Boxes Review
By orange08 on 12 February 2011


Pros: Fantastic Gameplay, Great Achievements, cool graphical stuff.

Cons: No variable jumping, death sequence.

First of all, I would like to point out that this game is extremely addicting. From the urge to get in the top 500 of online highscores to the greed for unlocking more achievements, it hooks you big grin
When you first play the game, you'll realize that you play as a box, dodging boxes falling from above. While this may seem a bit boring, it is built upon by adding occasional lava waves that lash out at you. Not to mention powerups and exploding boxes big grin
The graphical aspect of this game adds a lot to the game. It's very flashy, and just goes to show you don't have to be a great spriter to have good graphics.
There are like 40+ achievements, and every time I unlock one, I feel very accomplished. The way it comes onto the screen while you're playing is very rewarding. It's a bit surprising that it only took 3 weeks to make this game smile
To make the game even better, Twenty3 has added seperate modes for your enjoyment! Although only the regular mode has online highscores.

This game has no need of a story, It's a fun concept and I think any kind of story would just be lame. :l

There are only 2 things I would change. #1: How the player dies. The "Getting killed and then falling up in the air and then out of the screen " idea is overused too much these days, and I would have preferred to see the player explode instead or something smile #2: Variable jumping. nuff said.

Overall it was an awesome game, kept me playing for a long time... and I will no doubt be playing it some more.
It shall forever remain in my favorites big grin
