Wow, super nice. Very impressive. Nice sound, nice graphics, nice idea.
This game is really fun and well polished! Love the little touches such as the key opening locks feedback, or when you miss and it makes a wood "blam" sound. The hard levels are sure a good challenge and I was thrilled all the way through. Keep it up!
This game is incredible! I never thought that finding keyholes would be soo addictive, found myself going for more and more. Both graphically and musically is impeccable
Such an awesome game and very polished! 5 stars from me!
This is an amazing game. Do you plan on further developing it? I wish you do because I loved the concept and execution. Congratulations.
This game is REALLY fun, I love it
The polish is great. Graphics and audio are top notch. Great work :)
So much polish. All the little bits of feedback shine especially when you jam the key in the wrong spot.
Fantastic game! Loved the aesthetic, the audio, and effects, felt very polished. And original idea. Like a Russian doll box with a bomb in it lol.
This is the kind of frustratingly, rage-quity fun gaming I aspire to create.
Fantastic game. Definitely my favourite so far!
Great game, extremely well executed and much more important I had a lot of fun playing it! Great job!
This was a really fun and addictive game. Decided that I wanted to beat the aaargh stage, it was long, my eyes are now bleeding, but it was worth it for the rush of accomplishment at the end. Thanks for a great game :)
Fantastic music and very juicy animations, love it. Don't really have any feedback to give, seems like you all had a very clear idea in mind and executed it very well.
This was well done! I went through difficulties getting the hang of things, and managed to beat the hardest level. Took a while (test of endurance), but I did it!
One attempt I managed to get break the game. I think I accidentally clicked on the box while it was coming out of the one I just unlocked. It made the box stop "unboxing", and I couldn't access any of the locks :/
Other than that and another attempt where the box was oddly rotated (maybe the same issue as above?), things went smoothly! Had fun, and the music/graphics were excellent.
Had tons of fun, great job!
Amazing work! The game feels so polished! Visually very appealing, SFX sound amazing, the mechanics feel solid and satisfying. The level difficulty feels a little unbalanced though, I think level "easy" could have less boxes and make "normal" what easy currently is, basically shift one difficulty level down one.
Great game fun to play!
I owned this game. I made it my bitch!
Joking, It was challenging, and has a kind of Rubix feel to it in terms of remembering where keys and locks are. As someone mentioned in my Stream Chat while I was playing: THIS IS EXTRA JUICY. You don't see many games with this level of detail and fun, made in a weekend.
SUPER AMAZING GAME!!!
Really well done! Great mechanic! The art is fantastic!
Very nice game! Love the art, the music and mechanics. Amazing job, guys!
Excellent mechanics and use of theme. This is a really cool puzzle game. I like how intuitive and quick it is to pick up. Jam games that do not need instructions are the best imo.
Nice game! A little bit hard for me, TBH, even didn't get through medium. Visuals are awesome, though, and I had a lot of fun with easy level.
The juiciness of this one, I'm really impressed. Good job :)
simple and polished entry. great job on adding further mechanics in harder difficulties.
This game makes you feel like the hero of a 90s terrorist movie, trying to defuse a bomb in the last few seconds. I felt like "AAARGH" even on medium difficulty :japanese_goblin: Great job! :smile:
Despite being very rage-inducing (especially when you mess up the easiest lock 3 times in a row) it was really fun trying to crack all of those boxes! The fact that you start with such a long fuse at the beginning, and it burns out almost immediately is very deceiving and I like it! Makes your heart bit go way up when you cracking the last boxes.
Lots of fun and a cool concept. The color-coded locks seem simple but had enough to keep it interesting. I did have trouble with the controls feeling inverted and felt like I never got into the groove because of it. The animations added a lot and gave you a nice peak at what was around the next side, which was clever.
Cool and ez game :D
Very funny! I loved the style.
This is AWESOME :o ! Congratulations for such a quality game! The concept is so simple but everything is here: leveling, good UI, feeback (the "toc" when the key hit the wood <3). Congratulations! What was the composition of the team behind Boombox? :)
@tipyx Thank You :)
We had two coders/sound&animators, one LevelDesigner/QA and one Artist/VFX
Very solid entry. Is level 4 infinite or just very long? I stopped after a few minutes, by that it had lost all its tension and I could have gone on for basically forever. Props to the artists aswell, the artstyle and execution is very well done!
