About Jumping Boxes
Step into the grim and shadowy world of Jumping Boxes, where colored boxes face a series of daunting challenges. Your task is to assist these vibrant characters as they traverse through a bleak landscape filled with menacing obstacles. With an intuitive gameplay style, all it takes is a simple tap or touch of the screen to have your box leap
Judged as a puzzle game, Jumping Boxes hits the notes you would hope for: a calm pace, hints or undo options and levels that teach one idea at a time. The skills it leans on are patience and pattern recognition; both improve noticeably after a few sessions.
How to play Jumping Boxes
- Press the play button above and wait for Jumping Boxes to finish loading. On first load this can take a few seconds while the game files are fetched.
- Follow the on-screen prompts. The developer describes the controls like this: Mouse click or tap to play

Tips and tricks
- Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
- If you are stuck for more than a couple of minutes, step away and come back. Puzzle solutions often arrive when you stop forcing them.
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
- Because this is a Mobile game, turn on rotation lock so the screen does not flip mid-game.
- Because this is a Clicker game, buy the cheapest upgrade that multiplies output rather than the flashiest one.
