The L-Bomb

The L-Bomb is the fourth Challenge Mode Campus of the game. Released on 9th February 2023 as part of Valentine's 2023, it features the Upper Etching Campus, and allows only the Countercultural Studies Course. The goal is to encourage the students to develop Romances, with the aid of the visiting Cupid.

The player is tasked with developing as many Romances between Students as possible. Cupid will frequently visit the Campus for an inspection, focusing on either Student Assessment Scores or Happiness. Upon completing his tour, Cupid will fire an arrow into the air, causing a batch of between 1 and 6 Love Bombs to fall onto the Campus, depending on how pleased he was with his inspection.

Love Bombs
Love Bombs are dropped by Cupid following his inspections. With each visit, he will assess either the Assessment Scores or Happiness] of the Student body, and depending upon his satisfaction, will drop 1-6 Love Bombs.

When placed down, a Love Bomb will instantly explode, causing the Love Bomb-ed Feeling in Students within a radius of about 3.5 squares. This will increase the rate at which they develop Romances. Once picked up, the Love Bomb cannot be disarmed, so be sure it is placed to hit as many Students as possible who have not already been Love Bombed.

It should be noted that, despite the large visible area of effect, the Love Bomb cannot affect students through walls. For example, if two adjacent Lecture Theatres are running classes, even if one bomb could reach all of the students in both rooms, a separate bomb would still be required for each room. In addition, if a room is built where a Love Bomb is present, or one is elsewise displaced, the Love Bomb will reappear elsewhere on Campus, it will not be removed until the player chooses where it will detonate.
