Don't let the man or your burgeoning psychosis keep you down! In this quirky, bouncy 3D platform-puzzler, you play as a hapless worker in a cardboard box assembly plant finally driven to the drink of insanity by his endless, repetitive work and finds himself transported to a weird and puzzling realm where the very world flips and rotates as you move. Will you ever get home? Do you even want to? A fun, silly game with one heck of an intro.

Yeah, the concept does looks like BOXGAME, though it is 3D and no ads :D
I liked the concept of the game, but could not get it to work well with my computer. When I would stop pressing the arrow keys, the player would kep moving. When I tried to tap the arrow keys, the player jumped farther than I wanted them to. Fix that, and I would play it until completion.
Gah!!! This blasted level with all of the false doors is driving me insane... Help a buddy out with a walkthrough maybe?
...but the camera ISN'T fixed!
damnit, gotta find my 3D glasses now
That "brown" game-in-game is awful...
I played long enough to unlock the 3D mode.
I had to put it away at that point, though, because I realize that if I didn't, suddenly it would be six hours later. (We all know that feeling, right?)
For the level with all the doors, this path worked for me (I am assuming it isn't randomized like some other elements):
Does anybody know what the second unlockable item does? Does it have any effect besides a different appearance?
Seconding Vogo's comment - the game within a game is awful.
The rest is fantastic. The mid-level cutscenes are short and cute, and the worlds as short enough that they never outlive their stay. The level gimmicks are varied and fun.
Some of the later levels are awfully complicated, though, to the point that I solved them mostly by trial and error. The best levels are the ones that featured a single trick that makes the level easy once you figure it out (for example, when you have to use the same turner-tile twice in a row to reach the middle).
The bonus levels are all fun and introduce goofy new tricks, except the third bonus level which is really dull and time consuming.
I played through in one sitting and enjoyed every minute. Good game!
How do you play the game-within-a-game?
Anyone figured out the final bonus room yet?
For the final bonus room, I found it helped to use the Flat Mode unlockable so you could more easily keep track of where you were in relation to the exit. I finished it eventually, but it was all trial-and-error, jumping off ladders and holding various directions to see where I could land.
Won't load, just won't load in FF, GChrome or IE, with latest flash.
do I miss a plugin?
I'm in one of the bonus rooms, trying to play that game-within-a-game:
I LOVED that cowboy bebop style intro. And the graphics move incredibly smooth considering it's in 3D. Very impressive
This game rocks. I'm amazed that it doesn't use Unity. That's impressive.
To get the first two gems in the teleporty level:
Interesting, but not for me... Perhaps its a sleep-deprived thing, but I just can't wrap my head around to understand the levels... Loved the intro animations, though!
For the box-folding game-within-a-game:
Anyone know how to get the code for the second bonus world (the one with the counter), or the last gem for the 4th world in Trip VIII (the one with all the doors)?
The code in the second bonus world
Wow, this game embodies coolness and the whole rollercoaster ride feel is fun, once I got past the motion sickness.
There was almost a moment of eye-candy in the opening credits, but I'm not big on hairy chests... :)
For anyone still stuck, I just finished a video walkthrough. It gets all of the gems and completes all but one of the levels in under par time.
You can find the first part (of 3) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEfu7lt8oik
What button do you press to active Flat and Prophet modes?
Game still doesn't load, did I do something wrong?
[The game is loading just fine. You might want to try updating your Flash Player. Also try disabling any browser extensions (ad blockers) you may have installed. They tend to interfere with free, ad-supported, Flash games. -Jay]
to JIguest. there's a pattern on the doors. you just have to figure it out. if frustrated me as well.
Just discovered this game. I have an easy little trick to beat the 3rd bonus level mini-game.
Now does anyone know what prophet mode actually does?
That would be "brink" of insanity, Freudian slip me thinks?
For anyone who may have Chad T. Lower's problem with character control, try clicking in the game window (click several times if you must).
That's how I solved the problem on my computer.
slick; fairly well done; wonkier controls than anything made by this large a company should ever have; nowhere near as good as sequester, &, obviously, not as innovative as the original, BOXGAME.
