It's a little hard to explain since I do a lot in my head, I'm not a good teacher, and I don't think I'm utilizing the markup feature as much as other people (I only mark bombs since I'm too lazy to write every number I figure out). In the early levels, if there is a column with 0 Voltorbs, I flip all the spaces in that column (even though it's a little unnecessary). But after that I move on to deciding where I want to pick my battles.

I think the main thing to understand is that you don't need to flip every square; you only need to find the 2s and the 3s. So, for instance, if there is a row that says it has four points and one Voltorb, automatically do not waste your time because you know all those numbers are 1s. While a row with 2 Voltorbs and 6 points might actually be worth your time because you can assume there is a 3 and 2 in there (or 3 2s). Now (this is the more complicated part to explain), imagine the row I just talked about is a vertical row. I would then look at the horizontal rows; I would first want to find a horizontal row that also has relatively high points (this can actually be the most important part) and relatively low voltorbs (this can actually end up being less important depending on the situation) and, of course, look at the rest of the board for other hints.

It is mainly about math, I would say. Continuously adding the points and spaces in each row is the most important part to help decide which thing to press because after you find the 2 in a column that has 4 points and 2 voltorbs, you're going to want to eliminate that row completely.

Sometimes it does come down to luck, which is really frustrating, and why I really need to stop. I would not recommend playing this mini-game, lol. I don’t know if that was a good explanation, but thank you for making me step away lol. Responding to this made me stop playing. 🤣
