Boxed In 4+

I played the old versions of Boxed In (1-3) and was sufficiently challenged. I enjoy strategy and
Puzzles and this game offers both, so after solving all the rounds, I would revisit the games every 4 to 6 months to see how quickly I could finish 50 rounds. Eventually, the game
would not update and I finally decided to purchase the new version. This is still a great puzzle game, but I am truly irritated by the new graphics. The incessant flashing light to signify the door is open is absolutely irritating and I fail to understand why the robot is the same gray color as the boxes. Why not make him stand out with a distinct color? The 3D graphics have taken some adjusting too. I suspect the creator thought the game needed more pizzazz with the graphics, but I do wish he would at least tone down the flashing door and change the color of the robots as it detracts from enjoying the game. Otherwise, if you like puzzles, this is great game to challenge you.

There’s no point making a game “3D” if that third dimension is never used for anything. I loved the original few Boxed In/Iced In games. They were fun and creative and visually clean and simple. This update adds a lot of unnecessary visual elements that don’t help the game at all. It’s difficult to see where the robot is to start and all the animations feel more like they’re done because they can, not because it will help anything. The game is better off going back to a clean 2D design and focusing on new levels and game elements.

This puzzle game is so cool! I played the original back when I was a kid, and now my thinking is allowing me to much more easily complete the in-game levels.

Unfortunately, after finishing some of the Pack 1 levels, the game begins to freeze for a teeny bit before displaying the dancing robot finish (that is an absolutely hilarious upgrade to the game, by the way).

However, the freezing started to happen every time I moved the robot into the goal square. That is a big problem. After finishing Level 25, the game freezes completely and I have to reload it, and it shows that I had not completed Level 25. I tried over ten times, repeatedly completing Level 25, but the game froze completely every time. PLEASE FIX THIS. Until you fix the freezing, I’m gonna have to put the game down for a bit. But other than that, 5 stars!
