Play Boxxle Online

Summary

Boxxle is a classic sokoban puzzle on Game Boy that tasks you with pushing crates onto marked spots to earn enough cash to impress a girlfriend. It packs 108 increasingly tricky stages, and even lets you design your own layouts in an edit mode.

The game saves progress with a simple password system, a handy feature for handheld gaming back then. Critics at the time praised its “infuriatingly addictive” nature, noting the careful planning each level demands.

Scores ranged from 88% in Computer & Video Games to mixed marks in Electronic Gaming Monthly and TOTAL!, which called the visuals unspectacular but acknowledged the challenge. Retrospectives from Comic Book Resources and TheGamer now list Boxxle among the hardest Game Boy titles.
