Ranked from 7 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
Boxy fits the loop theme by letting players create a repeating MIDI loop that directly controls the game world. Platforms react to the rhythm of the loop, making it the core mechanic that drives both the music and the platforming challenge.

To anyone playing this you can double jump and also combine this with the far jump (shift). The screen alignment is off for me (2560x1440p), which means I don't quite see the full HUD. The colours between the board and the world seem to be switched I think (green controls blue)? Maybe it would be simpler to only let the player control 4 beats instead of 16, unless the later levels require the complexity. But I like the idea and the art style it is going for! The animations and death effects are great.

Bro please add controls like how do I play this. I can’t figure out what to do I am stuck in the first level.

Side note: did you make this in your own engine or something?

Hi! There should be signs in the game telling you how to play.
Move: A and D
Jump: Space
Long Jump: Shift
Open the beat menu while standing on the yellow planes: G
Sometimes you need to double click on things to make them register.
We made this in Unreal Engine 5.6
Hope this helps!

“Open the beat menu while standing on the yellow planes: G”

This one I didn’t know. Let me give this another try
