Bonkies News

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!

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!

We hope you enjoy playing!

Hey there, Space Cadets!

You know that spine-tingly feeling that straightens your tail, makes the fur on your neck stand up and tightens the grip on your banana plush toy? So do we!


That’s exactly what the whole Mission Control HQ is feeling, as Bonkies are putting on space-suits, clicking in their belts and making pre-flight checks. Soon, we’ll see pretty, green, flashing lights on the board, and even though we have no idea what they mean, we’re super excited!

Bonkies will colonise PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in Q1 2021!

Yeah! We can’t wait either!

In the meantime, we’ve prepared a cool instructional video for all aspiring Space Cadets!
A keen eye will probably catch a few cool features that might have gone unnoticed before. Let us know if you find it, or we’ll have to show them in a more obvious way :)

It should answer almost all your burning questions! (No, we still have no idea why bananas curve like that. For better aerodynamics?)

And if you haven’t already, it’d be really swell if you wishlist the game too :)

Greetings dear Space Cadets!

We’re dropping in to share a little surprise with our friends and supporters, and give you an update on what’s happening with Bonkies. Read on!


We wanted to take this opportunity to give a very special thanks to all of the players who have supported Bonkies. Unfortunately, virtual hugs are yet to be invented, so we have to improvise. Instead, all the people who have bought the game in Early Access will now be able to play a nearly final version of the game! We’re very excited to hear what you think, so be sure to send us some feedback or leave a review!

Remember, that thanks to Steam’s Remote Play Together Feature, you can invite your friends to have fun with you, no matter how far away!

But wait, there’s more!
What about all the people who haven’t yet had the chance to play Bonkies?
We’ve got something for them too!


We want to allow as many people as we can the opportunity to play Bonkies and see what the game has to offer - that’s why we’re setting the demo version of Bonkies live and inviting everyone to have some fun! If you have friends that you think would enjoy going bananas in space, feel free to let them know! Or, if you already own the game, you can invite them to Play Together with you!


We also wanted to let you know that Bonkies is well on course and is speeding towards a multi-platform release this year! The ongoing, difficult situation brought about by the worldwide pandemic has slowed the progress slightly, but we’re aiming to deliver Bonkies in Q4 2020.

Right now, we’re nearly done with the hardest and most time consuming parts of development - all the stuff that happens “under the hood” is optimised and polished. We’re checking for any possible bugs and gathering precious feedback on balancing the levels, to achieve that perfect fun-challenge harmony.

Simultaneously, we’re working on making sure that console players will be able to join us in raising wacky constructions all over the solar system! We want to make sure that anyone can become a Space Cadet, whether they’re gaming on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One or PlayStation 4.

As we’re moving forward with development, we’re ever more proud and happy to see our game shaping up and being brought closer to launch to finally let you all take part in space construction!

That’s it for now, but don’t think we’re all done. There are still a lot of exciting things set to happen before we launch Bonkies into space! Keep your eyeballs peeled for updates here and on our Twitter and Facebook. You can also come and hang out at our Discord! It would also mean the world to us if you could spread the word about Bonkies to your friends!

Until next time, Space Cadets!
