Boxboy is a decently fun puzzle game that is unfortunately not interesting enough to warrant its somewhat tedious length. The puzzles themselves are engaging and creatively designed, but the lack of proper music or any visual variety whatsoever really makes it start to feel boring even after a fairly short play session. The reason I'm rating the game without finishing is because despite liking some aspects of it I just couldn't motivate myself to finish it. I will say that despite being tedious to complete it is alright in very (extremely) short play sessions of 5 minutes or so on the go, if you happen to still carry your 3DS around with you. It's definitely not a terrible game by any means, I'd say it's just slightly above the level of mediocre.
Not too bad, but nothing special. Each world/zone brings about a new gimmick which gets used in increasing difficulty for 5 or so levels before entering the next zone and getting another new gimmick to play with. For the most part the game is pretty easy due to the fact it keeps balancing itself around having to use at least 1 level per zone just to teach the player a new mechanic. Though I didn't try the post-game levels which is where I imagine the true challenge lies.
Kind of concerned how they managed to stretch this into 3 sequels.

A very simple, but good puzzle game. Made me have to look up answers a few times. Best played in short bursts, I'd say.
where's the color? unbelievable.
Man there are a lot of ways to play with boxes.
I really like this game because it reminds me of that brief two year period where I was obsessed with collecting Kongregate badges and ended up playing a bunch of 2D puzzle platformers with various geometric lads. You even get some HAL-esque writing out of the deal when the boxpeople start nobly sacrificing themselves to power ancient square technology in order to save their boxplanet.
If Qbby is a cube, and Qbby can generate insentient cubes at will, does that mean those cubes are lifeless clones of Qbby
One of the best puzzle games I've ever played on the 3DS. The BoxBoy! puzzles are quite fun and using the boxes strategically feels rewarding.
very nice time killer
Que joguinho mais simpático e com desafios desafios hein. Muito feliz de ter resolvido dar uma chance.

A simple yet devious little puzzle game where you create and manipulate blocks to get to the end of each level. Don't let the looks deceive you, this game has some very difficult puzzles, all of which are very well thought out. My main issue is the lengths and replayability. Once you beat the game, you don't have any incentive to come back and there aren't many puzzles to begin with. With that said, it is a quirky game that I recommend to any avid puzzle platformer enjoyers.
Very simple puzzle game that knows exactly what it wants to do. The levels are all pretty simple and easy until the very end of the game, the extra levels, and the challenge levels. Good game length. Wasn’t too short but didn’t overstay its welcome. Each additional mechanic felt like a good addition to the game.
fun little game with more levels than one would think, I like the implementation of those walk-coins for hints, had to use it one time lol
despite all that, I'm not sure why this game got an amiibo

The start of something great. This game began the Boxboy series very effectively and has a lot of great gimmicks and puzzles, as well as enticing unlockables.
Fun, inventive little puzzle game. Really enjoyed my time with it but never ended up checking out any of the sequels.
When rectangle boy sacrificed himself I cried
Box boy is a real clever puzzle platformer that’s honestly way more full of content than you’d think. About 20 worlds with 8 levels each, I think this is one of the best 3ds eshop titles out there. Hal laboratory really cooked
NOOOO. I HAVE TO BE SMART TO PLAY THIS GAME!!!! AGGGGGHHHHH!!!
Looking forward to the Box Boy MMORPG.
Es un pequeño plataformas-puzle sobre Qbby, un cuadrado que crea más cuadrados creando plataformas para atravesar los niveles. El juego está desarrollado por HAL Laboratory (Kirby) y la verdad es que se nota, el estilo es impecable y aunque sencillo es liso y limpio, el diseño de niveles es donde más brilla el juego. Cada mundo tiene 7 niveles de unos 3 o 4 minutos cada uno, en el primero se introduce una mecánica nueva y se complica durante el trancurso del mundo. Además no hay pocos mundos, cuando acabé el primer mundo me sorprendió que hubiera más, cuando terminé los 5 mundos el juego me recompensó con otros 5, cada vez habían más y más niveles y para nada algo malo. Cada nivel tiene 1 o 2 coronas que solo se pueden recoger si consigues llegar a ellas usando pocos bloques, lo que añade profundidad e impide el uso del prueba y error, te obliga a pensar en los puzles. Además hay cosméticos, música y 16 retos desbloqueables que puedes comprar con el dinero que ganas cogiendo coronas. Por si fuera poco, cuando te pasas el juego deciden recompensarte con aún más niveles... todos ellos con una jugabilidad fantástica. Y si te atascas en algún puzle a las malas puedes pagar una o dos monedas de juego por la solución.
Lo más impresionante de todo es que este juego cuesta 5 euros. Se nota en historia, estilo y música siendo todo ello simple pero aún estilizado, aún así tiene contenido para días y días y con un diseño de niveles tan bueno lo demás se pasa por alto.

I saw the love this game was gettin' the other day, and because it's on sale for 2.50 atm, (and I decided on $40 Nintendo cash instead of Overwatch), I thought I'd pick it up. It's not the most compelling or best action-puzzle game ever, but it's a fun way to spend an afternoon. It took me like 3-ish hours to get through it and get everything in the first 17 worlds, and now I'm working in the 5 you unlock in the post-game.
My only real complaint is how the last few costumes you unlock are the coolest, but they also give you bonus abilities (faster speed, higher jump, more blocks). Thus you have to choose between lookin' fly, and playing the game like it was designed :/
Verdict: It's a really well designed little action-puzzle game that I'd recommend to anyone looking to have a down-time game on their 3DS :)

This game is a really fun time waster and has really creative puzzles, I recommend this to people who are bored to try and play some of the Boxboy! games or the series, the only problem with it is that some puzzles were very out of the box or the game does not teach you about this and its not perfect, its just good.
Se você for sensível como eu, vai lacrimejar em um jogo de cubo.
Shockingly extensive. And with a final results screen at the end that reveals a surprisingly high skill ceiling.
I just don't like puzzle platformers :/
neat puzzle game i guess?
Didn’t expect to cry
fun little puzzle platformer with a neat central mechanic. interesting how much freedom is allowed for many of the puzzles, even late into the game. biggest gripe is just that a lot of the collectibles kinda felt like afterthoughts
box booooooooy. good enough, but i wish they added a bit more meat to it. feels pretty comparable to a super high-quality flash game. given that the eshop is closed, i don't have to worry about telling you to buy it or not, because even if you pirate it and don't like it, you didn't waste any money.
