why do they fucking die at the end

One of my favourite puzzle games ever. I haven't played any of the other games so everything here was completely new to me.

My only gripe is the lack of background/music variety.

This one was cute, but it didn't hook me as well as it apparently did for reviewers. I enjoyed the puzzle mechanics, but it was pretty straightforward and it didn't feel like the box gimmick was anything particularly special. It's well constructed and straightforward, nothing more than that.

This is the most minimalistic a game can get, but that's a style that usually fit puzzle games like this, and BOXBOY is no exception. It's fun how every world, no matter how late into the game, introduces a new mechanic to keep the game original until the very end, though a few extra harder worlds that made use of every mechanic would've been nice to see. I beat the game in 1-player mode, though I also beat around half of the 2-player campaign and it's also a good game to play locally with a friend.

it was fun in short bursts but they locked the best ending behind 4 playthroughs

A nice cute little puzzle game about boxes. Definitely fun if you plan it out and don't binge it all.

A great puzzle game with an overwhelming amount of levels. It starts off ridiculously easy and gradually ramps up, some of the later levels being very challenging, especially if you're going for the minimum boxes objective and grabbing the collectible crowns.

As a fan of the series, this starts off feeling like more of the same, but there's lots of creative ideas, and the addition of Long Boi keeps things interesting. With three separate modes, each with their own unique levels, there's enough to keep you occupied here for a while. Well worth the money.

Co-op is absolutely outstanding and worth the entry price. Not many co-op puzzle games out there. Having 3 SINGLE-PLAYER CAMPAIGNS on top of that is insane. So much value here, a pure puzzle game that is as creative as much as it is lovely and well-crafted.

Played through the co-op campaign with my wife. It was quite fun.

Got past the halfway point soon after launch, well made puzzles, no desire to go back and finish.

A good puzzle game & one I can understand a lot easier than Baba is You.

Perfectly emulates the sluggish pacing of most big Nintendo games while barely using any words.

Qbby? I thought you said bye bye!

Good games at me
Woah!

Puzzle bem divertido e simples, mesmo no modo single player. Talvez no modo coop seja uma game mais interessante.

I don't get why this is rated so low. It's at least on par with if not better than Bye Bye for me. Tons of new ideas and abilities. Sure, it doesn't have any super hard bonus stages but I'd take A Tall Tale and the Balloon Challenges over them any day.

Demo impression:
Elegant visuals and I'm sure the late game got some real brain teasers, but a pure puzzle experience just doesn't tickle me anymore. Music was also a bit grating.

P.S. Why do boxes need to have genders? And children?

I'm not super big on puzzle games that go for this kind of style however this one was surprisingly fun to me. I enjoy games that don't feel the need to be super long and know just when the right time to come to an end is. My main issue was that the entire game is VERY easy. I never needed any hints on the puzzles. I know difficulty is subjective but I usually have hard times with games like this so saying that I didn't need help is really saying something. If you're in the mood for a quaint little puzzle game then you can't really go wrong with this.

three whole campaigns with different gimmicks along with some rather interesting endings, it's boxboy at its most

the adorable cube men made my head hurt


BoxBoy! (2015): Sencillote juego de puzzles, sin apenas profundidad (no me atasqué más de 3 veces), y un pelín cortito. Creo que la premisa es original y podría dar mucho juego, pero es potencial desaprovechado. (5,40)

Great Simple Puzzle Game, gets really difficult at the end but not to the point that it's pull your hair out difficult
Highly reccomend

imo not worth playing on my own; gotta find somebody to play it with
at times it feels like the minimalist artstyle makes it less approachable
