Info

Play as a knight adventuring through a wild world full of box-bots.  Swing your sword at them to turn them into boxes which you can pickup, place down, and throw around.  Complete puzzles and try to get to each level's teleporter.  Be careful not to run out of health due to bots or spikes!

Box Bots contains 20 levels.

Controls

Use the arrow keys [←] [↑] [→] or [W] [A] [S] [D] to move around.

Use the [Space Bar] to jump.

Use the [Z/C] keys to swing your sword.

Use the [X/V] keys to pickup, place, and throw boxes.

To place a box, press the pickup button while holding a box or while facing a box.  The box underneath the player takes priority.

To throw a box, press the pickup button and up button while holding a box.

Press the [R] key to restart the level.

Important Tricks

Eventually some levels (Levels 4 & 20) require you to use a special trick to jump and grab a box at the same time.

Use the [Space Bar] to jump and immediately use the [X/V] keys to pick up the block. Find different ways to utilize this (or maybe cheese some other levels)!
