    ABOUT PATRICK'S PARABOX:
    Patrick's Parabox is a mind-bending puzzle game that explores a unique recursive system of boxes within boxes within boxes within boxes. Learn to manipulate the world's structure by pushing boxes into and out of each other. Wrap your head around what happens when a box contains itself, and learn to use infinity to your advantage. Explore more mechanics and recursive twists as you delve deeper and deeper into the system. It's boxes all the way down.
    The game has over 250 hand-crafted puzzles, which are designed to make you think, but also to guide you and showcase the beauty of the system. Each puzzle contains a new idea; there is no filler.
    Patrick's Parabox won the Excellence in Design award in the Independent Games Festival 2020. The game was also an IndieCade 2019 festival selection and received the IndieCade Developers Choice award.

      It's fun to see how little the human eye/brain needs to find things adorable. We have a square with a thick outline, two dots which can move and blink, and the whole block is wobbly like jelly. BOOM, a little adorable protagonist for a puzzle game!

    You're overthinking it, Matt. In one of the last ones, where you need to "eat" these yellows from all four sides: when you did it the second run, you only needed to go from the other side, so the blue one would end up in the top left corner instead of top right, you didn't need to think of a completely new strategy for like ten more times. :) And it already happened many times, in different sorts of games - don't overthink it and throw away your plans - most of the time you're doing right and do just the smallest mistake. :)

    halfway through and im already curious if there's a paradox achievement or like, a rare move where you have two of you in the same-size level. I'm sure it's impossible but also could be a hidden bug or move... that'd be cool to see/experience

    • @freerobux49
      @freerobux49 2 роки тому +1

      if you push a level out of itself, you can cause a paradox and get an achievement. RCE was in one of the levels where you could do this, but he skipped over the idea

    • @dylanbksp
      @dylanbksp 2 роки тому

      there are two paradoxes, which are:

      Exiting a room infinitely (which puts you inside the infinity side of said room)
      Entering a room infinitely (which puts you inside the epsilon side of said room)

    I think the editing is (unusually for this channel) making watching this harder. Given the perspective changing nature of the game I didn't really like the cuts to different parts of the screen zoomed in.
    I think it's more important to be able to see the whole puzzle and with the simple art style I don't think the zooms are that necessary anyway.
