is it just me or the game decides when you can pick a box below you and jump immediately? anyway, that would be a cool mechanic to design a level around also, you can cheese by picking the bottom box from a pile of boxes, then run fast below it
great game! really wanted to see more of those blue-red-white switch mechanics
Do you like 2D platformers? Do you like puzzles? Do you like boxes??? Well, you've come to the right place!
Tiny Crate really does a lot of things well with it's easy-to-learn, difficult-to-master mechanics mixed with progressively more difficult levels and added tech that builds on the simplicity of stacking boxes.
There was only one aspect of the game that prevents me from saying it was an all around perfect puzzle platformer: the throwing mechanic. While you won't usually run into levels where it's a noticeable detriment, the tighter levels (mainly in world 2) showcase the skill you'll need to have in order to gain enough momentum in game to throw a box. This doesn't seem like such an issue, but there will be times where you need to move just enough to register a throw, but not too much or you'll fall off of a small platform. A simple fix would've been to have different buttons for throwing the box or placing it like c to throw and down arrow to place. To some, this might seem like a really minor detail added intentionally that just adds to the difficulty, but even once you have it down, you'll still get random drops where your character is moving slow enough where it should drop the box but throws it or vice-versa which causes some levels to feel unfair difficulty-wise and overall feel like an inconvenience.
All in all, definitely play this game; you'll scratch your head, rage a bit, come back, and learn that if you push yourself, you got this!
Fun game! A little bit tricky on some level but still finiahed all in 30 mins :) it'd be better if you give some hint about throwing crate left and right though..
Just released my video on this game! It's really fun and I like the simplicity of the concept. However, I was having a really hard time with one level - mainly due to my brain crossing up the buttons SUPER HARD.
Im gonna be real, I quit the game when the build a ladder with boxs lesson was shoved too much into my face. cool design, neat graphics work on your levels, more does not always mean better.
What a fun game! What I really love about it is it's minimalist. The character isn't some highly-detailed pixel character and the controls are not complicated to understand. Amazing Job overall! I like it!
Very cool. I think the ramp up difficulty is really nice. However, it ended before it got really difficult (for me at least), which makes me think there should be more and more difficult levels. But it plays well, looks well and sounds well, good job!

Interesting, but not that much depth for many levels.

Nice work!
thank u!(:
very cute wee game :)
thx!^.^
Level 3.4 -- anyone? How do you get to the red button?
jump & toss! u got this(:
Hmm nice, at first walkthrough i think it's just a bait, and jump-grab crates to achieve portal...
Thanks. That level was a pain, but I made it. Your game was fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing it!
awh thx 4 playin!
so cute and satisfying :)
thx!(:
Fantastic little game! The graphics are lovely and the gameplay is simple but satisfying.
thank u!!(:
Fun! The main mechanic is simple, but satisfying to use. Also, I found a cheese on 3-4. See if you can do it!
thx! ^.^ oo nice what did u do? xD ive found a few ways
I got the three boxes then just kept throw jumping them on the spikes until i reached the end.
