Meet Bonkle, a daily brick-breaker with a monster in it
Our third daily game is out: the same board and the same monster for everyone, five volleys to clear it, and three tries to get it right.
Our first two games, Departle and Reciple, are about working something out. The third one is about hitting something. Bonkle is out today, and it’s a brick-breaker you play once a day.
One board, one monster, five volleys
Everyone gets the same board of numbered blocks each day, and sitting in the middle of it, the same monster. Drag to aim, let go, and a whole volley of balls follows that line, bouncing around and knocking one point off every block they hit. You have five volleys to clear the lot.
Get a few balls above the blocks and they’ll rattle around up there, doing the work for you. Hit a gem and you get an extra ball for the next volley. Those two things are most of the strategy, and they’re enough to keep you staring at the board before each shot.
About the monster
Every day’s monster is a big block with 100 HP, a face, and a name rolled from the date. Knock it down to zero and it explodes, taking a chunk out of every block touching it, so a well-timed bonk can open up the whole board. It watches your balls fly past, and it gets visibly nervous as it runs out of health.
Three tries, and your best one counts
A brick-breaker is about learning the board, so you get three goes at it each day and your best one is your score. Each board has a par of three or four volleys, set by a solver that plays every board before you see it. Beat par and you’ve done something to brag about.
