Ask HN: Do you have to be really smart just to understand how to play my game?

Hacker News - Tue, 06/17/2025 - 8:34am

My game, DropZap World, is intended to be a novel but casual game for people who like Tetris and/or Candy Crush.

But it seems some people are overwhelmed by it.

What should I do?

P.S. It has been released recently: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1072858930

Brief intro:

DropZap World is a falling block game with lasers, mirrors, splitters, color matching, and many levels.

Gameplay

* When a circle lands, it fires lasers of its color in eight directions.

* These lasers damage or destroy objects of the same color.

* You pass a level when you destroy all the squares.

Of course, there’s more to it than that — as you’ll see when you play.

CISA Adds One Known Exploited Vulnerability to Catalog

US-Cert Current Activity - Tue, 06/17/2025 - 8:00am

CISA has added one new vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. 

  •  CVE-2023-0386 Linux Kernel Improper Ownership Management Vulnerability 

These types of vulnerabilities are frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise. 

Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities established the KEV Catalog as a living list of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats. See the BOD 22-01 Fact Sheet for more information. 

Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to reduce their exposure to cyberattacks by prioritizing timely remediation of KEV Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria
