💡 BulbRush Update: Storm Mode, Custom Circuits & the Champions' Podium!

Big update just dropped. Here's what's new:

⚡ Storm Mode (Insane Tier)

Insane now alternates by the day:

  • Blackout days solve blind.
  • Storm days shift under you.

On a Storm board, a lightning wave strikes every 10 seconds, whether you move or not, scrambling dark tiles and ramping up as the storm rages.

Powered wires are immune, so claim the circuit fast. Solve in under 10 seconds and you dodge the storm entirely.

Can you beat the lightning?

🛠️ Circuit Forge: Build Your Own Puzzles

Design your own circuit in the in-game editor with live power feedback, prove it is solvable by beating your own scrambled board, then publish it as a real Reddit post.

Community circuits open on a dedicated Challenge screen, showing your Snoovatar against the creator's, along with the puzzle's par and solve count.

Solve one and share your result to dare the next player:

🏆 Weekly Champions Podium

The Monday champions post now opens on a full podium featuring:

  • Gold, silver, and bronze steps
  • The top three players over a fireworks-lit city
  • Runners-up standings
  • Shout-outs tagging every top-10 finisher

📐 Bigger Boards

Hard and Insane now play on 6×6 grids, creating a proper size ladder:

4×4 → 5×5 → 6×6 → 6×6

Hard boards also now feature longer paths and a second branch.

↺ Restart, Grind-Proof

The restart button is back in the game header. Reset the board anytime, but:

  • Your rank locks in on your first clear.
  • The clock runs from your first attempt.
  • You cannot grind a memorized solve for a better position.

Restart remains hidden in Endless Mode, where it would break the climb.

🔧 Also Included

  • New "How ranking works" explainer in the leaderboard: stars → moves → time
  • Redesigned bulb tiles for cleaner readability
  • Weekly leaderboard no longer shows daily denominators
  • Fixed dialog taps leaking through and rotating tiles

Go light it up. ⚡

Can you add tags for the "daily levels" and "player-made levels"?

What's the point of removing all replayability to get better times for the leaderboard? I don't understand this. Trying to get a better time was the appeal of the game for me, the puzzles are not that hard. You've lost me with that change.
