LEONA’s Tricky Adventures...

...is a lovely retro exploration puzzler for Dreamcast and Amiga with great support by legendary artists:

- Game story and drawing of all cases/poster by Comic-Authors M.Musal & B.Samuel

- Soundtrack by Composer Chris Huelsbeck

Leona’s Tricky Adventures is inspired by a clever puzzle game mechanic which was briefly explored in the very early 90s but sadly faded from prominence shortly after. The basic task is to match two increasingly complex patterns using increasingly complex mechanics. While it can’t be directly compared to any contemporary game the mental skills required by the puzzles put them somewhere in between "Picross" and "Bejeweled" – and in our humble opinion they can easily stand up against those games.

Leona's Tricky Adventures is going to contain hundreds of puzzles which provide many hours of fun gameplay - but unlike most puzzle games: No, it does not stop there!

More:

We thought deeply about the frustrations that can arise in a puzzle game and took great care to make sure the game does not grind to a halt when a puzzle cannot be solved. All puzzles are embedded in a big and complex overworld full of exploration and humorous citizens constructed entirely using beautifully hand-drawn pixel graphics. Exploration and puzzle-solving is intertwined in clever and varied ways - finding out is part of the created new fun. The complexity of the overworld lies comfortably somewhere in between the overworld of "Super Mario World" and that of "A Link to the Past".

And more:

We asked Comicmakers M.Musal/B.Samuel not only to compose a visualization for the cases and a poster – they also provided the story and dialogue for Leona’s world to make the storytelling and humorous aspects of the game just as compelling as the gameplay itself. The story is an integral part of the game and the overworld design directly builds on it to form a coherent product that is more than the sum of its parts.
