It's only some innocent slabs of raw fish on a plate. What's the fun in that? Put away the chopsticks and pick up a screwdriver, though, and you shall soon see what. Coming back from a seeming hiatus, Gam.eBB presents another yummy take-things-apart-to-see-what-you-find puzzle game, this time carefully arranged for play on your mobile device: Dismantlement SUSHI. All you have is a screwdriver (cleverly designed to fit invisibly onto your fingertip). With a few tapping motions, loose your first screw to reveal the game stage. Continue to tap and tilt your device to uncover clues and puzzles that, when solved, allow you to dismantle your sushi dinner even further. Play is very similar to an escape game but more focused on code breaking. After deciphering an initial series of codes, your true dismantlement mission is presented.
While this is probably the easiest/shortest episode of the Dismantlement series, outsmarting the challenges brings up that giddy bubble of satisfaction just as readily. Although it's a bit clunky to scroll through an entire alphabet to input codes, gameplay is intuitive. Keeping a pen and paper handy for notes might help yet is not required: the game is designed so that you can solve puzzles individually and solutions can be memorized. You may feel clueless at first but it only takes a bit of poking about before the scheme of things starts making sense. Yay! A click: the sound of success and another dismantlement that hits the spot.
Thanks to Sam for sending this one in!

At any time you can restart from the beginning by selecting "New Game".
Plate Cover
When you begin, a flower-rimmed cover hides your plate of sushi. Tap twice on the plate cover to open up its puzzle:
Use the arrows above or below the boxes to change the numbers.
Input the correct 3-letter code to dismantle the cover and remove it from the stage.

When the correct code is entered, you'll hear a "click." Tap on "CLOSE" and "BACK". Then, tap the center of the cover again to remove it.
After removing the plate cover, dismantle and remove each piece of nigiri from the plate by solving their codes. From left to right they are:
Tamago (egg)
Tap on that yellowish rectangle of scrambled egg on the left to reveal its puzzle.
You see a star, flower and heart above each of the digits of the code box.
Use the arrows above or below each box to change the letter inside.
Enter the correct 3-digit number to dismantle the tamago.
CLUE:
Pour more tea.
SOLUTION:
Remove and replace the lid on the teapot three times to see three different numbers. Make a note of the designs that pop out along with the numbers...
8 (stars), 5 (flowers), 7 (hearts)
IMAGE: Tamago Solution
A "click" will sound and two screws will appear when you've entered the correct code.
Tap each screw to remove it, tap the "CLOSE" button, and then tap on the center of the tamago nigiri piece to remove it from the plate.
Tap "BACK" to return to the main view of the sushi meal.
Ika (squid)
Ika, the second piece from the left is white and slick looking. Tap it twice to open its puzzle...
Again you see a 3-letter code is needed. Above each digit is a circle with some lines in it.
Enter the correct letters to dismantle the ika.
CLUE:
Look at the cup of tea (with maple leaf on top).
SOLUTION:
Tilt your device to cause the balls to roll around until you can make note of which letters correspond to which lines/designs...
H (2 parallel lines), I (3 parallel lines), T (2 crossed lines)
IMAGE: Ika Solution
When correct, you'll hear a "click" and two screws will appear.
Remove the screws, tap "close", then tap the ika to remove it from the plate.
Back up to the main view.
Ebi (shrimp)
At the middle of the plate is a butterflied piece of cooked shrimp. Tap it twice to zoom in on its puzzle...
Above this 3-letter code you see smiley faces.
Enter the correct code to dismantle the ebi.
CLUE:
Shift the chopsticks.
SOLUTION:
Examining the chopsticks, you see a design printed on them. If you line up the two half circles to make a smiley face, then the other lines match up to form letters...
O Q U
IMAGE: Ebi Solution
A correct code elicits a "click" and two screws.
Remove the screws, click "close", then tap the ebi to remove it from the plate.
Back up to the main view.
Maguro (tuna)
Second from last is a dark pink slice of raw tuna. Tap it twice to reveal its puzzle...
Here are three V-like arrows above the 3-digit letter box.
Enter the correct code to dismantle the maguro.
CLUE:
Look under the mussels soup (Asarino Miso).
SOLUTION:
Watch the pieces as they spin around and eventually they form three letters...
E F L
IMAGE: Maguro Solution
Once again, a "click" and the appearance of two screws marks the correct answer.
Remove the screws, "close" the view and click on the maguro to vanquish it.
Back up to the main view.
Sake (salmon)
The bright orange nigiri on the far right side of the plate is salmon. Tap on it twice...
Above the three letter boxes you also see a 3x3 patterns of dots.
Figure out the correct code and input it to dismantle the sake.
CLUE:
It's also under the wasabi dish.
SOLUTION:
Note where the darkest dot is located for each 3x3 pattern of dots. Then, go to the small white dish with wasabi on it. Tap that dot and watch the progress of dots move along the grid; they form letters...
S M L
IMAGE: Sake Solution
When correct, there's a "click" and two screws appear.
Remove the screws, "Close" the view and then tap the sushi to make it disappear.
Back up to the main view.
Final Dismantlement (last code)
After you've removed all the sushi from the plate, click the plate twice to see what it's hiding: a ticking timebomb.
Click "Danger" to begin dismantling the bomb.
You have 10 minutes to decipher the code before it explodes.
Input the correct code and click "STOP" to win the game.
If you click "STOP" without the correct code, the bomb will blow BUT you'll be returned automatically to the puzzle.
CLUE:
Watch for red lights.
SOLUTION:
For each part of the code, when the correct number appears in the ticking clock above, a red light will appear to indicate which digit matches...
8 5 3
IMAGE: Last Code Solution
If you have the correct code when you hit "STOP", a chime will sound and a green light will appear.
Tap the green light to reveal another screw. Unscrew it and remove the bomb to complete the game!
