Ok right away, this game has a cool concept. It starts out great! However the last half of the game pretty much requires you to have lightning reflexes... Which I don't have. I ended up skipping a good chunk of the last levels because I ended up getting really frustrated. The thing is play games to have fun not frustration. The enemies are the worst part of this game by far. Having to guide a slime while also placing boxes where you are is not fun. BUT the bird creatures are the absolute worst. It's basically a thwomp but it travels at the speed of sound. I found it to be nearly impossible to bait it into dropping without dying. Look the idea of this game is cool, but it leans way more towards precision platforming than regular platforming. But It's worth a try since it's free. EDIT: Alright.. ♥♥♥♥ this game. This final boss is ♥♥♥♥. I finally after about an hour I managed to "beat" the boss and then it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ came back to life but harder.... Ok no more mr nice guy. I was avoiding saying some of my opinions on this game initially, but no more! If this game cost money I would have refunded it. I will not complete this game because I already spent way to much time trying to beat th…2 found this helpful
[h1]Before I played BoyandBox, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]2 found this helpful
It's a really challenging and an unique game, but personally I had to give up at the 23th level... don't see a chance how to solve that part. I don't understand one of the reviews here, which is trying to tell us that this game wouldn't be anything special, because the idea of using your mouse for placing a box and your keyboard at the same time for jumping and walking is very unusual. So if you are up for a challenge and want a free game, then go for it! And my respect to all of the people who actually managed to beat this game without dying a single time!1 found this helpful
Игра "BoyandBox" - это простая, но увлекательная головоломка, которая держит в напряжении с каждым новым уровнем. Идея перемещения ящиков по лабиринту может показаться банальной, но игра умело накручивает сложность, добавляя новые элементы и препятствия. Мне понравилось, как постепенно вводят механики, позволяя полностью освоить каждую из них, прежде чем бросить новый вызов. Графика минималистична, но приятна глазу, ничего не отвлекает от основной цели - решения головоломок. Управление интуитивно понятно, что особенно важно для игр такого жанра. Однако, иногда хотелось бы видеть больше подсказок, особенно на более поздних уровнях, где решение может быть неочевидным. Несмотря на это, "BoyandBox" определенно стоит внимания любителей головоломок. Она предлагает достаточно испытаний, чтобы занять на несколько часов, и в то же время не перегружает сложными решениями. Это отличный вариант для тех, кто ищет что-то простое, но захватывающее, чтобы скоротать время. Рекомендую!
I think BoyandBox is a very difficult platformer that spikes in difficulty over the course of the game, and the final levels we're really hard. The boss at the end of the game is the final test that shows if you are worthy enough to beat the game, and it took me so many hours to beat, but the sense of reward you get from beating it and other levels makes this game really good even though it may be really hard sometimes with its controls, and unique mechanics. Great Game 10/10