@poweranze Level 4 is 100 boxes long! We threw it in just for fun, but you do raise a good point about tension - we will have something better at the end in the post jam version.
That's so great! So clean and polished! It looks like you knew exactly what you were doing from the first minute and didn't waste any time. I really can't find much to complain about - the visuals and sounds are great, the core mechanic is solid, the different puzzles feel varied and balanced. Outstanding job!
Very fun well polished game. Definitely would be a good mobile type game time waster. Really liked that the key holes that were moving seemed generous on hit detection. Great job.
I love the deeper and deeper theme put to some creative angle. Going deeper and deeper into the boxes was engaging and I was very pleasantly surprised by the different mechanics the difficulties offered. I love the way the box turns around, I can keep track of the keyholes by being organized with my movement. FUN GAME <3
An absolutely stunningly well polished game!
Everything blends together so well, top shelf art, music, sound effects and design all work in tandem to provide a wonderfully frustrating, heart bumping puzzle game.
Really can't think of anything to crit, your team did a BANG up job (hehe) and great entry!
Truly excellent. I had to play a few times to get it, but damn, this is a *solid* damned game.
Woaah, this is the best game I've played so far!! And I've playe like 50!! This is just perfect, reminds me a bit of Keep talking and nobody explodes, animations are just perfect, the idea is beautiful, the executionis superb.. Amazing work.. I ran into a few bugs that would'nt let me complete the level in some random ocations in the html 5 version, but other than that, this is just perfect. Congrats!!
Every once in awhile you come across a game that makes you feel incompetent as an indie dev. This game makes me wonder if maybe I should have been a banker or an architect. To think that a work of art like this was produced in such a short time, boggles my mind. You guys are amazing! Thank you for both inspiring and humbling me.
I streamed this game if you want to check the VOD. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1004793106?t=00h14m08s
This game is so polished I can’t believe it’s a jam game. The idea is simple but the execution is simply masterful. The animations are juicy, the art is crisp, the sound is immersive, and not a bug in sight. I am truly amazed.
Thank you so much for bringing this by my stream. Here's a link to the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1004703239?t=1h35m9s
I freaking love this game!
Really great game! I don't know how long is the last level, but I've played it for 20 minutes and it doesn't seems to end, I think I encountered a bug xD
Probably one of the better games I've played this jam! The different types of chests/boxes were a nice touch, the music - especially the percussion, added a nice bit of suspense. The controls were smooth. The moving keys in hard difficulty went a bit too quick for me at first but I managed to get used to them. Curious to see what else you'd be able to do with this concept. Highly addicting!
I loved. the sound effects are matching with everything, bomb sounds amazing, when I touch the wood with the key, amazing sounds hahahahha very good game, congrats
Nice polished entry, there's really not much to say about it except I had a lot of fun playing. The graphics, the music, the controls, everything feels just like it should. Kudos.
This game is sooo addicting, and I'm gonna keep trying till I beat it (like MetaMarkTea). Thank you!!
A real nice and refreshening entry with a good interpretation of theme. Puzzles offer a variety and are not monotonous, leading to a challenging gameplay.
A really nice game. I like art style, it's simple but really beautiful. A challenging game I like!
Super plished game guys. It felt really good to turn the box and use the keys.
I can't believe this game was made in 72 hours. The music, the sfx, the 3D Models ... everything is on point! Very good job :clap: :clap: :clap:
Awesome funny game, quite addictive once you find the flow :) We played it on [stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007202934?t=00h57m45s) with @badabooom63, and I am 100% sure you should find a way to port it to mobile ;)
@ksonyanya Thank You for playing. The stream was very fun ^^. Maybe with some hit detection tweaks it would be playable on mobile :)
As I said on the stream @ksonyanya mentioned, I catched the flow here. Before I rated the game as "just a good game" (and wrote review too!), but now reconsider - it is amazing!
@badabooom63 Haha, I'm glad You give it another go! We were quite surprised how quickly people improved their clicking skills (*especially when jumping straight to hard difficulty ;P). Thank You for changing Your rating. I really appreciate that :).
Nice and simple, but effective. Controls were intuitive and worked well for the gameplay. The sounds/animations were really solid, especially for when you miss-click and it bonks against the box. The fuse volume getting louder the lower it was was also a nice touch.
Pretty impressive you actually managed to get multiple difficulties with meaningful changes to them (instead of say, just shortening the timer).
