Development
editBoovie is a remake of the game of the same name, which the authors programmed in 1994 for the ZX Spectrum.[1] It's a game inspired by Flappy (1983). After the game, the developers had long tried to create a second part in spring 1999.[2] None of the authors however didn't last long and the project died.[3][4] The game has been translated into English.[5]
Reception
editThe game is Bonusweb's favourite from Future Games, who noted similarities between Boovie and another game from the studio named Bloodie.[6]
