Boovie is a 1998 Czech puzzle video game by Future Games for MS-DOS released in early 1998. It came out on CD-ROM in January 1999.[1] It is based on two games: Boovie (1994) and Boovie 2 (1998) for ZX Spectrum from the same authors.

Gameplay

[edit]

The player controls Boovie, and must push a bright brick into a teleporter to progress to the next level. The game has 20 to 40 levels, depending on the selected difficulty.

Development

[edit]

Boovie is a remake of the game of the same name, which the authors programmed in 1994 for the ZX Spectrum.[1] It's a game inspired by Flappy (1983). After the game, the developers had long tried to create a second part in spring 1999.[2] None of the authors however didn't last long and the project died.[3][4] The game has been translated into English.[5]

Reception

[edit]

The game is Bonusweb's favourite from Future Games, who noted similarities between Boovie and another game from the studio named Bloodie.[6]