Graphics were somewhat minimal but consistent in style and fit the humorous mood of the game.
If I had one suggestion to make, it would be to add an "invert" option for WASD since my brain apparently wanted to rotate things the opposite direction a lot. :upside_down: But overall, a pretty solid entry.
Very cool concept that's well executed, congratulations!
Very polished all around. The style is very goofy and enjoyable. The gameplay itself is very stressful which is a good drive. The concept is a good interpretation of the theme. Well done.
What and amazing game! Everything is so well-polished and the gameplay is super fun and unique. I had a lot of fun playing this. Great work!
Beautiful! Very polished. My brain enjoyed thinking in 3 dimensions. It tickled that rubik's cube part of my mind. Very solid.
How refreshing, a game with new game mechanics! (At least for me). Very fun and easy to understand. Graphics and music are top notch. With my daughter on the keyboard and me with the mouse, this was very entertaining :) Very well done!
Wow! Great game! I got really sucked in! I beat it on hard. The music is so fun. The art was incredible. You even had a really awesome background. There was just so much polish. Amazing.
My only request is if you could have the option to invert some of the WASD controls. I played a bunch and then came back a couple days later and played again. But I still would always rotate the wrong way. I just couldn't get myself to rotate the box the way I wanted.
[Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=02h55m14s)
This game was straight-up bananas. I love the energy going on here, from the crazy premise to the hectic animations and sound effects, the presentation here is top-notch. :ok_hand: I do think the randomly-generated boxes could use a little tweaking to make the player encounter new mechanics earlier on in the experience, but other than that, this was an absolutely rock-solid entry. Awesome job!!
Very high marks! I have no real criticism. The visuals, music, the sound, game design, everything is great! Anyone can play this game, which makes it that much better! I feel like this would be great on mobile with some direction touch buttons surrounding the box, or swipes to rotate.
The only thing I would consider adding, and this is totally an artistic/game-design choice; would be very little helper "cues"; A little sound or glowing effect to let you know when you've opened all of a particular color (maybe the key loses color?). If there *was* a hint, I didn't notice, I caught the obvious bell when all locks are unlocked. Maybe a more obvious visual cue would help too for anyone playing with their sound off at work while they should be working :eyes: lol
It's also easy to get a little disoriented by cube shaped boxes with the same color on all sides. I suppose that may be by design, but should maybe be held off for later boxes?
The chests; while being more scary looking, and being home to more high level locks, were actually kind of easy to navigate because they have a very distinct shape and you know where you are on the box. Although, yall may have thought that through and used the harder locks on the chests because of that very reason???....**mind blown** :smile:
Sorry if I just unloaded all kinds of silly ideas, but your game is **THAT** inspiring!!! :sweat_smile:
Good job everyone!
PS. I've never seen a game like this! 5/5 for innovation!
fun, polished, creative. top marks.
Really cool idea, polished, great feedback and satisfying audio and visuals. It's a simple idea taken to an extreme, and it works really well! Man, not sure what else to say, I don't have any major gripes... it was just fun. Really well done, one of the best entries I have played so far.
This game is so much fun, and so much more than I could ever expect. Great work!
This game is incredibly charming! Has great game feel and the audio design is solid. Couldn't help but smile at the little tack sound when you hit the wood haha. Great work!
Fantastic game! Best one I've seen so far! I really liked the graphics, the mood, the gameplay, everything really. It's great that you managed to do this all in one game jam (good teamwork played a part I would think). I found the game fun and well balanced and really liked the key in the hole mechanic (especially with the time restraint) and how well you fleshed this out to add depth to the later game. One thing I would add is an option to invert the rotation direction as I sometimes became a bit lost while navigating the box. 5 stars!
Nice! This is a good concept, executed well. Like another poster mentioned, I too found myself wishing for an invert-rotation button, but to be honest, I actually think having a hold-right-click-and-drag rotation scheme would actually be even better, as that is a bit more intuitive and keeps the game mouse-only. Feels a bit cleaner all around, so maybe you can experiment with that. I know y'all designed the game with discrete rotation states but it feels like it might be more interesting if you let the player rotate the box freely in this way, as tracking the rotation would be more of a skill.
Ran into the same bug that MrPiedPiper reported at one point, but other than that it felt pretty smooth!
