How it feels

A demanding and minimalist platformer that tests your reflexes with simple mechanics used in increasingly difficult ways.

What players say

Players are split on Hyper Box. Some find it challenging and fun with its 20 levels and tight 30-second timer, but many call it boring and frustrating. Complaints focus on clunky controls, including a cube that rotates unpredictably and gets stuck, and a bug that makes the timer tick too fast on level 13.
