In Boxes is a rule finding puzzle game about putting cats in boxes.

This early prototype has 25 short puzzles with 12 different cats each with different behaviours, ranging from being too loud to a standard box not being good enough.

There is also an experimental very early Random Deck maker (unlocked after completing the hand crafted puzzles). Many of the decks generated by this will be unsolvable while this feature is under development.

How To Play

  • Left click on cards to select them
  • Left click on a box to play the card
  • Revert your last turn with the rewind button in the bottom right of the screen
  • Hold left mouse button on a cat to pat

This is so cute and the cats are so silly lol I love the variety of behaviors and also the way they act in-game... it's a joy to get to find out what goofy thing the new cat is going to do. I worried I wouldn't be able to remember which cat does what but I actually learned pretty quick. Super enjoyable!!
