Beat Boxy

Beat Boxy is a rhythm-based 3D auto-runner with low-poly graphics. You play as Boxy, a shipping crate dressed in a hat, glasses, gloves and boots of your choosing, as he runs toward his delivery destination. Boxy moves at a constant speed within each level, and you use two actions—jump and slide—to avoid obstacles. The game has three difficulties: Easy, Hard and Insane.

Avoid obstacles

Jump over obstacles, chain jumps for seamless landings and slide beneath overhead hazards. Sliding slows Boxy by 10% and slows the music’s tempo along with him, affecting your completion time. Bushes and puddles act as Slow Zones, reducing both speed and tempo by exactly 50%; collectible Speed Boosts increase travel speed by 50% for a short time. Boxy has no health bar: hitting an obstacle ends the run immediately.

Modes of transport

Levels use three modes of transport, each faster than the last. Walking is also available for fan-made levels.

• Running: Speed 1, the base speed.
• Skateboarding: Speed 2, 25% faster than running.
• Rollerblading: Speed 3, 50% faster than running.
• Walking: Speed 0, up to 50% slower than running.

Gems and ranks

You collect Gems throughout levels to unlock outfits in the shop, but if Boxy dies before reaching the finish, he loses every Gem collected on that run. Each level awards a rank based on clear time, ranging from Flawless and Prodigy to Garbage and Literal Feces. After 100 failed attempts, you can skip a level, but doing so permanently gives you the Literal Feces rank for that stage until you beat it.

Challenges and tools

The game includes an in-game level editor, cloud and device saving, global leaderboards, daily challenges and the option to challenge other players. Practice Mode includes checkpoints, while a ghost player shows the fastest time and replays let you watch your last or fastest run. You can skip levels after 100 tries, and the game has over 140 achievements, more than 110 unlockable gear and outfit items, 12 ranks and 10 weather types.
