Dabado Puzzles is not ordinary game – it’s a challenging puzzler, which brings relaxation and joy. Dive in it’s atmosphere and experience something new.
Your main goal is to stack blocks, reveal game secrets and progress on the World map.The gameplay is quite relaxing and in some ways meditative if you calm down and just enjoy the game. And for complete immersion in the atmosphere you need to have general idea about game peculiarities and rules.
The World Map is the place where you progress towards your main goal, passing through many different logical levels. There are various secret hidden on the map, so carefully go around everything with the cursor. Watch carefully what is happening on the map, sometimes appear various useful items and quests.
In Dabado Puzzles I also implemented mechanics, that develop some very valuable human qualities like patience, logical thinking, taking nonstandard solutions, using the intuition and many others. The game is deep and can be played years long, always showing something new. It also wears the spirit of the old school games, the most of which was real challenge and many players remember what mean the words: “The harder is the fight, the sweeter is the Victory”. Some of the players find Dabado Puzzles hard and call it “the Dark Souls of the puzzle genre”, but the situation is more like “The Owls Are Not What They Seem”, because it goes beyond the standard mechanics that serve us in the games today. The game is surprisingly easy to progress if you learn to gather the main resource – Light and build the optimal blocks construction in levels.
Some tips to all who struggle for more Light 
Just go in to MLVL2 and create the construction by getting all Pluses, just like this:
Variant 1
Variant 1 Final score – 53 and you got 5Light
Each replay can give easily 4-6 Light for about minute or two. It’s really easy, because have only 3 type BLs and the Random generator haven’t so much weight in messing our strategy. I had luck to find the Secret Box and to get one Button too
Variant 2. One more try.
Variant 2 Final score – 59. This time almost 60 score points
And here the brand new feature from the Dabado Puzzles Update 1.1 – Symmetry. This feature gives additional score when the construction is build in symmetrical/perfectly mirrored way. Each time you create symmetry – you get more scores. That way you will collect serious sore result and respectively Light amount when finish the level successfully.
Variant 3
Variant 3 Final score – 66 and you got 6Light. Much closer to my own record – 80 score points.
Some other tips
- Main levels are designed to be played multiple times. Getting Light is easy when make Combos (when take more than one item with one BL. The best way is to get them with green blocks – leafes) and Symmetry (when create symmetrical/perfectly mirrored construction).
This image shows how 5 items can be easily taken with BL№9 (Leaf). The Combo is 5x and gives an additional 13 points.
- Visit Maria’s Store first, when it appear on the World map. There you can buy some useful things. The “Dice” item is very useful (just read the item description, holding the cursor upon it), but it needs much more Buttons (Buttons are game currency and are rare). In the beginning you have 9 Buttons and finding one more, will grant you two items 100Light in case you need more Light to reach desired Levels or places. In version 1.2 of the game, 3 more new items appear in the store, two of which you can see on the image. The first is called “Lily’s Star” and allows the player to unlock any Additional Level without passing it. The second item is called “Chose Block 3x” – this is an upgrade of the “Chose Block” item and allows to the player to choose up to 6 times the next block in the levels. And the third item appears after solving the quest with the ancient recipe that Maria finds, what it is – find out for yourself
Maria’s Store. It has a lot of interesting information about the island Dabado and its inhabitants, as well as various surprises for mystery seekers
- The blocks are 3 types: Heavy or Base (with the eye on it), Middle (all except leafes and base) and 2 Light BLs (green leafes, they appear when 50% from all BLs in the stack are gone and are perfect for making big Combos – 4,5 or even 6 items can be taken at once with them). The BLs also can be broken if not placed properly. The construction also can be broken and this is part from the gameplay. Some times you need to broke some branch to start building it in other direction. Braking parts from the construction also reveal new bonuses, which is very rare, but possible.
- Don’t forget to take Pluses in the LVLs – they are 3 types and give different BLs in different order, count and type.
Pluses. They give additional BLs, that appear in the BL field. There are 3 types and each of them has its own mechanics. It’s good to trace on what and how they do, it’s a key for finishing some levels.
- Buttons appear in MLVLs with chance 15%. You can find Buttons also in miniature hidden places over the World map, Maria’s store, Bonus LVLs (this levels are very well hidden), Unique LVLs and other places.
This is one of the Bonus Levels in the game. Here you can get lot of buttons and additional scores.
Every aspect from this game is designed and tested very carefully since 2013. If the player don’t learn the rules – it can be quite hard. It’s like our life, if we don’t learn from our lessons – we suffer, if we learn – we enjoy the LIFE! There are lot of mechanics, that need to be found, and then the game become joyful adventure.
You can download the demo or purchase the game in Steam here!
