I enjoyed the concept of stripping down a metroidvania to only its most essential parts, but the only cheevo in the game (collecting all the secrets) is locked behind a buggy and temperamental set of switches that doesn't work half the time. Bit of a bummer, but the rest of the game is good.
There's definitely some potential in the concept here, but 'boxlife' is not a cohesive nor enjoyble product in the slightest. Completing the game took me 15 mins, and my other 30 mins of playtime were spent looking for the 9 'secrets' hidden in the game after the fact. It's a good thing the game is short, because if it was any longer I probably would've just given up due to lack of enjoyment overall.

so awesome
Meh
A fun game, but it's more of a concept than a complete game. There's one level, and that's it. If you never played the original itch game (which is free and a bit more bare bones) then this is a fun experience for the first time. I find it to be a very charming and completely unique game. I wish it were taken further, with more levels and maybe some kind of story. Worth playing if you enjoy weird games.
Feels like it was made in a week but nothing broke on me and that's good enough
Good use of the Unity Engine and the controls are very tight, but there needs to be some story or challenge to the game to fully flesh it out.
This very much feels like the developer's first or second attempt at making a game so it is a little rough around the edges. Nevertheless, I enjoy exploration games like this and the developer did a decent job at keeping me hooked until the end. It's short and simple but overall a nice experience. Good job!
