BOND

BOND is that kind of adorable little puzzle game that you really enjoy playing. It offers simple and interesting mechanics and it truly challenges you more and more with each level you come across.

In BOND, the goal is to guide your two characters to the doors that offer passage to the next stage of their journey but only after they collect a key or two. It sounds simple enough but the keys are often found in places which would normally be impossible to reach if it wasn’t for the clever core mechanic of the game.

You get to control both of the characters simultaneously and individually, swapping between them anytime you need to. The idea is that when they are separated, they can move freely any which way you point them but while they are bound, one will always mimic the movements of the other. It might not make sense now but it will as soon as you start the game and see that most of the time one of the little ones floats around in midair.

Pixel art is something you can use to describe BOND. Its simple and colorful graphics, along with the minimalistic world design make it appealing to puzzle solvers of all ages.

You control the characters using the arrow keys and bound or unbound them using the Space key. Solving the puzzles, well that’s a different story. There will be plenty of times when everything seems confusing or downright impossible but that’s the beauty of a good puzzle game. If doesn’t push your thinking you can’t really enjoy the success of completing another level.

Apart from the obvious and constant life lesson that sticking together helps you and others get passed any challenge, the game also provides plenty of enjoyable puzzles to solve. It’s simple, cute and definitely worth your time.
