a new bontegame: what's inside the box?

Yes I'm launching a new mobile game today! What's inside the box? A wooden box is filled with puzzles, 100 puzzles! Now can you solve them all and discover what's inside??? The app is 100% free, so what are you waiting for? Get it now for your iPhone/iPad or Android phone/tablet by clicking your favourite app store below:



You can watch a trailer for the game on youtube here. The game is absolutely free, but it has one in-app purchase 'premium unlock' if you want to support bontegames (It will also remove the ads you see when you ask for hints and adds a skip level button when you can't get further with the hints).
Let me know what you think about the game in the comments, please no spoilers if you discovered what's inside :) Enjoy my new game, spread the word and happy puzzling!

I'm stuck on 63

Anon the 2nd said...

I've read all the hints in-game and here and I still cannot get 86 to work.. I get that the first move is one press of UP because the is 2 moves up and one down - 2 UP + 1 DOWN = 1 UP. So where there is one up and one down the result is zero so no button pressed. By my reckoning that makes the solution this:
UP - DOWN DOWN - UP UP - DOWN DOWN - UP UP - DOWN DOWN - UP
but that doesn't work..
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong..

Bart said...

Level 63: new sense: each letter stands for a wind direction so it's: North East West South ...

Bart said...

Level 86:
top line is level (0) or 1 up (+1) or 2 up (+2)
bottom line is level (0) or 1 down(-1) or 2 down (-2)
The sum of each position is +1 or -1 -> top or bottom button. There is never one up and and down, the result is never zero, it's always up or down.
So the solution is: up down down up up down up down down

Anon the 2nd said...

86 - Oh man, of course, it's the height of the horizontal line not the direction of the vertical lines added together.. K thanks Bart.. Moving on!..

I'm really stuck on level 52 any tips? I'm really enjoying the game, great work!

Level 92?

Unknown said...

Level 92 Please!! I love your game Bart, actually, i just rated it 5 stars. We also need more levels. "Whats inside the box 2" pleasee!!!!

Bart said...

So for level 92: the knob shows in what direction the next button will be lit. So it does not matter which buttons you press, it only matters how the knob is positioned as it guides the light cursor... Is that clear?

Chris said...

I have been stuck on level 96 for over a week, and it is incredibly frustrating. Following Bart's instruction prove no help whatsoever because i cannot even move the border to all green. Can someone post a ABSOLUTE step by step answer?

Bart said...

Hi Cris, first of all it does not have to green, but any color will do, they just have to be all the same color, but green is fine of course.
Then for the border: even the border you can do with logic, first do the corners:
x--x
----
----
x--x
for example using these buttons:
-11-
----
----
-11-
until all the corners are the same.
Then complete the border, for example to get this Y:
xy-x
----
----
x--x
press alternately the neighbour x to the the left (if you are sure it will change colors left and right) and the y button itself until:
xx-x
----
----
x--x
for all the other buttons you can use the same logic until you get:
xxxx
x--x
x--x
xxxx
and then follow the logic described in a previous comment.
Hope this helps!

Anonymous said...

I STILL don't understand level 96. I need to know EXACTALY what buttons to press in the correct order. The X, Y and 1 stuff just isn't helping.

Anonymous said...

Hi, i'm stuck at 47 i don't understand how we should turn left and right, should we turn the screen to see better? Is the dot go forward alone and we just have to make it turn?
Thanks to answer :)

Bart said...

For level 47: pretend that you are the dot and you need to walk around on the line, so you need to take right and left turns, (the dot will not move, you have to pretend you are walking the line) so it's: r l l r r r l l r r r l l r r r l l r r r l l r

Anonymous said...

Level 96 help!
Imagine the board with letters across and numbers going down.
D3*6,D4*10,C4*3,B4*8,A4*4,A3*5,B2*3,D2*1,B4*1,B2*2,D2*1,B4*1,B2*11,B3*1,B2*11,B3*1,B2*11,A3*1,A1*1,B2*1,A1*1,B2*1 -- This should get you to a stage where you have a green boarder and two orange squares on top of two yellow squares in the middle. It should be pretty easy to get it finished from there :) [don't want to take away all the challenge]
----
If you're really really stuck though
------
Try using c4/a3 alternatly

I stuck on level 84 i dont know what to do please help

Bart said...

For level 84 the straight lines in TILT! are: - | | | - - | |
So the first 4 on the first line of knobs and the last 4 on the second line of knobs:
- | | |
- - | |

Emre said...

Thank you Bart :)

Unknown said...

I'm stuck in level 48.
I'm colorblind btw, so I can't see the colors in the dots.

Bart said...

For level 48: yellow+red=orange, yellow+blue=green, red+blue=purple
I will think about a way to handle this if you can't see the colors. In the meantime here's how to pass the level: push left button 4 times, push right button 6 times, push bottom button 5 times, cheers!

Emre said...

Level 91 help pls!

Mia Ramirez said...

Stuck on 34... can anyone help?

Bart said...

Level 91: inversed logic of level 61.
The purpose is to get all the lamps lit.
A lamp will stay lit when all puzzle pieces that have a piece sticking out in that direction are pressed.
For example the top lamp: first select all pieces that have a piece on top sticking out: top left puzzle and both bottom puzzles, then press the top lamp: it will stay lit, good!
Now do the other lamps in the same way.

