Basically, the aim of the game is to fill in as much area of the level as possible. The game gives you the amount of level filled as a percentage. Changing this value to end the level does not work as it only displays the value here and isn't stored here. So I ran a debug on the game via "find out what writes to this address."

I was given a single command;
00434997 - 89 1D C87E4500 - mov [00457EC8],ebx

So basically, the percentage was copied from somewhere else. What is ebx? What can I go about doing to hack this game?

If required: The game is called Water Bugs.

It's a demo. I downloaded simply because it's a very simple game and should be easy to hack.

EDIT: also, if I set the search to 4bytes does that mean I'll miss all 2 byte and lower addresses? Am I searching the capacity of the address?

Code:

If you click "more info" it will show you
Im pretty sure it holds the value in hex of the number you just added to the % and moves it to this address [00457EC8].

Code:

Don't underestimate a small game. Just because it is simple doesn't mean it is easy to hack.
It does use some anti debugger tricks.


Just to explain the instruction to you:
00434997 - 89 1D C87E4500 - mov [00457EC8],ebx

mov = moves ebx
ebx = how much of the level you just filled
[00457EC8] = the address the ebx is moved to

In my case EBX was 3F
3F converted from Hexadecimal to Decimal = 63 so it was 63% filled after my move.
