Pile Up! Box by Box is a co-op 3D platformer game developed by French studio Seed by Seed, a wholesome game that’s fun for the whole family, an exploration and Collect-A-Thon adventure through a beautiful cardboard world, with simple controls with the only three additional movements aside from the walking directions being jump, slide, and throw. Coordinate with your 4 other players to get past puzzle obstacles that will test your creativity, help the people of this land by taking in quests, and if you’re feeling a bit competitive play the minigames scattered throughout the map.  

• The levels and islands you’re going to be visiting are all open-ended, you have the option to scour the whole map for every collectible or just get the essential ones, uncover mysteries lying in wait in the environment, or help the inhabitants with their problems.
• Although it is recommended to play with 4 people, they can just drop in and out at anytime and the game will rescale the puzzles and make it so that 3 people can do them and so on.
• For party game lovers there are mini-games you can play scattered throughout the world for those times you just want to be slightly competitive.
• For a team that’s looking for a challenge you can unlock timer mode, this will put your box piling skills to the test. Find the quickest routes and progress as fast as you can through the world.

Reviews

No matter your age, there’s plenty of fun to be had in Pile-Up! Box by Box. Its papercraft world is beautiful, and exploring each of its levels proves to be an entertaining endeavor filled with enjoyable puzzles. It’s just a shame that it’s all over too quickly. But if being left wanting more is the only real problem, then that’s a pretty good sign of a great game.
