I just purchased Boxboy! And I'm really enjoying it. Yes, the game never stops "teaching" you, but that keeps the levels fresh! There's only so much you can do with a relatively simple game mechanic. It more or less introduces a new concept or hazard in each world. It reminds me of the old donkey kong game on game boy where it is simple at it's core, but they introduce different level features to keep it fresh and make you think about how to get past he obstacle safely. Boxboy! Introduces spikes, conveyors, and cranes so far from what I've played and it really makes for some challenging puzzles in the later stages. The sense of accomplishment when finally figuring out what you need to do is great! Yes the graphics are simple, but it was $5.99 CDN, and it has solid gameplay, so I really don't mind how it looks. Great bang for your buck, I'd recommend it for any puzzle/platformer fans. 8.5/10
