Boxed In is for the Gameboy showdown jam of 2023

You play as the cardboard robot and your mission is simple: to make friends and to move into the village of Darson.

The  gameplay revolves around f helping the locals with their daily tasks and to fend off the extremely aggressive wild life.

Combat is a hybrid design between Punch-Out and classic RPGs as to make battles both exciting and challenging, while still being a easy to get the hang of.

The entire game was built by just me in 7 days

all assets were also made by just me.

The things that belong to anything else are from the following previous projects of mine:

- Sparks from Myte Byte

-Background tiles from Eternal Memory

-Encounter theme from Eternal memory

-Most NPCs are from Eternal Memory

The animation on the box is very cool but the problem, i can easily die. And if i die, I'm gonna go back to the title screen only that it's not actually save. I'm in the prologue part after the girl and the mayor talk. I just don't know how to finish the game without dying. 


But overall the palette is good. Other than that, have a great day!

thanks for the feedback, yeah I definitely could of balanced it better. Of course it was a 7 day jam so there wasn't much time to polish that part. Glad you could enjoy it for what its worth
