I like it! Sometimes the boxes get stuck underground but thankfully there are plenty of them to go around and the restart is snappy. Also I ran over my boss more then once. Oups.
Awesome, I had a lot of fun on this one! I love the music, it really struck a chord with me :smile: The physics-based gameplay is great, and the animations are simple and effective.
I think it would be nice if left click picked up the nearest box instead of having to click directly onto it, and it took me a while to figure out you can jump with W (instead of the spacebar) which made walljumping a bit tricky.
a lot of times it seemed the enemies killed themselves by walking into boxes i hadn't touched. the only time the boss died was when i accidently killed him (oops) and the only time i died was when a glitch crushed me with my own box.
I'm surprised i haven't seen more bodyguard submissions. i suggest you build on this concept after voting is done.
Great mechanic! Though it would need a little bit more polish: for example when you die the game doesn't let you respawn and you need to wait for the bad guys to shoot the civilian or the falling boxes sometimes don't kill (which is crucial in level 4 or 5). Overall good job!
I really liked the game overall. Had a ton of fun killing the bad boiz.
I little more clarity would have been nice when it comes to the interaction with the boxes. Maybe highlight the box when hovered, or tint the sprite a little or something like that.

Could have had more levels, but this is difficult in a game jam ;D

Regardless, great idea and a nice execution! :)
Would have liked to see the box mechanic used more, but overall a solid entry.
