About Boxxle 2

Boxxle 2 is a puzzle game where the player pushes crates onto designated spots across 120 levels. The core mechanic is challenging because crates can only be pushed, not pulled, which can lead to creating impassable blockades or trapping crates in dead ends.

A narrative premise involves the protagonist Willy attempting to fund a rocket to rescue his girlfriend from a UFO, with crate-pushing presented as the means to earn money. The primary update from the first game is the entirely new set of levels, as the visual presentation remains unchanged.

Progress through the game is tracked using a password system, though player-designed levels cannot be saved due to the absence of a battery backup.
