Also, I've just released a short puzzle game called Linelith, as part of the CosmOS 9 bundle, a special bundle of 9 short and sweet puzzle games discovered in space! Linelith is a much, much shorter game than Patrick's Parabox, but I think it turned out well! Definitely recommend checking it and the bundle out!

[ 2022-05-19 19:14:03 CET ] [ Original post ] Minor bugfix update 2022-04-13Hi all, I've just uploaded a minor bugfix update.
Changes:
- Tweak puzzle Open 5
- Change puzzle Challenge 35 due to the solution relying on a bug which has since been fixed. (whoops!)
- Add settings to disable player eye movement, and to disable mouse click zooming.
Bugfixes:
- For custom levels, make Unity editor project export level files consistently using periods instead of commas (if your operating system is set to a locale which uses commas in decimal numbers, please use this new version)
- Minor bugfixes

[ 2021-06-14 20:01:45 CET ] [ Original post ] Patrick's Parabox is a mind-bending puzzle game that explores a unique recursive system of boxes within boxes within boxes within boxes. Learn to manipulate the world's structure by pushing boxes into and out of each other. Wrap your head around what happens when a box contains itself, and learn to use infinity to your advantage. Explore more mechanics and recursive twists as you delve deeper and deeper into the system. It's boxes all the way down.

The game has over 250 hand-crafted puzzles, which are designed to make you think, but also to guide you and showcase the beauty of the system. Each puzzle contains a new idea; there is no filler.

Patrick's Parabox won the Excellence in Design award in the Independent Games Festival 2020. The game was also an IndieCade 2019 festival selection and received the IndieCade Developers Choice award.
