A 2D logic puzzle platform game for Nintendo 3DS. In Boxboy!, you play as a nice, square protagonist called Qbby, who can create exact copies of himself. There are many logic puzzles to complete — in every level, you have to arrange special blocks in a given order to form a certain configuration to progress. There are 17 levels and they vary in terms of challenges. Later levels feature such dangers as lasers or deadly spikes.
Boxboy is a two-dimensional puzzle game based on platform solutions. The player plays a nice square and ends up on the next boards, on which he has to arrange special blocks in the appropriate configuration and order in order to be able to go further. Our unique ability to duplicate our own shapes means that we always carry all the "tools" necessary to pass each level. The game was exclusively released on Nintendo 3DS, and HAL Laboratory studio is responsible for its production.
The main character is a square guy named Qbby, who is forced to save his fiancée, friend and the rest of the decaying world. The road to victory, however, leads through places full of pitfalls and puzzles, the unraveling of which is not always one of the simplest. The protagonist has fortunately possessed an extraordinary ability to replicate his own shape, thanks to which he can reach locations inaccessible to others. Each of the seventeen available boards offers different challenges, which increase proportionally with the length of the game. In later stages we come across such deadly elements as lasers or even spikes, which are constantly waiting for the hero's life.
The biggest challenge in Boxboy, however, seems to be the limit of squares that we are able to generate on a single board. Considering that each map is dotted with special finds and that we come to many solutions and constructions by trial and error method, it turns out that the blocks can end relatively quickly.
Graphics offer exceptionally simple graphics for production with Nintendo 3DS - maintained in black-and-white colors, operates in square and triangular forms. We will not find any additional effects in it, and in terms of character animation and the world, the creators have focused on total minimalism.
