Box Boy! is a platform game in which players control a box-shaped character named Qbby as he makes his way through each level. The source of the game's mechanics come from Qbby's ability to spawn boxes out of his body, the number of which varies between each level. These boxes can spread out in whatever direction is possible to make various shapes and can either be carried or thrown and pushed around. The boxes have various uses, such as allowing players to reach high ledges or cross large gaps, holding down switches, or blocking deadly lasers. Additionally, by hooking these boxes onto a ledge while Qbby is still attached, he can pull himself up. Each level features one or more crowns, which can be collected with advanced play but will become uncollectable if the player uses too many boxes during a level. These crowns unlock additional worlds as the game progresses. Medals obtained from clearing each level can be spent on extras, such as costumes, technique manuals, and bonus levels. Read less

Box Boy saves the day

I really enjoyed BoxBoy!

I think it's simple design is really appealing. The graphics, mechanics, controls and puzzle are simplistics which provides for a great experience. When I say that the puzzles are simple I don't mean that they are not challenging, but that they are straight forward to tackle, but you still might have to think about an optimal …

I really enjoyed BoxBoy!

I think it's simple design is really appealing. The graphics, mechanics, controls and puzzle are simplistics which provides for a great experience. When I say that the puzzles are simple I don't mean that they are not challenging, but that they are straight forward to tackle, but you still might have to think about an optimal solution if you want a good result.

Trying to 100% this game can increase the level of difficulty and challenge, which I would recommend since it is totally doable and it is rewarding unlocking all the cute and fun customs for Qbby.

This game is great to enjoy if you have small periods of time to play or you could try to finish it in a single run, since it is a short game, even though it has lots of puzzles.

Uno splendido puzzle game, carico di idee e di originalità, divertente e impegnativo dall'inizio alla fine, segreti compresi. E sticazzi del 3D.
