Yoo this game is cool as hell! There's little of the explode theme, but the special object implementation is neat.

Submitted

I've played to the end and had a blast! Shooting aliens is always fun and the ability to break it is a very nice touch. Great job with the sprites and animations, everything feels right at place.

Submitted

A little far from the explode theme for me but a nice game otherwise!

Really incredible! Love the visuals, creative take on implementing boxes, having multiple abilities (punch vs music shockwave thingy), the gameplay was responsive, the music and sfx were excellent, and most importantly, the ability to BREAK IT DOWN!!! The joy of holding down F while I move to the exit was peak.

Developer

Heck yeah! Thank you, the game wouldn't be the same without an option for spinning like a pinwheel while the beat goes wild!

Audio and Visuals were spectacular.  Love how the music changes, funky beats!   Platformer controls felt great.  I wanted more!   Well done!

I wanted to say "how is this related to the jams theme?" and then read again the name *BOOM BOX* - and it's genius!

This is nice submission! Love the art style

Developer

Thanks so much! The sprite animation was a lot of fun to design and the color pallet came from this website- > https://lospec.com/palette-list

Love the interpretation of the theme and special object. Art is top notch and the beat goes hard. Good work! 

Developer

Gee, thanks a ton! I spent a lot of time on the discovery of the theme and special object. I might make some dev log updates about the planning stage and share sketches.

I´d love to see that!
