Boxville is a game that will both enamor you with its overwhelming charm & calming visuals, just as it will tick you the ♥♥♥♥ off with its sometimes nonsensical solutions & finicky features.

The mechanics and interaction feel natural and while minimalistic, they get the point across - the only exception to this was the menu feature of wiping all previous progress, which I admit I did, simply because it wasn't clear enough what the button did and I was curious to find out.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
11 of 158 sampled reviews raised it
The puzzles themselves are not too easy or too hard to figure out, just the right amount of difficulty.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

So if you like point-n-clicks, puzzles, a cozy atmosphere, a captivating soundtrack, or the cute aesthetics you see before you, then its pretty safe to say you'll find something to enjoy with this short, but tricky, title.
