BonVoyage! A True Brain Workout

BonVoyage! is a new puzzle game in town revolving around tile dragging and path reconstruction. Have you ever played with those childhood toy puzzles with reconstructing the image by tile dragging with only one space free? That was the core inspiration for this little relaxing cartoonish game.

On top of that few gameplay variations have been added to the mix so you are always faced with new challenges. Being it missing tiles so you have to cleverly reuse some of the existing ones, tiles moving in a mirrored way, multiple potential starts/finishes where not all have a solution, locked tiles that require reaching first the key, all this and different combinations make for a new experience each time. Engage in a beautiful cartoonish style, collect achievements and beat the best scores. Help lost heroes find their way home!

Gameplay

Reconstructing the paths to help lost knights reach the finish in each level is the main goal. There are frequently various ways how to reach that goal so it’s up to you, the fewer moves, the better. You can compare your results with others in leaderboards or concentrate on unlocking all the achievements. But most importantly have fun! Campaign slowly introduces new gameplay mechanics and using the integrated tutorial system explains the basics. Later on, the difficulty is increasing to challenge you on your to beat the game!

Too easy? Turn on the timer mode or hide path helpers to make it harder, there is something for everyone. Doing this allows you to collect additional badges and move up the leaderboards.

Feeling stuck?

History

Game is a successor to an award-winning Car Puzzler (Best Mobile Game 2018 in Slovakia, released on Steam / Google Play / App Store). Both games were developed by a solo game developer Boris Zapotocky, who after spending many years in AAA game industry (participated on games like Mafia 2 or lately Kingdom Come: Deliverance) decided to try indie path and has created both these games in his free time, during weekends and in the evenings (as he has 2 small children and spare time is scarce). BonVoyage! development was partially funded by Slovak Arts Council.
