The Box is Alive

A very charming and silly game. The music fits really well with the hijinks. The game shines with it's controls. At first I didn't think I was going to get used to it, but I ended up doing some really awesome moves. Excited to see it continue!

Stimulating and Inventive This evening was the first time I impersonated a box since I played MGS a decade ago, and it was a good one. After some time figuring out the controls — it's actually not that easy to be a box — things click, and it makes for some very cool and interesting challenges. Congrats to the devs!

My Thoughts: Just played through Level #1, Level #2, Level #3, and the first part of Level #4, and it's been a ton of fun so far! Level design feels thoughtful and creative, and love how different each map is. The box animations are really fun, and the game has great UI too. There were a few moments where I got stuck and a bit frustrated, but that was probably a skill issue and not a game issue. Lots of fun so far!

The controls have a lot of potential for speedrunning. With the right timing and precision, you can make the box practically fly across the levels, which is incredibly fun. Also, a huge shout-out to the music, really chill and cozy.

Very fun game. Physics are very well done and it can be challenging. (Stupid bridge I will master you. That I promise >.>)

This isn't a rage game like *Getting Over It*. It has frequent checkpoints, so while it's challenging, it never feels overly punishing. What it does share is the same goofy, physics-driven chaos that makes games in the genre so much fun. Mix that with some genuinely unique movement mechanics, and you end up with a pretty fresh take on the 3D platformer. It's also the developer's first game, so I'm excited to see how it evolves leading up to 1.0.

Really fun and seriously challenging. I would recommend a way that keeps the cards previously collected instead of having to recollect them after death. 10/10 would play again.
