Es un pequeño plataformas-puzle sobre Qbby, un cuadrado que crea más cuadrados creando plataformas para atravesar los niveles. El juego está desarrollado por HAL Laboratory (Kirby) y la verdad es que se nota, el estilo es impecable y aunque sencillo es liso y limpio, el diseño de niveles es donde más brilla el juego. Cada mundo tiene 7 niveles de unos 3 o 4 minutos cada uno, en el primero se introduce una mecánica nueva y se complica durante el trancurso del mundo. Además no hay pocos mundos, cuando acabé el primer mundo me sorprendió que hubiera más, cuando terminé los 5 mundos el juego me recompensó con otros 5, cada vez habían más y más niveles y para nada algo malo. Cada nivel tiene 1 o 2 coronas que solo se pueden recoger si consigues llegar a ellas usando pocos bloques, lo que añade profundidad e impide el uso del prueba y error, te obliga a pensar en los puzles. Además hay cosméticos, música y 16 retos desbloqueables que puedes comprar con el dinero que ganas cogiendo coronas. Por si fuera poco, cuando te pasas el juego deciden recompensarte con aún más niveles... todos ellos con una jugabilidad fantástica. Y si te atascas en algún puzle a las malas puedes pagar una o dos monedas de juego por la solución.
Lo más impresionante de todo es que este juego cuesta 5 euros. Se nota en historia, estilo y música siendo todo ello simple pero aún estilizado, aún así tiene contenido para días y días y con un diseño de niveles tan bueno lo demás se pasa por alto.

Man there are a lot of ways to play with boxes.

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.

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.

En 2019 a pocos meses de empezar a trabajar me fijé en BoxBoy+BoxGirl y en un ataque repentino de consumismo, lo compré. Le di unas pocas horas pero con el cansancio del trabajo y demás, apenas sacaba tiempo para jugar y lo dejé abandonado. Hace unos días decidí darle una oportunidad al que originó la franquicia y la verdad, un juego de puzles muy satisfactorio y con una curva de aprendizaje bien estructurada. Ha hecho que me coma la cabeza varias veces en las etapas finales pero tremenda satisfacción llegar al final del juego.

Por cierto, no he jugado los niveles secretos. Volvería a jugarlo ni que fuera en ratos muertos.


This is a nice neat little game.
I think the difficulty can be a bit weird at times, sometimes being pretty easy, other times being pretty brain-scratching, but overall, this was a good game, and a nice experiment from HAL Laboratory.

Creative puzzles and a simple and intuitive game.

Pretty cute and fun puzzle game. I found the pacing a little slow- there are a lot of simple introductory puzzles before you start getting onto the more interesting mechanics and tricky solutions.

Ran out of time before hitting the end, so I might revisit this when I get the chance.

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

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.

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

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

Solid puzzle platformer with a lot of heart.

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

Se você for sensível como eu, vai lacrimejar em um jogo de cubo.

fun little game with more levels than one would think, I like the implementation of those walk-coins for hints, had to use it one time lol

despite all that, I'm not sure why this game got an amiibo

easy-going with intuitive mechanics and diverse hazards. i found it nice to wind down to

Cleverly-designed and charming, puzzle games inevitably frustrate me but this one was a fun time throughout, with reasonable challenges that kept you on your toes.

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

Kind of mixed on how I feel about this one- it is very charming and simple, but I also feel like I struggled with how to get the boxes to get set up right even when I gave up and used play coins to splurge on the solutions. I’m debating on whether I want to get the rest or not, but I know I sure as heck am not getting all those crowns.

I really do like the minimalist style, though. There’s a really neat point at the end of the uhhh “story mode” that kind of surprised me in terms of presentation, and the costumes are very cute. Yeah… I probably should get the rest before the eShop dies.

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.

Picked back up the game after years of first downloading it. Don't remember much but the game got pretty challenging toward the end but it was rewarding when you figured out how to progress.

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

Çok tatlı lan bu oyun. Bİraz basicv ama oynaması eğlenceli.

delightful simplistic puzzle game with a fair amount of challenge


It's as barebones as they come, but it proves that the simpler the better when it comes to puzzle games. Although having said that, a few more themes and music tracks would've gone a long way.

Really good but level transitions are way too long for how long the levels are.

It's pretty simple and charming, and that mostly works in the game's favor. The puzzles can occasionally be pretty tricky. Each world has a different gimmick that is utilized pretty well in a variety of ways. The mechanics never really interact, and the puzzles feel fun but nothing too crazy. It's good, but a bit lacking.
