== Mini Blue Box Boy == By Mr. Wonko A game made in 48h for Ludum Dare 22 (December 2012)
You are Blue Box Boy and you're all alone. So you run and jump around, hoping to find somebody. But deep inside you already know: You won't find anybody. But maybe you'll win!
You have some pretty solid gameplay mechanics here, the difficulty ramped up pretty quickly so there were some frustrating moments, but the controls always felt fairly responsive. A proper tie in with the theme would have been cool, but that aside you have some solid gameplay. :P

Maybe... tell the player they can wall jump so they don't feel dumb getting stuck in the first level? ;_;
Pretty solid gameplay, I assume you ran out of time to make more levels using the physics objects that are only introduced at the end? Shame cos I think they could have been used for some interesting level/puzzles... Ooh a level editor... :D
Maaaaaaaaaaaaan... Why it's zipped with 7z ? and why I get ton of folder when I un7zip it ?
wow, it's fun :3 take a few second to understand how slowly you fall, and how far you can jump. Physics ! you can push these box *_* put them in lava *_* Too bad they don't burn after some times. Ho, too bad, it's already the end. But it's lot of fun. thank a lot o/
Thanks for the kind comments and sorry for not giving Linux more love - I built that on a whim when bored at uni, haven't booted into Ubuntu at home for quite a while...
As for 7zip - I just used that since I kinda like it without giving it much thought, didn't think anybody might have problems with it...
Regarding not explaining much - it's mostly a result of little time. I tried to build the levels around it, i.e. you first get a simple level and you need to understand the specific skill (i.e. wall jumping) to get past it, Portal-style. (Though more levels would've been nice.)
As for the insane difficulty - I didn't really notice that. That's why having others test the game is so important... Being pretty good at Super Meat Boy myself I might've overdone it, though I didn't want it to be too easy either - given enough time I might've made multiple "campaigns" of varying difficulty?
I'll check back in a day or two and try again. :)