Bart said...

Level 34: red in triangle: push 3 times red, green in square: push 4 times green, red in hexagon: push 6 times red, etc.

I'm almost done! ...But I'm stuck on level 100. Any hints?

Hint: this is X:

Do the letters have to be on at the same time?

Bart said...

Yes with the first column of 2 knobs: make a B
with the second column of 2 knobs: make an O
with the last column of 2 knobs: make a X

I understand what you are supposed to do for level 47, but I try and try and get so mad because it never works. I used the hints and tried to think hat I was walking like I was the dot. It's not working and I don't think I can do it. It is way too hard.if you could give me better advice that would be great


Bart said...

For level 47: pretend you are the dot walking the line and taking left and right turns, so it's: r l l r r r l l r r r l l r r r l l r r r l l r

No puedo pasar el level 44, aún que he intentado ya la pistas, no puedo pasar, ¿podría ayudarme? Por favor.

Bart said...

Level 44:
point = press the button, N= point knob to the north, E= point knob to the east, ...
so the solution is:
press button, point North, press button, point East, press button, point West , press button, point South, press button

Anonymous said...

The app is very nice and lovely but I stuck on level 16.

Bart said...

In level 16 you have to press the buttons in a certain order: watch the border of the buttons! (first the button with a border in 1 piece, then the border in 2 pieces,then the border in 3 pieces, and so on)

Even with the hints i can't lit up the 4 squares in the middle of level 92....

InvincibleApurva said...

Hi anonymous, for level 35 assume that screen to be landline telephone's number board. And then press the digits given on bottom left on it.

Someone please help me with 41. I tried moving knobs in the direction given in small figure but that doesn't help, may be I am doing it wrong

Bart said...

For level 41: the four dots each time represent the four knobs, and each time one dot has a line bit that shows how to position that knob
I'll try to explain in more detail:
The top left diagram shows how to position the top right knob: pointing to the left
The top right diagram shows how to position the bottom left knob: poiting to the right
The bottom left diagram shows how to position the bottom right knob: pointing up/left
The bottom right diagram shows how to position the top left knob: pointing down/right

i still dont get level 96 i want to go ahead can u help please

Bart said...

For level 96:
The goal is to get all the buttons the same color (so it does not have to be green, any color will do).
I will try to explain how to solve the level. In this level each tap will alternately change the color of two buttons: left and right from the pressed button, or up and down from the pressed button.
So during the level try to remember each turn what buttons will change: left and right or above and below.
With this knowledge you should be able to make the border (x in drawing below) the same color:
xxxx
x--x
x--x
xxxx

Then for the 4 middle buttons you can use a logic:
----
-xx-
-xx-
----

Suppose you need to get the x below in a certain color:
----
-x--
----
----

You can get the x to the color you want by alternatively tapping buttons 1 and 2 below:
-2--
1x--
----
----

This will only change the color of button x.
You can use the same logic to do all the middle buttons:
----
-xx-
-xx-
----
Good luck! I hope this was a bit clear :)




Note: If you don't know how to first make the border: even the border you can do with logic, first do the corners:
x--x
----
----
x--x
for example using these buttons:
-11-
----
----
-11-
until all the corners are the same.
Then complete the border, for example to get this Y:
xy-x
----
----
x--x
press alternately the neighbour x to the the left (if you are sure it will change colors left and right) and the y button itself until:
xx-x
----
----
x--x
for all the other buttons you can use the same logic until you get:
xxxx
x--x
x--x
xxxx
and then follow the logic described above.

For level 9: try to make a number '9' (press the left button 4 times, press the right button 3 times)

Unknown said...

Can I get some help with 68? I cant see a way to get 2 boxes

Bart said...

For level 68: you should make 2 boxes: one with the 4 corners, and one with the other 4 knobs. If you don't know how, here is a screenshot of the solution: https://goo.gl/photos/hikduP6fhoBqzMtr9

Vojtech said...

Hi Bart, thank you for all your amazing games.
I am stuck at 49 in the box. I know what to do but I can't tilt the ball. It's not moving at all. Pixel 3a, app version 3.4. Previous tilt levels were fine (but I probably finish them before the latest update). Could you please somehow check it? Thank you!
Vojtech

Vojtech said...

Hi Bart, I just tried the level 3 and there is also no tilt. So it is probably thanks to the latest update. I understand that the game is 4yo but fix would be great! Thanks Vojtech. please ping me to nemamanechci@gmail.com if you need any more comments or testing for this bug.

Bart said...

Hi Vojtech, I'm afraid this is not a bug but a problem with your phone, sorry If the ball is not moving your gyroscope is broken/jammed.
You can test by setting your android setting to auto-rotate, and for example launch a browser and see if the screen rotates when rotating your phone.
But it can be solved, I had this also once, it involves lightly knocking your phone in a certain way, you can google it.

Vojtech said...

Hi Bart, thank you for your fast reaction. You are right and I am deeply sorry. I am pretty sure that I tried to restart the phone and other apps were working just fine. But maybe not. The phone battery discharged last night and now everything works. Even your app. Once again really sorry and thank you.
