Smart Way Lite, the demo version of the first game from Novi Forum has seen the light of day. Smart Way Lite is a highly addictive board turn-based puzzle game, guaranteed to attract brainteaser enthusiasts.

The challenge is straightforward and simple. The goal of the game is to outmaneuver and outsmart the super-clever character that is trying to escape the game board by placing obstacles around it. As the game progresses, this simple task gets harder due to the growing difficulty of new levels that are characterized by the increased presence of 'bonuses' - fields that enable the escaping character to evade the obstacles easier and faster.

Smart Way Lite (demo version) has 2 different characters: a rabbit and a hedgehog. Apart from the characters, there is 1 different playing environment available for players to enjoy: the meadow. The pioneer version offers 15 mind-boggling levels.

Full version of Smart Way offers:
* 3 different themes (Meadow, Ocean, Desert)
* 6 different characters
* 60 interesting levels (with more incoming)
* Different board sizes
* 5 bonus fields - multi move, teleport, jump, obstacle destruction, destruction within radius
* 3 different theme songs
* Pinch gestures
* Custom zoom levels
* Achievements and leaderboards via Game Center

Bojan Plese, the project manager briefly commented: "We are exhilarated to see the game finally hitting the App Store shelves. A lot of energy and effort was poured into this and we are very proud of the final product. Special attention was given to graphics, sound effects and the intelligence of the characters. Even the smallest of details such as characters' idle animations, ground detail levels and environment border placement, were retuned and reworked from scratch several times. We're very eager to see the players' reactions."
