Ranked from 27 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?
In BoxJumper, you have forced by the LockBox Institute to solve puzzles using an ability called "BoxJumping" which allows you to dimension-hop in and out of GameBoy-inspired consoles (the “boxes”).
It's a short game, but I hope you enjoy it!

THIS IS SOOO GOOD AND FUN MY MIND GOT BENDED BUT I LIKED EVERY BIT OF THIS GAME !!!

Developer

Thanks! Happy you liked it.

Really fun idea and also executed really well. I really enjoyed having to think about where to bring the boxes after each jump and I'll be surprised if this doesn't get at least top 50.

Great job!

Thanks for all the nice feedback! I’m happy you liked it.

This is really fun! I like the layering mechanic thing, and I had fun figuring out the puzzles!

Developer

Thanks! I’m happy you enjoyed it.

Very cool concept!!! I really enjoyed how it kinda parallels how we attempt to explore 4D though the concept of stepping up or down the 4th dimension through 3d layers, just on the dimension below! Honestly only note I have is I which there was a few more mechanics than just buttons and boxes, but considering the game in its current scope, it’s peak!!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear you liked it in spite of the relatively basic mechanics and few levels. This has a lot of potential, so if I can figure out how to load map space from other Pico 8 cartridges, (which is probably something someone’s figured out), I could potentially add a bunch more mechanics.

This is crazy good and polished! I love the concept and the puzzles are great!

Thanks, glad you liked it!

This is such a good puzzle game. The layer mechanic was very cool, and the puzzles were a good challenge level (especially for a jam) where I had to think, but didn't get stuck. Great job :D

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Good to hear the levels weren't too easy or insanely difficult.

Thanks! I'm happy you enjoyed it.

Nice! I like seeing some pico8 representation. The game is pretty solid, I like the idea of going inside multiple levels of ‘boxes’ to solve puzzles. Well done!

Developer

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it

This is a really cute little puzzle game! It's got a great foundation, and the music is fabulous!

Developer

Thanks! Good to hear you enjoyed despite the game being so short.

Submitted

Nice small puzzle game, I enjoyed the simple art and the music was good too!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for the feedback! I think this game probably has the best music of the games that I’ve made, which isn’t saying a lot, (most of my games have pretty bad music), but I’m glad you liked it!

Submitted

Really good small puzzle game, the art is very cute, nothing crazy but understandable since it's pico 8, the puzzles are very simple and there's not a lot of them which makes it a bit underwhelming, but it's a solid experience with a great main mechanic that is well executed all things considered, keep it up!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I agree, it is pretty short and I probably should’ve just come up with a better system to condense the map a bit more, but it’s an okay length for a jam game. I’m happy you liked it otherwise though!

Very fun little puzzle game! the last level made me think about how i was positioning myself and the boxes.

Submitted

I LOVE the design of this one!

Music is cool too!

Also only love for pic8 <3

Developer

Thanks! I think I’m pretty satisfied with the music this jam as well, as it’s usually my weakest skill. I’m glad you enjoyed!

Submitted

I love simple 2 color graphics and its such a fun and cool game

Noice lil quick sokoban esque. The worst part is that its short

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Pico 8’s maximum map size really limits the amount of levels I can have with the current setup, so if I continue this project post-jam, I’ll try to condense it a bit more to fit in a couple more levels. 

Submitted

Extremely fun little puzzle game, I could see myself losing hours and hours to this with more levels! You should really consider making this a full project, I really think people would buy it!

Developer

Thanks for all the nice feedback, I’m glad you enjoyed!
