It's a little difficult to recommend a game like this with the current state of affairs regarding the now defunct Nintendo E-shop, but if you're keen to use [legal methods of acquisition] Boxboy! is a cute little time waster. I got the game before the closure of the 3DS E-shop and have been playing it on-and-off from time to time, typically on my bed or during a commute. I wouldn't entirely recommend binging through it, as it's certainly made with bite-sized sessions in mind, but I should say that I kind of binged through pretty large chunks of the game.
The game is an aesthetically pleasing albeit visually minimalist puzzler with minimal platforming. Being mostly decidedly paced in a means to not need a great dexterity, with the exception of the final level set and the post-game bonus levels. The game doesn't use the dual screens in any other means besides spacing out the content, which does further it's more minimalist visuals but doesn't particularly contribute to gameplay, with no usage of the touchscreen. If you were to emulate the game via [legal means] I'd say the second screen needn't be given too much room on its own.
Boxboy! is a recommendation for anyone looking for an on the go brain teaser that's easy on the eyes, less of a recommendation if you're just going to play it on your home system, but I mean getting it now would really only be through emulation so there isn't much harm with the lack of cost. If you have a 3DS with this sitting on it and haven't played it, it's pretty fun, give it a shot.

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.

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 :)

If Qbby is a cube, and Qbby can generate insentient cubes at will, does that mean those cubes are lifeless clones of Qbby
A neat little puzzle game with an interesting concept. Only real issues with it is that the 3 bonus worlds are pretty frustrating at points and that the side content feels half assed.
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
Looking forward to the Box Boy MMORPG.
box, make box, jump box, boy
Didn’t expect to cry
neat puzzle game i guess?
Exactly what I wanted from a puzzle game. 1-2 minute levels are the perfect length. I also like how you can use the play coins to find solutions, although I do sometimes abuse it.
I just don't like puzzle platformers :/

Que joguinho mais simpático e com desafios desafios hein. Muito feliz de ter resolvido dar uma chance.
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.
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.
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.
When rectangle boy sacrificed himself I cried
Fun, inventive little puzzle game. Really enjoyed my time with it but never ended up checking out any of the sequels.
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
Vivimos en un planeta cuadrado
Box makes other boxes and jumpes around.
very nice time killer
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.
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.
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.
NOOOO. I HAVE TO BE SMART TO PLAY THIS GAME!!!! AGGGGGHHHHH!!!
Shockingly extensive. And with a final results screen at the end that reveals a surprisingly high skill ceiling.
This is a pretty fun game. It doesn't take that long to beat. It has some awesome puzzles that are very well designed. I also really like the design of the characters in the game.
