供语言选择？

内容挺吸引人的，虽然操作有些繁琐，但是玩习惯了后很有意思。

看起来整体系统挺完备的，但是章节数量不多，有制作后续的章节或者卖完整版的计划吗？

另外，能弄一个存档系统吗？有一些选择我感觉没有想象中好判断，特别是最后的判决部分…………

The graphics and atmosphere of the game and appealed to me and I've completed the first two chapters. It seems that the third chapter is not ready yet, so I look forward to following updates.

One thing I'm wondering is why in the first chapter, the village chief's last name is still Pan, and in the second chapter it becomes Wu, and there's no mention of Wu as a last name in the in-game text.

I'm playing with the second chapter, where the order of the last name and first name doesn't match in the two epistles; one is written as Shen Jingyu and the other as Jingyu Shen.

PS: Is it possible to provide a Chinese translated version?

第 γ 关通过后好像直接返回菜单了，没有给出原因

更新：放弃了，瞎猜确实猜不出来，想了一下，■■■估计是根据已有的内容当场生成后续的答案的。原始谜题的体验还挺好的，不过我现在也回不去了，还有好几个扩展的题没解……
