Puzles de chill con cubitos

The only game about a square-shaped boy I can tolerate.

Very simple but very solid all around. I felt like it was everything I wanted it to be and nothing more


The start of something great. This game began the Boxboy series very effectively and has a lot of great gimmicks and puzzles, as well as enticing unlockables.

I really like this game because it reminds me of that brief two year period where I was obsessed with collecting Kongregate badges and ended up playing a bunch of 2D puzzle platformers with various geometric lads. You even get some HAL-esque writing out of the deal when the boxpeople start nobly sacrificing themselves to power ancient square technology in order to save their boxplanet.

É bom ver jogos com escopo de indie sendo produzidos pelas empresas grandes com a Nintendo. Boxboy tem a filosofia Nintendo de bolar uma mecânica e explorá-la à exaustão.

E exaustão talvez seja o único ponto negativo que me impediu de ter a melhor experiência com o jogo, apesar de ter sido algo fantástico.

Tirando o fato de que ele é muito longo, é um jogo muito bem feito e carismático. É bem gostoso de jogar, ele sempre apresenta mecânicas novas. É a melhor pedida pra deixar instalado no 3DS e ir jogando entre outras coisas aos pouquinhos.

Addictive puzzler. I didn't finish the bonus levels, but I still got my money's worth.

Really fun and relaxing puzzle game that has the right balance of charm and difficulty. I would die for Qbby.

many of the puzzles were either trivially easy or obnoxiously tough to figure out with little in between, with that being said however i really enjoyed this game.

What a charming and inventive little puzzle game. Stays fresh right up to the end. Love it.

extremely satisfying and charming lil puzzle game, so cute, zero dialogue but it happens to have the same plot as metroid prime but with more character death

Cute little puzzle game from HAL

Cleverly designed puzzler that gets a lot of mileage from a simple but effective concept. Music is a bit lacking in quantity and quality.

I love it. Its very good. Super clever level design had me thinking about the correct solutions for a while. Very good game. Plan to play the others one day.

Box makes other boxes and jumpes around.

fun little puzzle platformer with a neat central mechanic. interesting how much freedom is allowed for many of the puzzles, even late into the game. biggest gripe is just that a lot of the collectibles kinda felt like afterthoughts

Cute minimalistic style hides some tough puzzles that rely on a very unique set of mechanics to solve. Very fun, a must-try!

Looking forward to the Box Boy MMORPG.

Creative puzzles and a simple and intuitive game.

please let HAL make more original IP's

Boxboy!, a 2015 puzzle game released exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS eShop, is a challenge to say the least. The simple gameplay - expanding the titular Box Boy (named Qbby) into a set number of individual boxes to make stairs and walkways to traverse hazards - seems easy enough at first, but becomes increasingly complex as more and more gameplay elements are introduced. The simple beginning levels consisting of using three boxes to fill a gap full of spikes, walking over the gap, grabbing the collectible crown for that level, and sauntering to the exit; eventually gives way to complex puzzles full of sticky tiles, instant-death lazer beams, moving platforms, and switches that raise and lower gates and move otherwise immovable blocks. With over 150 individual levels scattered throughout 22 different worlds, HAL Labortory will work your brain and your patience in this first entry in the Boxboy Series.


Very solid platforming/puzzle experience. Neat concept that doesn't overstay its welcome - too simple in appearance/design at times though

BOXBOY is a pretty charming puzzle platformer where you play as Qbby, a square-shaped character that has the ability to spawn boxes from its body. These boxes can be spawned in several directions, allowing you to create all kinds of shapes. Puzzles start out pretty simple but become much more complex as you progress.

Overall, I loved this game. It's simply amazing how developers HAL can turn the simplest shapes into really charming characters. Recommended.

NOOOO. I HAVE TO BE SMART TO PLAY THIS GAME!!!! AGGGGGHHHHH!!!

Overall Score: ✅82%

So I thought before the Nintendo 3DS eShop stops adding funs in the 28th; I would get some games off of it for one last time. I decided to get the original trilogy BOXBOY games and so far I think I've picked a really good choice.

the original BOXBOY is a simple but really charming and fun 2D platformer with really well thought out puzzles that star off simple at first; but get harder the more you progress, if Nintendo ever decides to remaster the first three games on the switch, I highly recommend it.
