Boxboy is a decently fun puzzle game that is unfortunately not interesting enough to warrant its somewhat tedious length. The puzzles themselves are engaging and creatively designed, but the lack of proper music or any visual variety whatsoever really makes it start to feel boring even after a fairly short play session. The reason I'm rating the game without finishing is because despite liking some aspects of it I just couldn't motivate myself to finish it. I will say that despite being tedious to complete it is alright in very (extremely) short play sessions of 5 minutes or so on the go, if you happen to still carry your 3DS around with you. It's definitely not a terrible game by any means, I'd say it's just slightly above the level of mediocre.

box booooooooy. good enough, but i wish they added a bit more meat to it. feels pretty comparable to a super high-quality flash game. given that the eshop is closed, i don't have to worry about telling you to buy it or not, because even if you pirate it and don't like it, you didn't waste any money.

where's the color? unbelievable.

Boxboy! is a simple, puzzly delight that has plenty to offer players. Whether it be its 17+ Worlds (each filled with their own wacky gimmicks) or challenging Time Attack/Score Attack modes, I think anyone interested can get quite a bit of mileage out of it.
