    "Adjustments 2024/06/28"
    ・There was a bug where an event that resets your progress would occur when you got a game over.
    We fixed this in the last patch so that it wouldn't happen, and we've made it a feature from this version onwards.
    This has made the game more difficult.

    ・The algorithm for placing events (bombs) has been changed.
    To reduce the element of luck, the first square is now always set to "0".
    Also, if you haven't taken any damage, you can return to stage selection without initializing your data by selecting "Return to Title" from the menu.

    ・Details of the algorithm for placing events (bombs)
    In the previous version, the part that was automatically generated is now created so that a path from the start to the goal is created, and events (bombs) are not placed on that path.
