10/10 Game of the year
when is 2014 edition coming out?

ryebread761 2014-04-28 02:29

Couldn't seem to join your server (clicking connect did nothing). I did play the game however single-player. Was pretty fun.

move127 2014-04-28 02:30

Quite amusing. Box Box Box Box Box

ehtd 2014-04-28 02:31

lol I wasn't sure what I was doing, but BOX!!!

nicom 2014-04-28 02:38

Strangely fun:D I had no idea what to do, so I just drove around, listening to the beautiful soundtrack;) reminds me in a weird way of carmageddon :) good job!

zenton 2014-04-28 02:44

Going in I had no way of know there would be boxes, boxes/10 would box again.

sfbtom 2014-04-28 03:46

If you're going to play one game from LD48 this year, this should be box.

elforama 2014-04-28 03:49

Those boxes, so vocal. I loved the audio in this. Box blast!

drmelon 2014-04-28 03:49

Had fun playing this with a friend! But I dunno what it has to do with the surface theme, haha!

terraco 2014-04-28 03:56

@DrMelon The theme - the boxes contain shovels and the screaming when you hit the boxes is just the shovels hurting the boxes, from beneath their surface. BOX!

cr2crstudios 2014-04-28 04:54

Hahahaha, box.

hyperbox 2014-04-28 05:36

I sat watching the title screen, but nothing happened, and I don't see a single player option... All my life they told me I could never box, and I thought this would be my chance... but sadly, it doesn't seem to be so.

terraco 2014-04-28 05:41

Ah, Brian. You were clearly not thinking outside the box. To be box, one must not be box.

Host your own server and you can box.

hyperbox 2014-04-28 05:47

Thank you terraco, my dream has finally been fulfilled, I can now say with pride that I was able to box box box box box box box box box boxboxboxbox

terraco 2014-04-28 05:50

Box be to you, young box.

idkfawin32 2014-04-28 06:30

BOX SIMULATOR 2014!!!

shyupuff 2014-04-28 06:32

Didn't see how this was related to the theme but BOXESSSSS!!!!

whalebot 2014-04-28 06:34

WTF. Box. This game deserves an award.

kirbytails7 2014-04-28 06:34

Box/10. Would box again.
I couldn't connect to any servers, and the camera seemed to get in weird positions. Very box, though!

suese 2014-04-28 06:38

Doesn't do anything when I click 'connect'

suese 2014-04-28 06:42

Doesn't do anything when I click 'connect'. Local game didn't really explain the whole thing. I'm tempted to think this game is more fun multi-player. I'm curious though, the game had absolutely nothing to do with the theme. What's up with that?

jacob-peltola 2014-04-28 06:44

Box, box box box... box box? box, BOX box box BOXBOX box.

terraco 2014-04-28 06:46

@seuss - you're right, it is really good in multiplayer. You can't experience smashing into your friends if you have none available. Also it doesn't seem to connect over the internet, only locally. My bad!

terraco 2014-04-28 06:52

Also, Suess... I updated the description to address your concerns.

graf_grun 2014-04-28 07:07

Audio 5/5.

honcho 2014-04-28 07:44

LOL. Craziness...

paperblurt 2014-04-28 07:54

The other day me and my friends talked about the serious lack of box simulation games in the world.

We can stop worry now.

Good graphics.

techblogogy 2014-04-28 07:56

11/10 You won the LD Congrats!

caridorc 2014-04-28 08:06

This 'boxing' game is very strange but amusing (I did not know what I was doing but, it was FUN).

iamspencer 2014-04-28 08:26

haha always fun to goof around and drive off raps. good job. :)

dreii 2014-04-28 08:35

box

r0x0r 2014-04-28 08:55

Can't play on linux =( i think the text it's not rendered.. http://imgur.com/OrtdTNw

spotco 2014-04-28 08:57

glorious sound effects if I could rate those higher than 5 i would

terraco 2014-04-28 08:58

@r0x0r - is that in the web player or downloaded from GameJolt?

givemeallyourcats 2014-04-28 10:15

What the hell :D

samoatesgames 2014-04-28 10:45

Box, box boooxxxxx, box, box box.

