Wake up the box
About Wake up the box
A physics-based puzzle game where players attach wooden shapes to structures to wake up a sleeping box.
How to play Wake up the box
The main goal of the game is to wake up the sleeping, grumpy Mr. Box by disturbing his sleep and forcing him to move or fall off his perch. To achieve this, you must use your mouse to draw or attach various wooden shapes—such as circles, squares, and lines—onto existing wooden structures. Once drawn, these shapes instantly gain physical properties like gravity and mass, falling or pivoting to interact with the environment.
Success depends on planning your designs to create levers, weights, and rolling objects. Analyze the level layout to identify pivot points and potential chain reactions. In the early stages, simple weights will suffice, but later levels require precise timing and complex structures to nudge the box. Focus on using the minimum amount of wood needed to trigger a reaction, ensuring your custom-drawn pieces swing or roll with enough momentum to displace the sleeping target.
