Gameplay
Just like the previous game, BoxBoxBoy! once again 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. This time around, Qbby is able to create two sets of boxes at a time, allowing for more complex puzzle solving. Players can use medals earned from completing levels to unlock costumes, music tracks, and 4-panel comic strips, and unlock additional levels by collecting crowns.
Reception
The game received positive reviews from critics. Destructoid wrote that it had a "simplistic elegance". The gaming magazine Game Informer stated that it was "remarkably similar" to its predecessor and failed to expand on the original concept, but that these were not "bad things".
