where is 2017? [download]

Where is 2017? Well it's hiding somewhere in Mateusz Skutnik's latest game. This time Mateusz didn't release the game in the browser but only as a downloadable game.
You can download it for Windows or Mac OS.
Now that there are less browser games, I might start to post free downloadable Windows/MacOS/Linux games from time to time just like I started posting mobile games recently, but of course the focus of this site will stay on browser games. What do you think?

And maybe you should really do that, because yesterday Mashable called it a can't miss app ;) And while you're in that app store please don't forget to leave a rating/review, thank you!

a new bontegame: blocky xmas [mobile]

Hohoho, it's a fine tradition here at bontegames that I make a Christmas themed game every year, well, it's time to ring those Christmas bells because here's my new game 'Blocky XMAS'! (Inspired by the flash game 'a blocky Christmas' with 16 levels that I made a couple of years ago, but different and bigger and better!)
You are the star and you are magnetic. Can you put all the Christmas tree blocks into place in 40 levels of Christmassy puzzle fun?
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:

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 help and adds a skip level button).
Let me know what you think about the game in the comments! Enjoy my new game, spread the word, merry Christmas and happy puzzling!
If you don't own a mobile device, a browser version of the game is coming later this year, cheers!
