This is a short point and click puzzle. The art style reminds me of Machnimarium. The world is very cute and interesting. I enjoy the visuals and the word-less story. Sometimes I wasn't quite sure what the illustrations were wanting me to do, but overall it was a nice short enjoyable puzzle experience. There were a few puzzles where I had to get a hint because I just wasn't combining the correct object with the right spot in the environment. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys these sorts of experiences

Boxville offers a soothing, albeit frustrating experience at times. As a cartoon and as a story the game is outstanding and memorable due to its tranquil and idyllic setting and design. However, certain solutions and puzzles can be far too tedious or unclear, thus occasionally turning a relaxing experience into a frustrating one. Even though I have mixed feelings about this game, I'd still say Boxville deserves a positive review as it's obvious the developers put a lot of effort and love into it. I'm also proud it was made in Ukraine.

A wonderfully sweet and fun point and click adventure with a lovely art style very reminscent of Machinarium. Not the most difficult game, and will only take you about 2-3 hours to finish it, but it's a joy from start to finish.

I really liked the game. It is similar to Machinarium which is also another great game. However, the soundtracks are not natural and does not reflect the environment & ambiance. Also, it would be better if some animations could be stoppable when I give up doing something. Besides these, the art work is awesome.

A dirty, grimy world of boxes and cans and junk.

Beautiful artwork and animation with straightforward puzzles.

Heavily inspired by Machinarium, which is good.

Took me 3 hours to finish 100%.

Hope this developer makes more games.

Hi,

I really enjoyed this game. Beautiful art, some tricky puzzles and it had nice story line.

The only thing I was a little disappointed about - how short it was. I wanted mooooore please :)

Waiting for another one!

Thank you

If you liked playing Machinarium you'll definitely enjoy Boxville as well. Give it a try!
Its a heart warming story about a can man looking for his missing dog in Bloxville.
The art work looks pretty clean and charming, there's no way for you to get lost in Bloxville.
The puzzles themselves are not too easy or too hard to figure out, just the right amount of difficulty. The only complaint is that this game is around 3 hours long for 15 dollars may turn some people away. I would suggest adding in a challenge mode where the world is mirrored to lengthen the play time further. Short and sweet is what I can say about Bloxville.

It's a short and sweet puzzle game with a nice story! I found all the puzzles solveable, and some of them were quite challenging. The entire game was challenging enough to provide fun for an evening, which was well worth the money to me!

Cute game, just don't be like me and hit the star in the main menu then confirm, it resets your save. The game does a good job with no text but it's not always 100% clear :)

Short and sweet, this game is the definition of "attention to detail". Every image, every animation, and every puzzle is carefully crafted (and I use the word "crafted" because the phrase "carefully done" does not convey the amount of effort poured into this game).

Just an adorable game! The artwork is so endearing - some of the puzzles were a little hard but enjoyable all the same.
I would highly recommend and will keep an eye out for more games from this developer!

Such a great game! I've been heavily anticipating this one since I found it in the Steam Next Fest back in June of this year.

I didn't have any sort of bugs or technical issues, it just worked. I played about half of it on Linux (natively!) and half of it on the Steam Deck where it worked very well too. I didn't need to adjust anything to make it work on the deck either, not controls or anything.

It was a short, but very sweet experience. It definitely would've taken me longer, probably at least another hour or so, but the demo covers a portion of the game and I was already somewhat familiar with that area; so that helped speed things along.

The music was peaceful, but energetic. The visuals are gorgeous and well done. The puzzles are challenging, but not sticky either. There were a few head scratchers for me, but none of them took me too long to finally get ahold of. That is to say, not to the point of frustration.

I really recommend this game if you're looking for a nice chill point and click moon logic-y type game. Very fun.

Pretty short for 15 dollars. Good style. Hard to tell what you can and can't do in this game. Heartwarming ending.
Hard to recommend it for this price, but if it's on sale then go for it.

This is a lovely game, but please be aware that it is extremely short. I finished it in just under 3 hours, and that was with distractions.

The art style is gorgeous, the characters are adorable. The puzzles are great, not too easy to be boring, but not too hard to make me give up.

It's just a shame that it's not very long, and a good chunk of the game is what was already playable as the demo. I do feel the price is a little high for the content.

Love it. Absolutely delightful. Animation is wonderful. Puzzles are great. Some are head scratchers. Played the demo and enjoyed it very much. Great work on all aspects; graphics, sound, story, and length. I would like to see more by this team.

Incredible wholesome game that has soothing calming Lofi feeling. Relax and go on adventures with fun tin friends. The music is delightful and the soundscaping even more so. Great game to stream if you are looking for a fun calm game with great music. I finished the main story in three hours but there are some bonus stories I'm excited to still find.
