Boxed In

ste v p · 10-09-2009, 2:01 PM

Great new app free app for the iphone for people who like a logic puzzle type of game. You need to direct a robot to the exit to move on to the next level. There are boxes in his way and he can only push them out of his way to get the the exit.

It's pretty high on the top25 free apps if you struggle to find it. Well worth it and it's ridiculously addictive!

Cheers for the heads up! Its free for a limited time apparantly.. downloading it now, whats the worse that can happen!

This game is brilliant. The best free game I've downloaded. Im totally addicted to it, but I can't do level 24, I've done 25, but can't unlock any more levels until 24 is complete and its driving me crazy!!

I'm guessing you can get a box into the red square but are struggling with the green square...and get somewhere like this...(see image)?

You then can't get behind the box to push it into the green square. Just think about how you got the box into the red square and you might come to the solution...

P.S. I completed the game (far too much time on my hands) so if you need any more hints, send me a PM

hutch · 20-09-2009, 12:59 AM

Another thumbs up here, some of the levels are real head scratchers

Level 34 at the minute, back to it today.

How many levels are there in total, out of interest?

hutch · 20-09-2009, 12:38 PM

Aargh level 35 is a killer, ive just done it but its taken me absolutely ages to work it out

ObeyOne · 20-09-2009, 7:59 PM

Good game.. does get quite hard - On level 19 at the moment and scratching my head

50 - found out by accident by simply touching the current level you're on at the bottom of the screen.

yeah there are 50 but I don't think you can go too far past the level you're on without completing it first.

By my reckoning, level 44 is the hardest one to do. The ones after are tough but I spent a long time on 44.

This game is quality, but I'm really stuck on level 44...any tips please

Funnily enough I've done level 45 with not too much trouble

Please with the update so that you get a directional pad, so much easier, but I have been known to push those boxes a bit too far

Tikkaspecial · 24-09-2009, 1:11 PM

Definitely the best free game I have played and I agree 44 is the hardest.

The final 6 aren't as bad so stick at it!

mark raeburn · 25-09-2009, 8:23 AM

just done level 44 (and 45 was relatively easy), took me about 2 hours to figure it out. Basically you need to ensure that 4 of the blocks in the middle are active. Start moving them from the top inwards. You should eventually find that you are able to get 2 out of the top and 2 out of the bottom

Cheers Mark, I'll have another go with that in mind

I agree, this is a highly addictive game and well thought out. Hours and hours of fun and it's FREE or extremely cheap.
Would someone please put me out of my misery and show me the opening moves for level 25. It's driving me crazy. I must be missing something.
How on earth do you get through that initial corridor to get behind the top boxes. My lateral thinking ability seems to have gone on vacation.

Thanks in advance

The way I did it was to the push the box that's closest to you as far to the right as you can. (i.e two blocks)

Now walk up 2 blocks, then 1 block left, then up 1 block, then 1 block left. Then push the block that's below you down by 1 block.

Now move 3 blocks right then push the box that's above you up by 1 block. Now move the block that's to your left, 1 block to the left. Now push the box that's nearest to the Blue pressure pad all the way down onto the Red pressure pad.

The other box that's close to the vacant Blue pressure pad needs to be moved onto this pressure pad.

Pick up the moving cog and then move the free box which is located diagonally left to the blue pressure pad into the yellow pessure pad (Yes I know I haven't chosen the colour yellow as it won't show up).

I'll let you work out the rest! Don't forget the other cog!

Thank you so much for your reply. I did finally work it out myself at 2AM this morning Melbourne Aus time. Opened the game and the solution to the move I was blocked on was obvious. Attribute this to my over tired brain moving into a different thinking mode. Of course that opened up five more levels and I was up until 3.30AM! Tragic! Thank goodness today is Sunday. Am now up to level 32 and loving it. Don't want this game to end. Bring on Boxed In 2!!

jerryq7777 · 29-09-2009, 12:31 AM

Just finished this great game roll on box2

rdaoptom · 29-09-2009, 2:02 AM

Well done. Up to level 45 and don't want it to end. By far the best game on the app store

mark raeburn · 29-09-2009, 1:43 PM

Finished it myself yesterday, level 44 was far and away the hardest level!

Showoff · 01-10-2009, 12:40 PM

Got to agree this is a great game and very addictive. Completed it a while ago and got a nice message that none of their testers could complete all 50! [smug mode] I don't think any of the levels took me more than 20 minutes to figure out, but some are much harder than others.
On some you almost convince yourself that it's not possible then all of a sudden the solution becomes obvious!

I've got the misses onto it now.

phairplay · 11-11-2009, 8:18 AM

boxed in 2 out now on the app store £0.59

Coffin · 16-11-2009, 12:51 PM

Awesome game, 59p but well worth it!

Got it yesterday and currently stuck on level 41

Stuck on 43 now..!

*SOUNDSTYLE* · 18-11-2009, 7:53 PM

For some reason I found the last level really hard and it took me ages to work it out. Completed them all in the end though! (About a month ago)

What is Boxed In 2 like then? More of the same and is it worth the £0.59?

Coffin · 19-11-2009, 4:58 PM

Just completed it, cracking little game. Been playing it at work all the time

I'm wondering the same...

chukwe · 26-11-2009, 9:07 PM

I've completed boxed in and boxed in 2.

Does anyone know of another game similar to boxed in?

andyk · 07-12-2009, 1:28 PM

I've got Boxed In 2.
I've completed level 15, but it won't let me advance to any more levels. Any ideas?

Andy, all I can advise is that you make sure you have completed all the levels 1-14, as its sometimes easy to accidentally catch the forward button near the bottom of the screen.
If that's not helped, then maybe a reinstall could fix the problem

I've had no trouble in advancing through the levels ( but I'm only up to level 26)

Let me know how you go on
