Bring back 2d

Not every app needs an extensive visual overhaul that removes the simple joy of the old game, please bring back 2d. Simple graphics are nice too

Fab game, but I need help!!

Fabulous game for the mind I’d give more stars, tho I’m completely stuck on boxed in 2 lvl 46, I just cannot see how it works out, please, I don’t know where to ask for a hint - anyone please help me. TIA.

Why? Seriously, Why?

2025 Review:
What??? Decided to replay one of my fav games & am stunned that any developer, much less Dennis, looked at this game, had a 💡moment, & decided:

This game needs…

-Blinding, flashing lights (TV shows issue warnings)
-A tiny dark character for users to search for (really?) before play can begin and that looks like a tick one might find on a pet
-Destination squares that can be difficult to identify
-and an Undue button that works sporadically

To be fair, I don’t recall a badly needed Undue button originally, so I guess this sporadically functional one counts as an improvement.

Am curious to know who designed the “modernized” version of this game that has no resemblance to the quality of the original. Same dev name on this app…but *is* it?

(And Pushy still updates & is still fabulous.)

ORIGINAL REVIEW years ago:
LOVE this game. Worth every penny! Dev wrote on Twitter that Boxed In 2 is at Apple for approval. Can't wait for more of this FABULOUS game. This app is fun, challenging, and well designed. First-class. (Pushy is another great one.) BOXED IN is worth more than charged. RECOMMENDED.

Beware the light

I played the original version of the game and loved it. Recently reinstalled it. But now between the 3D graphics and the horrendous flashing white light (and gray character that is hard to see) I am going to have to pass. If you have a seizure disorder or a head injury, stay away from the light! There should be a warning about it. Miss the original.

Amazing

Found this game again after I first played probably 6 or 7 years ago. It’s as amazing as I remember! My old account is sixth on the top level creators list!!
