An excellent puzzle game with a continuous stream of new mechanics while keeping the old ones, never overwhelming the player yet always keeping their brain thinking and puzzling. Puzzle games are not my favorite, but this game is very fun to think through. A problem is sometimes the game suffers from dilution from mechanics introduced that don't feel like the base game anymore.
This was a nice conclusion to the BoxBoy 3DS trilogy.
It's pretty much a new BoxBoy game, with its own set of gimmicks, that are actually pretty fun to play with, but part of me wishes some of them were brought back for the last story-related world.
The difficulty curve here is probably the best of the series, although just by a bit, and the story ends pretty conclusively unlike last time.
It's a good time.

It was on sale for the new year, so I finally picked up the final part of the BOXBOY trilogy. I loved the last two, so I thought I'd enjoy this one. I was right! This is an excellent close to the series, although I'd be lying if I said I didn't hope it continued in some form (perhaps a spiritual sequel).
I found the 2nd game BOXBOXBOY! a bit underwhelming in retrospect, as the just two boxes thing didn't really spice up the main game (granted the bonus levels were hard as usual). Bye-Bye BOXBOY! has levels with special powers for your blocks (rockets, bombs, warps, and snake), which really spice things up, in addition to little escort missions as well for some worlds. The puzzles are also well designed with a good difficulty curve as normal for the series. The bonus stages are once again properly tough as well, with some really creative uses of the new powers it introduced earlier (each new power and escort level is only in that particular world. They don't carry from world to world).
Verdict: Highly Recommended. If you're just gonna play one BOXBOY! game, let it be this one. It's by far the best paced, designed, and polished of the three, and it's a steal at the current price of 3.50. You'd be hard pressed to find a better deal for a better puzzle game on 3DS ^w^