SO funny XD great work.

bzizi 2014-04-28 11:39

Box simulator!

eskivor 2014-04-28 11:39

Cameras and controls are weird.

split82 2014-04-28 12:29

BOOOOOX :D Lol Crazy stuff.

microapple 2014-04-28 13:01

Enjoyed this quite a bit. Nice sound effects. ;D Really fun physics stuff.

The menu could have been documented a bit more. A little confusing to get into a game.

hypnohustla 2014-04-28 13:08

Multiplayer games are always impressive for Ludum Dare. There wasn't anyone to play with but still a cool game! And I'm glad you didn't take the theme too seriously! :)

foofur 2014-04-28 13:52

Five stars for ultimate boxiness omg :D

morcosan 2014-04-28 14:39

well done :)

maddestudios 2014-04-28 16:22

This is too good! I want a full version, with more boxes. MORE BOXES!!!

lacaranian 2014-04-28 17:41

Not sure I got how the theme fit in, but the game is a box to be reckoned with. Nice work!

benmcnelly 2014-04-28 20:42

10/10 would rofl again

darkmeatgames 2014-04-28 22:18

Nice, loved the sfx (boxboxboxbox) - If the controls had been a bit better, I could definitely see spending some time screwing around! Polish it up, could be the next goat simulator ;D

towelking 2014-04-28 23:05

box box box box box

ninjacharlie 2014-04-29 00:12

Haha. This was fun. Sadly no one was online when I was on :(

Good job, though. The sound effects are great :)

conormn 2014-04-29 00:31

Nicely done.

caiustsm 2014-04-29 00:39

lol

codermusgrove 2014-04-29 00:43

Wow, that was so amazing, all I can say is, just,
BOX!

killthealias 2014-04-29 00:45

FUCKING

BOX

crawler-studios 2014-04-29 00:53

Really funny game. Very fun though. Just driving around in the truck hearing 'box, box, box, box, box, box...' was very funny to me. Love it, very good game.

somfunambulist 2014-04-29 00:55

Very interesting gameplay and graphics. Hard to hit those ramps, but very rewarding.

drnick 2014-04-29 01:52

This has nothing to do with the theme.

terraco 2014-04-29 02:00

@drnick - It's ok, some people didn't understand the theme of Inception either. If you don't get it, just enjoy it.

fortyseven 2014-04-29 02:42

Well, I wasn't planning on sleeping ever again anyway. ;)

endesga 2014-04-29 04:06

Hahahahaha oh man this is so cool xD

BOX!

Box Box Box ! Box... Box box box, box box. Box ?

terraco 2014-04-29 06:20

Sir box boxington the box.

thorig 2014-04-29 06:24

Box Box Box Box Box Box Box Box Box Box Box Box.. The new Hodor? This made me laugh.

tiffi_gaming 2014-04-29 07:29

Box of the year... But i didn't see the theme in there :D

terraco 2014-04-29 07:41

The theme is there, you just need to look beneath the surface.

neekobus 2014-04-29 09:22

Box ! box ! box !
Could be interesting if you show a counter of destroyed boxes, and some specials items.
Could be a mash up of "Mario Kart" (the Ballon battle) and "Pain"

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-04-29 11:10

The drift is just rad!!! I had fun just destroying things, good concept!

barkingcat 2014-04-29 11:58

What in the... box. BOXES, doing backflips with the back of my truck full of boxes.

davidc02 2014-04-29 12:31

haha

lanoiadimuu 2014-04-29 12:54

I wasn't able to play online, I only played local games.
I had absolutely no idea of what I was doing and the controls were so bad they felt actually good.
On Beneath the Surface level the camera actually got beneath the surface on slopes, I had no idea of where I was going.

" Box box box box box box box box box box boxboxboxboxbox! " This only made the game 10/10.

binary_girl 2014-04-29 13:01

haha.. nice box ..good job :)

papygaragos 2014-04-29 13:56

It's funny how you turned a limitation of the compo to a strenght for your game. Good job!

