Very enjoyable and great for a casual puzzle gamer.

It’s really very interesting that the levels up to September seem to come together on their own. I have no idea why it’s working like that!

October, on the other hand, I can’t seem to be able to solve at all. Ouch…

Okay, I managed to do it, it was way tough. November was hard, but not as much, and December was a pushover. I wonder if this pattern has any meaning to you?

Regarding the ‘aiming’, probably a good solution would have been to only read a ‘ray’ pointing in the precise cardinal directions of each box, and if the cursor is at an intersection of these, prefer the one closest, or if at the same distance, the one previously selected.

Yeah, that wasn’t something I was able to fully figure out to my satisfaction – as is it is, it just takes the closest box to the cursor.

Very interesting! I want to make some kind of cheesy comment about how this game is really all about potential energy.

It was sometimes hard to tell which box is the “cursor” at any one moment– like, when I move the cursor in a certain way, which arrow will be pointing toward the cursor and which will be pointing away. When the boxes got very close it seemed like they would start “fighting” over which would point toward and which would point away.

[…] Box is a simple puzzler from increpare in which you attempt to get all your dots into boxes. It doesn’t matter which box they go in, though you might not find many puzzles with multiple solutions. The catch? You need to move two dots at once, but they can only move in opposite directions. If a dot is obstructed by a wall, the other dot can’t move. […]

“happy **********”? Why not release this in ********** or ************, when it would be relevant?

I didn’t realise it was a weekly thing now. I will try to make it sometime soon.