Great work :)
Very nice polished game, the animation are gorgeous !
Awesome game, it's so polished, and fun! I don't have anything that's bad or lagging. Can you play and rate my game too, would be very cool!
good job, this game is amazing, well done
Amazing concept and well executed! Great game! I wish there was even more types of puzzles!
Awesome! A little stressful but great! ^^
Very clever take on the theme. The visuals were polished and captivating, especially when the boxes pop out of the previous box. The gameplay is simple, but intense, and I'm impressed by all the variations on the basic "lock and key" mechanic you manage to squeeze into it. I beat easy through hard, although it took me a while to figure out that the final difficulty was infinite (I assume). I wound up losing that only when I ran into a bug where clicking during the box opening transition causes the transition to freeze. This also made the fuse stop, so I had to quit out of the game at that point. Bug aside, I had a great time with this entry. Amazing work!
Really great game, nice work!
Talk about frantic gameplay! Love the concept and design, you all seem to really have a knack for these puzzle box games! Much love <3
Wow, awesome job with this! You managed to knock all aspects of this out of the park! Fun interesting gameplay, awesome visuals and great sound! Congrats on an amazing job with this one!
Amazing job ! Gameplay is fun, the goal make the game very intense. Graphics are beautiful, the UI is clean and well integrated. Animations are smooth and nice to look at. The background music perfectly fit with the game.
I would like a more juicy win animation, also the "easy" level is little bit to hard. Maybe increase the timer to let the player discover mechanics.
Awesome game :thumbsup: !
Great game, cool concept, and lots of fun. The game plays, looks, and sounds great! Really fun game, great work!
I love sounds and gameplay. This game is like my favorite of the mobile games The Room.
One of the most impressive puzzle games I've seen in this gamejam. Loved the "fast thinking" element and the pressure the game builds. All sounds, graphics and gameplay are well fitting and really polished. I had a great time playing this and would like to see more!
AAARGH! time sensitivity! one of my many and varied weaknesses! (joking aside, very fun)
cool game! i realy enjoyed playing it leaderboard could be realy cool
What a fantastic game! Really well polished, and seriously addictive too. I'm very impressed with this one, congrats!
Super fun game! one of my favorites so far!
Your requested Video is uploading right now, I'll link it here once it's done!

@tommytheitguy Thank you for clarifying :) I was just suprised since this was the first time such a notice has popped up for me. I also got the same notice for one other video that I did, so the first time I get such a notice I get two at once :D
@ausstein Wait. Did You actually manage to finish all the difficulties, including "arghhh" in a single go? :D Lots of people got stuck on easy for a while :S. Thank You for playing and the feedback. Endless mode + score system would be a nice thing to have :). I think we didn't add the full-screen option to webgl because it's prone to cause some bugs/issue - some programmer should correct me if that wasn't the actaul reason (the download version should work fine tho) :)
@chrissx2 yeah I found arghhh difficulty not as hard as medium or hard difficulty, since at that point I started memorizing the patterns. It was just longer. I think my medium and hard runs were much closer than the arghhh one 🤣
I think the only bomb that exploded was the one while I was introducing the game 😂
I usually use the "click to launch in fulscreen" option on itch. That one causes the least issues in my experience.
Thanks for submitting your game to my stream! I played it last weekend. You can watch me play it here (I start yours at 0:00:38):

Hey! Really really cool and polished entry, definitely one of the best in the entire jam. I didn't know box-opening puzzles could be as cool as this one hehe, although I would've made it to the end of the game if it wasn't for one annoying bug that causes a soft lock in the game, I think it's the same one @superpokeunicorn mentioned!
@alejandrodecea Ay, it's going to be fixed in the post-jam update! :) (including some small quality-of-life changes) Thank You for playing it!
Hi. I have not played such children's video games for a long time. I prefer to play at online casinos. in particular at spinland casino. This is a proven casino with many benefits. You can see this for yourself by reading this https://top-canadiancasinos.com/reviews/spinland-casino/ review. And by the way, in the spinland casino payment can be made in different ways. Which is very convenient.
It can sometimes be extremely difficult to find a bookmaker, as there are all sorts of scammers among them who should not be trusted, but there are also bookmakers who are licensed in the most developed countries. I can recommend a bookmaker that I play with, Melbet, here's a review https://mostbetaz.vip/ It's honest and gives you a good opportunity to earn money.
