Really nice game, I enjoyed the platforming, the controls were really good and I never felt like I lost a challenge because of the controls. Solid game, would love an expanded version!!
Nice platformer and movement was fun
Props to the 3D Modeler that made Boxy. It’s really cute :3. The levels were quite simple.
I LOVE BOXYYY!!!!
huge fan of creatures and mascots, so this guy really peaked my interest. the platforming is super smooth yet the aesthetic is so uncomfy and liminal, that contrast is really fun imo. it feels like an old roblox obby from 2012 that has 3 players and some of the best mechanics you've ever seen. i really like this
I like this one, the movement is slippery enough to feel good whilst also not throwing boxy off of ledges. generally I felt minimal (if not zero) frustration when playing, which is good because not all platformers have to be pin-point precise and I liked the calmer nature of the game.
If you really did only use two days to work on this, I think you did amazing for the time you had! It takes a lot of effort to design levels and make the main character smooth to play as, especially in 3d, and I personally think that you managed to succeed in those regards.
I really believe you should work on this further after the jam for fun. Great Job!
Solid start to a platformer. And the character is super cute
Fun simple puzzle platformer
Cute little puzzle platformer! I love the little box man!
Game is cool or whatever. BUT THE GUY IN THE BOX IS SO SILLY :)
The little box guy is cute and handles well. The fixed camera was a bit frustrating and the music was too short and noticeably loops so it got a little grating for me. It was a fun game!
This was a really fun game! I was sad when it ended, I could've played a LOT more of this, great job!
Played this in call with you, if you remember!
Box
i like the little guy
But I feel like sometimes the camera is a bit too close and restrictive, but besides that this was fun.
Very nice polish and pretty good puzzle type needs for getting to the flag. My submission is a similar, but not as polished, First Person Puzzler. Feel free to give it a try and rating.

I felt very mixed about this game. There's so many ups and downs for each category (except the video pitch which I'd say is alright for promoting the game but still could be better). I enjoyed the game in the first 2 levels, but I felt that, for example levels 3&4, were much easier than the previous 2 but 5 felt the same as 1&2 (the gameplay also felt mostly the same throughout the 5 levels which made the later ones less enjoyable (also only 5 levels, I wish there was more to play and do)). The player model looks really good and has nice texturing, and the menus look really nice, but the rest of the game doesn't have much going for it visually, like the basically untextured boxes and the stock grass texture. The music was very good but there were only 2 songs and basically no sound effects.
Also the gameplay could definitely use some fixing, you can jump mid air after falling off an object, which either is unintentionally or just cause of extremely long coyote time (which I doubt). You can't zoom in or out, look that far up, and the camera clips into objects instead of getting pushed out. It has potential but also a few issues.
I really appreciate the in depth review you gave me and would appreciate the fair review, this game unfortunately I would say isnt one of my best works compared to my past games as I didnt really have time to work on the game as I only used two days on making this, but even with all that I still think I made something decent and hopefully fun and if there were going to be another gamejam next year from this same group Id love to join it and improve on making better games! I appreciate the feedback and Ill keep that in mind, thanks again!
also I forgot to mention im just the programmer and most the art music and everything was made by my team who are really talented people!
similar playable character to my teams game! Very cute design <3
Very silly!! Very Cute!!!
Cute character but Hey, where is my reward for beating the game?!
maybe the reward was the friends we made along the way gang :,> also it was supposed to have a thingamabober I forgot to change it last minute sadly
Best dressed goomba I have ever seen
