Really cool idea. took a bit getting used to, but once I did get used to it, I enjoyed the chaos. One thing though, is making the jump feel a bit more fluid, because it felt very jittery. Also, the pitch could've been better. (don't trust the smiling faces)

How does your game fit the theme?
You could say that I thought "inside the box" when working on all of these mechanics. I keep my emotions "Boxed up" lol. If you don't get it play the game again, and maybe you'll see

Concept is great! I really like the idea! That being said, I'm not really sure much of what's going on. A little bit overwhelming, particularly the bounce sound. If this could get some polishing, it could be a great time!!

Cloaked HandA very peculiar game. I certainly enjoy the variety of mechanics and effects on display; It definitely suits the nature of the game. Unfortunately, I was unable to get past the room with the weird smiley face (I think it is the second to last room). I thought the cheese room was funny.
I find it impressive you did this in scratch.

A Ghastly DayIDK what I just played but the art is kind of charming in a weird way

Pablo the packing peanutMaking a scratch game for a game jam is really hard, especially if the other people use more advanced engines, I know from experience. hope you'll get to the top 100, it's really great!

At the Corner of the UniverseI liked the amount of content you were able to add into this game! Its a simple concept, but you were able to add a lot of gameplay and flair by making sure to add the chaotic elements to the gameplay like the bomb etc. I think that fits pandoras box well! Once I realized this was all done in scratch I was even more impressed!
Very good especially for first game jam, keep up the good work!

Glorp and Glep: The Cardboard CrisisThank You so much, this post means a lot that alot to me, Rated by someone who is (definitely is going to be) in the top 100 I've Never Really have thought about my game that way, This game might just be my best work of art yet, My game Being made in scratch was never on purpose, I just don't Know how to code Using Boring word, I only really code in visual, I hope In the future, Visual coding becomes "Real" type of coding, so I can make games outside of scratch, I hope the best of luck in the game jam GlitchyGamer99 :D
congrats on submitting! i did find the instructions at the beginning, a tutorial (like others have said) would be really nice. it's a little too hectic for me! and the controls needs a little optimizing, but it definitely has potential.

Setting Off (Demo)This is the first scratch game i am reviewing, although concept is nice and unique it is harder to understand what to do in the game at first place, the game feels complicated as well as unique, more unique because it’s made in scratch.
Btw good luck for the Jam

Trapped StarThankyou for reviewing my game, In the near foreseeable future(after the game jam) I plan to add a more fleshed tutorial so it will be less complicated, I worked very hard on this game, I felt like i did pretty good for it being my first game jam, Thanks again and feel free to recommend this game to a friend :D
Haven't seen a scratch game yet, so this was a nice surprise. Really interesting game and concept, well done!

Make BelieveI really enjoyed the small amount I played so far, obviously I have not beaten the game but I got enough of it to understand what was going on, it took me a bit at first to truly understand the game.. maybe a tutorial in future of it? I love the creativeness of this. It does randomly get a lot more hectic, which shocks me but its nice

Glass HalosReally wild concept, I love how the different mechanics stack on top of each other to sell that chaotic “trapped in the box” feeling, and when it clicks it’s a lot of fun. I do think a super short in‑game hint or tutorial for the basic goal and controls would help new players get into the chaos faster, but overall this is a very cool jam entry!

EgressIt's really unclear what to do in this game and what's the goal. The game needs some kind of tutorial. I also had a bug, i was constantly teleported a little bit up, fall a little bit and be teleported again. Congratulations on submitting though!
