EDITOR NOTES
Classic Mac OS version available in 'Related Links' below on this page.
DESCRIPTION
BoXiKoN is a fun and addictive puzzle game of strategy and logic. The game belongs to the Action Puzzle genre but BoXiKoN really is quite different. There is a large emphasis on planning, organization and selection and less on arcade style quick reactions.

There are 15 levels and more than 60 shapes of increasing complexity with which the player is free to position anywhere in game grid. This offers more freedom for creative logic and strategic foresight than the usual falling shapes style puzzle games.

    EZRABBIT  I wanted to leave a comment on the forums but I am unable to register. It's been over a week and I have not gotten any response to activate my account, despite multiple emails to the developer.

    I wanted to ask why the sound effects for removing rows or 4x4 boxes were removed from the game?

    In this new version the blocks disappear silently.

    I think that was a bad decision and I'd like to ask the developers to consider putting those sounds effects back in.  (Version 1.6)

    Installed the latest on my new Mac Pro under 10.4.8.

    During the trial i'm getting sound problems. Often when placing a piece, i get a sort of click, instead of the proper "klonk" sound.  (Version 1.5.5)

    SHOECAKE  Sorry for the late replies to some of these messages, I don't read MacUpdate too frequently. We had a nightmare with email Spam/Junk filtering with mail going to or from us. It got so bad that we decided to setup a support forum on our website so anyone who's having trouble getting help/advice/support can contact us that way (with public topic or private message.) You'll always get a quick reply I assure you.

    You'll find most of the bugs/problems reported here have been resolved in recent updates, particularly with the latest Universal Binary version. We'd also like to welcome discussion of any other problems on our forum where they can be discussed at length and quickly resolved where possible.

    We use a 60 minute demo period which is an industry standard across the majority of casual game developers/portals.

    And finally, I'm always happy to see people giving such glowing reviews as Elizabeth. I assure you we don't pay her :) Maybe Elizabeth would like to join our forum too! I can see why people might complain on these feedback things but it's good to see some good feedback also.  (Version 1.5.2)

    FLARCH  I forgot to mention that minor bug(?) i've noted in the past in more than one Shoecake game does not seem to have been corrected in recent versions.

    Occasionally when a piece is clicked (chosen from the bottom) and rapidly dragged onto the board, either the mouse button is detected late as having been released, or mistakenly as having been pressed again.

    If the piece is overlapping another, there is not a problem. Otherwise, the piece winds up being placed wherever it happens to be.

    I and others have noted this behavior through many mice and many versions.  (Version 1.4.6)
