## What is boxes.?

Boxes can be pushed, never pulled.

boxes. is a box-pushing puzzle made of glass. Walk around the warehouse and push every box onto a goal. That's the whole rule, but a box you've pushed can't be pulled back. Push it into a corner and it's stuck for good. Push them in the wrong order and the stage can no longer be solved.

- Know the moment you're stuck
The instant a stage becomes unsolvable, the screen glows red. Step back with UNDO or start over with RESET. You only ever have to think about how to solve it, never whether it's still solvable.

- 557 stages, ordered by LEVEL
The first 7 stages are tutorials on pushing, push order and taking the long way round. Then come stages with one box, two boxes, and on up to twelve-box puzzles. Every stage carries a LEVEL worked out from how much searching and how many detours it takes, and they're ordered from easiest to hardest. Every stage is guaranteed to be solvable.

- A warehouse of glass
Clear green walls, amber boxes and a reflective floor. Boxes wobble as you push them. Twist with two fingers to turn the board, and drag with three fingers to change the viewing angle.

- Best times
Each solved stage keeps your fastest time. The clock stops while you pause.

- Made for quiet play
- No ads, no accounts
- A few minutes a stage, just right for a commute
- Adjustable sound, music and vibration
