Bonkies News

It's been a while since we streamed Bonkies, or even wrote an announcement here. But we haven*t forgotten you all who play or wishlisted the game.

On Friday the 12th of August we're going to stream Bonkies here, as well as on Twitch (and possibly YouTube). You are welcome to join our Discord, or chat with us via either of the platforms through which we stream. Feel free to ask us anything!

Hey everyone!

We are very glad to announce Once Upon a Jester - a new diamond in our publishing lineup!

Once Upon a Jester is being developed by Bonte Avond - a game studio made up of 4 musicians. They really like going with first ideas and putting lots of homemade indie music in their games. Always trying to be conscious of diversity in their games a- there’s a lot of jokes in Bonte Avond’s games, but never at anyone's expense. You may heard of them because of their previous game - Everybody Wham Wham.

Check out our announcement trailer:

The game is a story about best friends Sok & Jester planning a mischievous scheme to steal the Royal Diamond! To complete their master plan, they must start an improv theatre show and outperform every other act - including their rivals, Hofnar & Bok. Only becoming the best show in the kingdom will get them invited to the Royal Theatrical Spectacle in the Royal Palace, where the king keeps his precious gem.



They embark on a grand adventure across a fantasy kingdom, meeting tons of wacky characters, performing improvised shows and singing their hearts out. Along the way, they unintentionally discover the freedom and joy of musical theatre. Will the pair change their wicked ways or do whatever it takes to get rich?





Once Upon a Jester is coming soon on PCs and other platforms. Find out more about the game and stay updated by adding it to your Steam wishlist:

Bonkies is all about wholesome cooperation and good, light-hearted fun!

We know that some of our Cadets are well trained video game veterans with much experience and a professional, goal-oriented attitude.
But we also know some of some of our Cadets appreciate a less-challenging experience, that requires a bit less coordination and provides a more relaxed time.

So, to make sure everyone can enjoy Bonkies at their own pace, we're introducing two difficulty modes!

Take a look at our new trailer!

Chill mode introduces changes like:

• A more forgiving physics engine, which makes the blocks easier to manipulate
  
• Longer time limits required to finish a level
  
• Special blocks take longer to explode
  
• Jetpacks take longer to overload

For those of you who enjoyed the original mix of fun and challenge, the professional mode is just the way you like it.

So if you know someone that you'd like to play Bonkies with, but weren't sure if they'd be up to the challenge, now is the time to invite them to have fun together!

And if you're not 100% sure whether or not Bonkies is for you, feel free to check out our new demo!

We hope you enjoy playing!
