Boxbrawl Delivery is a spiritual successor to the Mario Bros. arcade game, and improves on its inspiration in almost every way. The original Mario Bros. is an interesting game conceptually, I like the single screen arenas and the strategy of trying to take out all the enemies efficiently, however your grounded movement is a bit too slippery and you have no midair control at all, which makes moving around a bit laborious. You also spend most of your time waiting for enemies to pass above you so you can stun them and knock them out, which can be a bit tedious.
Boxbrawl Delivery has much less slippery controls and a good level of midair control, so moving around is much more fun. You also attack enemies directly by throwing boxes, which carries inherent risk as you are more directly vulnerable to being hit if you mess up, and because missing your throw will damage the box and decrease your potential score gain. The game also varies between several different arena layouts and has several different enemy types, which is appreciated and unexpected considering that this is a jam game. Through the lens of a game that was made in 48 hours I think it's an incredible achievement and very polished.
Looking at Cruise Elroy's Annalynn, it's clear that he has a great appreciation for arcade games of this era and knows how to breathe new life into them and I am excited to see what he makes next.
