Game Is Hard Level 67 Breakdown
What You See
A 5x5 grid is packed with blue squares, with two blue circles — the 'lovers' — at opposite corners: bottom-left and top-right. The goal is to make them meet.
Tapping any blue square deletes it and moves whichever lover is nearest that gap one step toward it. The catch is that 'nearest' is measured in grid steps, so the wrong lover can move if you tap carelessly.
Why You're Stuck
I tapped squares hoping to clear a straight path, but the wrong lover kept moving and I'd create new dead ends. It felt like the game was ignoring my taps.
The key was the proximity rule: the closest lover to the tapped square moves, not necessarily the one I wanted. Once I counted the grid distance before each tap, I could steer each lover deliberately toward the middle.
The Answer
Tap the blue squares in a specific sequence so the closest lover steps toward each gap, guiding both to the center. The working order is (4,3), (3,4), (0,1), (1,0), (0,4), (2,4), then (2,2), which walks both lovers to adjacent center cells.
How to Beat It
Work through it one move at a time.
- Step 1: Start the bottom-left lover. Tap the square at (4,3) — bottom row, one left of the corner. The bottom-left lover is closest, so it steps right toward the center.
- Step 2: Nudge the top-right lover. Tap (3,4) to move the top-right lover down one step, then (0,1) and (1,0) to keep the bottom-left lover climbing inward.
- Step 3: Converge in the middle. Tap (0,4) and (2,4) to pull the top-right lover into the middle row, then tap (2,2) so the final step brings the two adjacent and the level clears.
Troubleshooting
- The wrong lover moved: the closest lover to the tapped square always moves. Count grid steps (horizontal + vertical) to both lovers before tapping, and pick a square closer to the one you want.
- I tapped a square and nothing useful happened: you may have hit an equidistant square, which triggers a tie-break. Choose a square that's strictly closer to your intended lover instead.
- I'm stuck with no path: don't clear one lover all the way first. Alternate between them, clearing a converging diagonal so both advance together toward the center.
Why It Works
This is a pathfinding puzzle where the movement rule is the real challenge. Every tap is a movement command, not just an obstacle removal, and it always acts on the closest lover by Manhattan distance. Players who think 'remove a block in my path' get wrong results because the game's notion of 'closest' doesn't match their intent. The solution is to treat each tap as a precise steering input, alternating between the two lovers so they converge on the center rather than one racing ahead and trapping the other.
The Rule to Carry Forward
When removing obstacles also triggers movement, know exactly which piece moves before you tap — usually the nearest one by grid distance. Alternate between targets and guide them to converge rather than finishing one at a time.
- Understand the trigger rule: the closest piece to the gap is the one that moves.
- Count grid distance (Manhattan) before tapping to steer the intended piece.
- Alternate between both moving pieces so they meet in the middle.
Count the grid steps from each lover to the square before you tap. The closer one moves, so pick squares that favor the lover you want to advance.
Tapping squares assuming they'll move the lover you're focused on. The closest lover moves, so an unplanned tap can send the wrong one off course.
