Boxes love boxing gloves is the latest puzzlescript puzzler by Alan Hazelden: try to reach the exit in each level but beware of boxes with boxing gloves... (Oh and like most of his games: the puzzles are hard!)

This is good. Have been stuck on level 4 for ages. (thanks for the z option so I don't have to die every time)
ReplyDeleteI don't like these games at all, my brain just doesn't work the way required, I can't even understand level 2 so quit there. No music, just a simple frustrating puzzler with about 10 pixels.
ReplyDeleteReally stuck on level 4, can't think far enough ahead to picture a solution.
ReplyDeleteFinally solved 4, level 5 seems even more complicated
ReplyDeleteDont know if you saw this one bart, found it very nice :

very gooood...
ReplyDeletebut very difficult !
stuck at level 13... any help ?
@William: 5 isn't as complicated as it seems, you just need a way to separate the 4 boxes on the left so they aren't above/below each other to crush you. Only one box can help you here, it's just a matter of positioning that box to make the journey.
ReplyDeleteI also got stuck on level 4.
ReplyDeleteI then "hacked" the game & found a ? in lv.4.
It appears to be a special condition only in lv.4.
In other words the rules were changed to make it harder.
So now I will quit cause that's cheaty & unfair .. boo hoo.
I don't understand the previous comment about level 4.
ReplyDeleteI was stuck there too, but now that I've reached level 13, level 4 seems very easy to me... and it seems to have the same rules as others levels.
has anyone solved level 13 yet ? and could give a hand ?
Hi there, developer here! Responding to comment 8: the ? rule in level 4 is just something to control the priority of which box triggers first in cases of ambiguity. In most of the cases I use it, it's there to prevent weird situations from coming up and confusing people, rather than anything to do with the actual solution to the level.
ReplyDeleteHope that makes sense!
Alan
Stumped on level 8 - I know I need to bring the upward puncher down to the bottom, but can't see how to push it through the central board area and beyond...
ReplyDeleteGood game, but hard from the start!
Stuck on level 13 too grrrrr!!!
ReplyDeleteThe central springbox doesn't seems to be push up and to the right without springing.
for level 8 :
ReplyDeleteput the down puncher on the top, and the upward puncher under it
push the 2 of them on the right side of the grey stone, and go between them (don't forget to put a side puncher just under the grey stone before)
repeat from under the first grey stone, and with the second grey stone, and tadaam ! you've reached the bottom
(sorry for my poor english)
Clue for level 13:
ReplyDeletegrid: A-B-C
D-E
F-G
The puncher in E.
Bring the boxing box (up) in F
Bring the boxing box (right) in A
Push F in G and the puncher goes in C without springing!
La nuit porte conseil...

ReplyDeleteThanks Marie for level 8 - I was fixated on keeping the downward puncher available for the push down, and so didn't think of stranding it on the top row...
Onwards...

ReplyDeleteCurrently stuck on level level 15, anybody got some tips?
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody have any extra tips for Level 5?
ReplyDeletetip for level 15 :
ReplyDeleteonce the upward puncher is in front of the springbox, put the left puncher between them
any tips for level 14 ?
Level 14: Try to find a way to push the leftmost upward puncher to the left.
ReplyDeletethat's exactly what i'm trying to do...
ReplyDelete:(
Maybe try and put the springbox 1 row higher
ReplyDeletethanks to all those anonymous for their precious tips...
ReplyDeletestill 20 and 21 to solve
mais puisque la nuit porte conseil...
any idea for level 20 ?
ReplyDeleteFor level 20 you need to get the downward punching springbox to the right. To do this I used all other springboxes (in sprung form) to make a protective train around this springbox then pushed this train right with the right puncher and then cleared it to the left with the left puncher so that I could get to the springbox to push it the final bit...
ReplyDeleteyeeeeeeeesssssss !
ReplyDeleteI've finished all levels !
thanks for the help, thanks to Bart for posting, and thanks to Alan Hazelden for making us suffer with this wonderful game !
4?.. Obv that the up puncher has to taken to the down puncher to clear the exit but CANNOT figure out how to get it one more space down so it's in front of the left puncher.. ??!!
ReplyDeleteCould someone help me on level 4? I'm still there, not wanting go give up, after several days...

Stuck on 14!!!
ReplyDeletePlease help me!
I'm sorry, Anonymous, was that for me? I don't understand what the R's and x's and so on mean...
ReplyDeleteIt's the map with letters:
ReplyDeleteR = Box boxing right
L = Box boxing left
U = Up
D = Down
X = Wall square
0 = empty square
OK?
Got the map but can't see how you get L from just to right of the 'gate' into position under the R..
ReplyDeletefor level 14, use the same trick as in level 13 to put the springbox (in its small form) 1 row higher, in the corner above the leftmost upward puncher...
ReplyDeleteTo Anon:
ReplyDeletereally? go under it, push it up , go next right to it and push it left!!! Basic moves!
To Marie: merci! C'est ce que j'essayais depuis un moment mais du mauvais côté... après une pause la solution m'a sauté aux yeux grâce à ta motivation.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anonymous. I was assuming it had to go down the right hand side of the dividing wall.
ReplyDeleteNow stuck on 6 after a relatively easy 5.. I have got what seems to be really close, by setting off a little chain reaction, but then find one thing blocking the way.. and just can't see another way around it.. sigh
level 7 hint please???
ReplyDeleteanon, have you tried to push the upward pusher to the bottom ?
ReplyDeletefor level 7, manage to push the right upward puncher to the left
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have a hint for level 18? I've been working on it for the past two days but I feel like I've exhausted all the possibilities I could think of...
ReplyDeletefor level 18 :
ReplyDeletemaybe you should use the door where you came from ?
No idea what to do with no 12 ... please help
ReplyDeletelevel 12 :
ReplyDeleteuse the right springbox to help the down springbox (unextended) to reach the right part of the level
Marie, thanks a lot, it worked at last!

Thanx for the gif(t)
ReplyDeleteIndeed an amazing gif(t)!
ReplyDeleteWOW, great game Bart! and you are right, tough as nails! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteA great game. Only logic, minimalistic rules, horrendous complexity.
ReplyDeleteSokoban on crack :) (Alan, maybe you should add to the description
that boxes can be pushed, stupid me was stuck on level 1 already...)
Finally I had the idea that boxes can be pushed with other boxes,
I'm tempted to make up some own levels now.

Okay, so it's over two years later. I realize everyone in this forum is long gone, but I finally solved all the levels, unassisted. I was stuck on 13, 14, 15, 20 and 21, gave up for two years, then got 15, 20 and 21 a month ago. But, got stuck replaying level 8, and couldn't remember how I'd solved it! Okay, got that again. But I honestly thought 13 and 14 were unsolvable. Unless, there really was a way to get that one-time-down box up without springing it. Which was impossible, right? Then, it dawned on me. And then it still took me another couple of hours to get level 13.
