Hello, friends! The game now has Spanish localization, thanks to Imma! Again, if you are missing your language and would like to translate the game (around 250 words), just give me a shout here or on the official page of Car Puzzler

Car Puzzler now supports localization. Hopefully this makes my game more accessible for everybody. Hint at where you can find Tutorials and main game rules overview were added as well :). As I've recently added localization system with simple csv parser into BonVoyage!, I've decided to port it to my first game as well for all of you to enjoy and maybe even replay :). https://store.steampowered.com/app/1081890/BonVoyage/ First batch of added languages includes German (thanks to Josef), French (thanks to Yann) and Slovak translation. Any additional language can be added later. if you want to participate in translation, please let me know!
Enjoy your localized puzzle adventure with more than a 100 levels! Remark: As Steam is sometimes lazy with updates, if you don't see the localization menu, please restart steam to force steam client to check for game updates Thank you and enjoy the update! Boris

Something amazing and so unexpected has happened... My teenie tiny puzzle game has been awarded Best Mobile Game of 2018 by Slovak Game Developers Association!
Thank you so much, I was completely taken aback by this and still am not really sure it's not some kind of a dream, so pinch me !
Big congrats also to guys awarded for their HellMut: The Badass from Hell and Shadows Awakening, awesome achievement, hats off! https://store.steampowered.com/app/705620/HELLMUT_The_Badass_from_Hell/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/585450/Shadows_Awakening/

Guys, I'm proud to announce that my little game was nominated for the Slovak Game of the Year 2018 award!
If you like the game, you can vote for it at Sector.sk page until 24th of May, appreciated! Additionally, if you had a good time with the game, please consider writing a review, so we hit the minimum of 10 reviews to show the score, thank you! Boris

Hi, guys! I'm ready to reveal my next project that is currently in development. Working title BonVoyage, it is again a puzzle but not focusing on the sliding mechanics and variations (reconstruct the world to help stranded knights find their way home). Gameplay preview video
Based on the feedback for Car Puzzler, I'm trying to make it more accessible (tutorials integrated into the campaign not separate in extra tab, free camera to enjoy the cartoonish 3D world, more focus on the visuals, better level sorting to avoid difficulty spikes, etc. :). More info can be found on the FB page of the project: BonVoyage
So in the meantime have fun solving the 100+ levels of Car Puzzler and see you Q1 2019 with my new game! Kind regards, Boris

Hi guys! Welcome to all the new players from Steam Summer sale! I'd like to ask you to find a bit of time and review the game in case you liked it or it gave you a bit of a challenge. It will help me very much with the visibility! Much appreciated!
In the meantime game got updated with AR on mobile platforms, more info on the FB page: https://www.facebook.com/carPuzzler/ Furthermore I'm slowly starting to work on a new project, I'll keep you updated as soon as I have some screenshot/video to share :).

With hot summer days here I've prepared a small refreshment for you all! As of today game got a new free 8 level summer pack, enjoy! To play free levels, switch to Extra levels tab and scroll down to Summer Pack section.
So in total we now more than a 100 levels to play and of course and easy way to create your own levels within minutes with the ingame editor :). Have a nice summer! Boris

Last weekend the game was playable at the largest game/pop culture oriented show for masses in Slovakia. People had a great time! Some of them were even returning to "solve that one more puzzle"

Tablet felt a little dirty after a whole day of gaming ;).

Today the game was expanded with 10 new levels. You can find them at the end of Extra levels tab! Levels are showing how just a slight change of rules can create interesting variations to the solution and change the overall difficulty.
More updates like this are planned for the future. Happy puzzle solving and I hope you like it!

Announcing Level creation contest!

Announcing Level creation contest!

Are you playing the game?

Are you playing the game?

Week 1

Level creation from idea to working level

Basically it all starts with an idea for level scribbled on paper

Open the Level Editor and you can draw the basic level outline with Helper line mode

Continue with putting down Road tiles

In case we want to have required points to be passed, set that in Game settings section

For each path choose color and place Start point. Switch to Required goals, place those. Uncheck required goals and place Finish point

Place filler universal goals

Setup Mirror rules: Choose rule type (in this case Mirror XZ -> mirroring in both axes), end select points of two paths that you want connected with this rule

Choose a name for the level and save it! Now it is time to test it. You can find your created levels in User Levels tab. Open new level and finish it to validate.
[/olist] When the level is finished and thus validated you can share its QR code to others! That's it, want to give it a try and overwhelm others with your creative genius :)?

Dear players, the game is now officially available. Have a great puzzle solving and don't forget to share you experience, screenshots, compete in leaderboards, unlock achievements, try the different gameplay options or create your own levels! And last but not least, here you go with a free level to scan into the game (click to see the full size image). Scanned levels can be found in User Levels tab (along with levels you create in editor).
Thank you for all your support and happy gaming! Boris

Are you a collector? Being eager to compare your skills with friends? Great, plenty of achievements to grab for you. Take your pick! Player:



Challenge fan:



Builder,QR enthusiast:

And some more! If this is not enough you can always compare your prowess in leaderboards. And don't forget, stay tuned for the release tomorrow!

Feeling stuck in a level? Try to click the 'i' button to overview the used game mechanics. Learn basics of the game in '?' menu or by playing tutorial levels in Extra Levels tab.
Are you looking for a bigger challenge? Try the timer mode or night mode (or even both) which you easily switch on in settings.


Will it make any difference? Sure, bigger points for leaderboards and bigger challenge (you need to remember your path and won't see it apart from close by to the cars)! Finishing levels with these settings will unlock medals in the menu, so you can easily see which one was finished how.

Included editor makes level creation simple! Want to share your ideas with friends? Create a level, test it and afterwards share using simple QR code (scan with webcam). Easy, right?
Here is the tutorial video to teach you how to do it. When the level is saved and tested (finish it once to evaluate it is ok), share with with simple screenshot. Others then can just scan the screenshot ingame via their webcam and try to beat your challenge!

As the release is getting super close and last creases have been polished I'm happy to announce that we are "gold"! All that has to be done is wait for Steam's "Have to be 2 weeks as Coming soon" policy to pass. I'm really looking forward to what you would think about the game as it is my "baby" :). If you are eager to test it already or have a lot of commuting to do daily maybe you can consider a mobile version that is already out since yesterday.
