The Obstacle IS the Pathway: First Look at Boxes Are Void!


Hey everyone! I'm starting to share my solo project, Boxes Are Void!—a minimalist puzzle game where you reverse between positive and negative space.

It is a sokoban style game in which the goal is to move the characters and boxes (will show them in the future) into their respective goals. 


In every  level there are two characters, each of them exists in the negative space of the other. You can press "space" to switch between the space. The white character walks on black and gets blocked by white, and the black character walks on white and gets blocked by black.


In this demo level,  the black character can get to its goal easily, but the white character is blocked by a white wall.



The catch is, you can place the black player on the white wall, and since the white player can walk on black,  it allows the white player through.



And that's the basic hook of the game! There are a lot of exciting mechanics in this game that I can't wait to show in the future. More updates to follow soon.
