How do people manage to win the game with nearly nothing but land mines?

I was just wondering the same, hackers pherhaps?

[Baneriukas]

I think posting a link of the match (from stats.sealhunter.se) would really help...

Thanks for reporting - it's a cheater, he has been banned, move along.

Nevermind! The match report is staying, for the time being - you'll see why when v1.0.1 is released.

It's not cheat .. It's bug. I was reported yesterday.

Walrus is bugged, if one stay right bottom corner and mine up in line, Walrus will try to get him but will be blown up..its glitch you must fix it because people complete game with this glitch..

[Toumaz]

Thanks, fixed! (I hope.)

toumaz we never found out why the land mine only strategy works. you said we would see why when v1.01 was released.

[Toumaz]

No, all I said was that the match report would stay, for reasons of beginning a new scoring season with the release of 1.0.1. Consider those earlier matches to have been "beta" ones considering the number of initial bugs.

Now that this bug is fixed, I'd be interested in knowing how it worked

see you said we will see why the match is staying, meaning you will tell us why it was fair and how it worked

[Toumaz]

It stays for the reasons I outline above - the fact that it isn't actually part of the highscores any longer, and as such I was too lazy to go in and remove it manually ahead of time.

As for how the exploit worked - let's just say that it involved a last minute suggestion during the Beta (I'm looking at you, aXidal!) which I didn't bug test properly. Attempting to buy the land mines twice resulted in being able to use them more than once, wrapping the ammo count around from 0 to 255.
