Cool concept and art style. I found myself just dealing with one box instead of preserving them all. With that, it felt a little too easy. Some music would add to the atmosphere as well. Cool game!

I quickly lost the first 2 boxes but managed to keep the last one for a pretty long time !
As @ liammasters said, a little background music could really benefit to the mood, but great game nonetheless !

Neat idea and good execution. The graphics have a nice pixel theme and all fit together pretty well. Like others have mentioned, keeping all three boxes alive is definitely a challenge but becomes a lot easier if you only focus on one box. Good job!

Game is great, I think you should make it so you gain more score if you have more boxes. Right now you can just protect one box and it becomes very easy. Also the sound is extremely loud, you should probably add settings.

Getting past ~2200 score seems to be near impossible.

As others have said, it's just easier to ignore two of the boxes and protect one. There should be a penalty/bonus for losing/keeping them.

Fun concept! It felt pretty quick to learn the mechanics, only had to play a couple times to get a pretty decent I score. I found it was easiest to just let 2 boxes die, then carry one box around and protect it without ever setting it down. Fun stuff!

This game was fun. Frsutrating and anxeity inducing, but fun. It would be good if there was a penalty for losing a box, otherwise you can play on easy mode by sacrificing two boxes and protecting the last one.

Nice! I never thought a game about babysitting boxes could be so fun! :smile:
On my second attempt, I was doing really well until it became impossible to avoid dangers as both upper platform had spikes come out at the same time as a laser on the bottom platform. Still, it was good fun :slight_smile:

Simple and fun game design.
Visuals are very clean. ( Love title font if you made that yourself.)
Easy to cheese this game by holding on to one box.
Maybe try:
- Making it so you move slower/jump shorter while holding on to a box
- The points earned per second is a lot less with fewer boxes alive
- Making it so you may only hold on to box for a few seconds before it is dropped
Solid work overall. I see a LOT of potential for such a simple game. Bigger stages and a larger variety of traps. Maybe different box types/sizes that are immune to some traps but explode and can potentially destroy other boxes if it's hit with a lazer!

Nice work, It's simple but the game loop was very well implemented :)
The one point that incomodating me is "I'm worry about only the last box, because the game end if the 3 boxes are destroyed."

Quite difficult but really fine work. Loved the pixel art.

Great idea and execution! I love the low-bit art and the simple animations. The gameplay loop is also very satisfying and addicting. Would love to see more of it, are you looking to keep working on the game post-jam?

This was fun! My highest score was 2650 which feels like the highest I'll probably get unless I am extremely lucky as I was put into an impossible situation (two lasers on both levels fired almost immediately at the same time).
Great job :smiley:

I like the style! It is difficult in the right measure, simple and challenging. Cool game!

Unique game and very challenging.



The game runs well, but it's really hard to keep the boxes alive if you still have more than one.
It get's way easier with the last box.
Had fun playing.