The game is also pretty fun in solo, I can only imagine what it's like with a lot of players

ioboi 2014-04-29 16:49

Haha, the soundeffects are awesome especially the pitching :D

crabman 2014-04-29 17:23

Aw yeah, BOXES!

ninjabit 2014-04-29 18:40

Go in reverse: BOOOXX BOOOOXX BOOOOXXX lmao

aaronjbaptiste 2014-04-29 20:44

haha, I could drive that truck all day. box, box, box, box!

tau7153 2014-04-29 21:13

Making an mostly multiplayer game is not a very good idea, especially online only. The game itself didn't seem to really hit the theme or be terribly engaging.

tankete 2014-04-29 22:24

So games much box wow! Not really sure what I was supposed to do, but it was...interesting! :)

romankornev 2014-04-29 22:27

LMAO Still better than most of "wub wub wub" stuff:)

BOXES! Would you like a box with that? lol

sevenkingdomssurvivors 2014-04-30 02:34

Haha that was great!

zedutchgandalf 2014-04-30 08:06

The camera can be a real PITA sometimes...
But I like this :D
Also: box box box box box box box box box box box box

archaeometrician 2014-04-30 12:13

Hahah such a funny game ;) Neat idea :)

matthias_zarzecki 2014-04-30 12:38

Ha, I see what you did there.

Neat idea! Did you make the driving yourself, or is that a premade tool? (like Jcar)

terraco 2014-04-30 13:18

Driving was done myself :) had trouble with the suspension in a short time so i decided to cut the springs and make it rigid as.

martinysa0311 2014-04-30 14:27

Crazy Box! love trucks games... Congrats

secret_tunnel 2014-05-01 00:10

Box box box box? Box box box box!

petey123567 2014-05-01 02:01

Is this what they call... "Boxing"? XD

terraco 2014-05-01 04:21

Yes. Yes it is.

pixel_3 2014-05-01 05:22

I box, I box, and I box again. And that was just with a single box. Truly some of the most fun I've had this LD.

~AlucardX60

timtipgames 2014-05-01 11:04

Gotta love those boxes! Voice acting supreme, great physics, unfortunately had no one to play with :)

mrfriedfish 2014-05-01 11:07

really cool BOX game! great job!

teamflare 2014-05-01 11:49

Boxboxboxboxbox :) I had a good laugh.

ruerob 2014-05-01 13:05

Nuf nuf nuf. Makes a lot of fun. BOOOOOX

caranha 2014-05-01 15:24

A friend recommended me this game. But it is Unity Web Plugin only, which does not work in my system :-(

I guess I'll have to BOX the game and play it later.

(Binaries, please!)

recursor 2014-05-01 17:35

Hilarious!

snoother 2014-05-01 20:27

Okay, that was pretty damn funny. And weirdly creepy.

terraco 2014-05-01 22:06

Hey Caranha, there are downloads with .zip's, .exe's and all the other goodness available as well!

adamwoolridge 2014-05-01 22:16

Audio made me laugh! Good work :)

javifugitivo 2014-05-01 23:18

Box box box every time!

klianc09 2014-05-02 13:27

This was the best Box Simulator I ever played. There is nothing more to say.

logun 2014-05-02 19:25

You get 5 stars in audio for that truck sound :D
It's always fun to run into things, so i had fun :)

tomvert 2014-05-03 06:09

Sorry, I couldn't play your game, there was only one server up and nothing happened when I clicked "connect".

terraco 2014-05-03 06:58

Sorry to hear that Tomvert. You can play by clicking start server

magicrat 2014-05-04 03:13

Box!! Definitely inspired by the intentionally quirky Goat Simulator or Surgeon Simulator.

terraco 2014-05-04 05:23

Hey Cirolve, unfortunately I haven't played either of those games :(

arcturusdeluxe 2014-05-04 22:21

First of all I'm giving you a 5 for audio, because box. I wish I had more people to play with because this actually looks like a lot of fun. Cool stuff!

pinkmonkeyhead 2014-05-05 15:04

I would love to check the source.

terraco 2014-05-12 01:54

Hey pinkmonkeyhead, source link added. Post comp link updated for those interested

zerkruemler 2014-05-14 07:34

Strange. Took me several minutes to find the depot. Overall I don't understand the gameplay. It seems to be fun with multiplayer only.
