Super Retro BoxBot

Just got through the first 20 levels in this game plus the first bonus level, messed around with the editor a bit, and I have to say I'm liking it so far. When I saw the screenshots, my thoughts were "this looks like a $5 game", but picked it up anyways after watching a few streamers play it. I'm a little dense when it comes to these sort of games (though I still love many older puzzle games like lemmings and baldies), so the hint feature came in super helpful. I did try to use it sparingly, just popping it up briefly to make sure I'm thinking in the right direction. Unlimited undos is a godsend, not sure the rewind feature is too useful when I can just undo. Level editor is fun to mess around in, but it's hard to come up with a puzzle that's actually fun to play, but I enjoyed downloading and trying out some levels people made and uploaded to indiedb. Was a little frustrated at first when I couldn't turn around without moving, but realize after a few puzzles that it seems to factor into the puzzle designs and being able to turn around at-will without moving would break some of the puzzles. I would recommend this to hardcore puzzle loves and people who like oldschool difficulty. For casual puzzle solvers, you might get frustrated on the later puzzles but the hint system helps. If you're not sure, I recommend trying the demo since it seemed to have a mix of easy and hard levels.

I grew up with these sorts of games, so I may be a tad biased. I'm jaded by the hand-holding that many games these days do, and this one does not do that. It's much more difficult than I expected, which is a plus for me. The first row of levels does a good job of introducing the gameplay mechanics without having to resort to outright telling you what to do. The difficulty ramps up pretty quickly after that. I almost walked away when I saw that the game had hints added, but luckily they are not as hand-holdy as I thought they would be. Essentially, they provide end-states for the boxes, similar to how a sokoban game plays. Even when turned on, the more difficult puzzles are still challenging, but I am leaving it off unless I get absolutely stuck. The level editor is nice, and I'm looking forward to come up with some ideas to upload, but the sheer number of custom level slots is overkill. It's nice to have plenty of slots, but I can't imagine any individual person making that many levels in the editor, and keeping track of that many would not be trivial. Also, while this game plays great with a controller, the level editor lends itself better to a mouse. Honestly, I'm surprised but appreciative that you implemented gamepad controls in the editor at all, though I think I will stick to mouse for level making. I think the bonus levels are my favorite part of the game. They are brutally difficult for the most part, which I assume is why they are separate from the main levels (granted the later main levels are pretty hard). The only bonus level I don't like so far is 10, that one is a bit tedious, to be frank. Otherwise, I love the bonus levels and wish there were more. Hopefully the dev is listening and will add more bonus levels in an update, or even a DLC level pack. In the meantime, I'll keep an eye on the community shared levels and try to make some of my own. Overall, this game is fantastic for oldschool puzzle gamers like me who enjoy thinky games. I remember playing something similar on my TI-84 in my college days, and this plays a lot smoother than that while not looking like a mobile game. I look forward to seeing what else this dev comes up with in the future.

Seems fun however I think im to thick to play this will retry with controller at some point

Really love the new Super Retro BoxBot game! It is fun, as well as, VERY CHALLENGING! Highly recommend this game to all ages, young and old! I really love the RETRO feel of this game, it brings back old memories with a new modern feel with great graphics!

I did not realize how much I love, love, love box-stacking games. This and Pilapia are such treasures, both games doing the same thing in their own distinct way. I played it so much I even beat one of the developer's minimum move scores. If this looks even remotely interesting, don't hesitate. Cozy brain candy.

Fun little puzzle game. It gets real hard real fast too.

Quite the brain twister. I can only assume the levels will get more difficult but I gotta beat them!!

The little bot is adorable. I personally found the game challenging but not in a "i'm quitting and never playing again" kind of way. I'm currently on level 7 and having to re-think how to go about moving the boxes. All around, it's a pretty good game.
