Charming Puzzle Platformer with Surprising Depth
BOXBOY! on the Nintendo 3DS is a charming and simple puzzle platformer that combines simplicity with surprising depth. You control Qbby, a simple square character capable of creating blocks. With these, you can overcome various obstacles and solve puzzles. Despite the black-and-white style and the straightforward presentation, the game manages to create a unique atmosphere. This is supported by clever level designs that continually introduce new mechanics, keeping the game fresh and engaging.
The puzzles in BOXBOY! are accessible yet challenging enough to remain interesting. The smooth controls make solving these puzzles all the more enjoyable. What I particularly appreciated was how the game continually surprised me with new elements and challenges. It’s impressive how a game with such a minimalist approach can still offer so much variety and depth.
BOXBOY! proves that a strong concept and tight design are more important than visual flair. For me, it provides a delightful experience that is both relaxing and addictive. It’s a game you want to pick up time and again, whether you’re looking to play a few levels quickly or spend longer puzzling things out. It’s truly a recommendation for anyone who loves puzzle games!
