NIGHT PLOUGH: A Snow Plough Route Puzzle, Free Demo is a game, paid, with a free browser demo on the store page.
Clear every street. Double back as little as you can. It snowed all night. Before dawn you take the village's one plough out of the depot, and every street has to be clear by the time people wake up. The plough has one tank of fuel, and every stretch of road you drive twice burns more of it. Hold a direction and the plough drives. At a junction it takes the street that best matches the way you are holding.
The road goes black behind the blade and the snow piles up white on both sides. Every village has a best route, and the game knows it exactly No route can avoid driving some streets twice. For every village the game computes the shortest route that clears every street and brings you home, and a notch on your fuel gauge marks where the gauge will stand if you drive it. Match it for GOLD.
Get within 6% for SILVER, within 15% for BRONZE. After every job, press X to see where that best route has to double back. The junctions that force it are ringed. They are the ones where an odd number of streets meet, and learning to see them before you set off is most of the game. Play it in your browser first The free edition on this page is ten villages.
