Gameplay
Like in BoxBoy!, BoxBoxBoy! has players controlling Qbby, a box-shaped character who can create boxes from out of his body. Like before, players use boxes to solve various puzzles, such as climbing on ledges, pushing switches, and avoiding obstacles, in order to reach the end of each level. In this game, Qbby is able to create two sets of boxes at a time, allowing for more complex puzzle solving.[b] Players can use medals earned from completing levels to unlock costumes, music tracks, and 4-panel comic strips, and can unlock additional levels by collecting crowns.[3]
