This is a work in progress puzzle game, currently with 6 levels. Z to pick up / drop boxes, or jump. X restarts the level. You must put all of the boxes onto the button to unlock the door.

don't know why there aren't more comments on this, this game is really cute and i really love the background and environment design

This is really cool so far! I especially like the fourth and fifth puzzles being tutorials for new mechanics. I also really like how the first level makes it clear that you can't push the boxes. I think it might help to have separate buttons for jumping and interacting with boxes, maybe restarting the level could be a menu item.

I think having jumping and interacting with boxes be the same button is an interesting game mechanic, being unable to jump whilst carrying a (possibly) really heavy box. (It gives a bit of reasoning as to why the player can't just push down a button by standing on it too)
Yes, you could make those two separate buttons, but with how little buttons the pico-8 controller has, having one button be a quick way to restart and the other doing double duty + showing the thing that makes this puzzle game interesting is the better option IMO.
I'm really excited to see what this game evolves into!

decided to work on this again, development is still going slow. however, here's a small preview ....

Great! I really enjoyed playing what you wrote so far. I'm looking forward to your next version.

Yep, interesting logic game, @qwrt. Needs more levels !

If you're stuck, consider all the elements new players will not know about and veterans that will.

Gold star to keep you going.
