Block Blast teardown links unsolvable deals to ad pricing and viewing history
What happened
On October 24, Hacker News featured Ayo Omolewa's technical teardown of Block Blast. The game downloads rules from a server and, based on ad price, ad viewing history and player score, requests piece combinations that cannot be completed. One rule in the test required that the last three rewarded ads had been watched, that the pending ad was worth 3.5 times the previous one, and that the current score exceeded the record by 1,000 points. The report also says an iPhone test captured another rule triggering an unsolvable deal.
