What Storm Drain asks of you
No warm-ups left: every board starts tough. Every tenth level is a boss board, the hardest board of its run of ten.
Treat the nine levels before a boss as practice for it. If a boss stalls, scan every pair of patches for the counting trick before you test single squares.
Techniques you will need
- Last free squareA row, column or patch is down to one square that can still hold a cat, so the cat goes there.Needed on 100% of Storm Drain boards, about 9.6 times per board.
- Patch in a lineEvery free square of a patch sits in one row or column, so that line belongs to the patch and the rest of it can be crossed out. It works the other way round too.Needed on 99% of Storm Drain boards, about 4 times per board.
- Dead-end squarePicture a cat on a square. If it would cross out every last spot in some row, column or patch, that square can never hold a cat.Needed on 100% of Storm Drain boards, about 19.2 times per board.
- Counting trickWhen two patches fit entirely inside the same two rows (or three inside three, and so on), those rows are theirs. Every other square in them can be crossed out.Needed on 100% of Storm Drain boards, about 2.7 times per board.
