  • Puzzle
  • Logic
  • Recursive

A box-pushing puzzle where the boxes contain levels, and you can go inside them, even inside the box that contains you. The recursive ideas get more and more mind-bending. Played in short bursts.

Why play it now

When you want a short mental challenge: each level takes a few minutes and leaves you smiling.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoyed Baba Is You and likes puzzles that twist your brain elegantly.

When not to pick it

If you don't feel like thinking: the later levels are demanding.

What it offers

  • Thinking: 100 out of 100
  • Relaxing: 45 out of 100
  • Creating: 30 out of 100
