Our take on PortalBox
The defining detail is the combination of box-pushing rules with portals, which changes how boxes can reach their destinations and forms the basis of every puzzle.
What is PortalBox?
PortalBox combines classic box-pushing mechanics with portals that change how boxes and spaces interact.
Players work through puzzles where portal use makes previously impossible arrangements solvable, gradually learning how the portal system affects each challenge. The game includes more than 100 handcrafted puzzles arranged around a progressive learning curve. Each puzzle focuses on applying portal knowledge alongside traditional box-pushing decisions, creating a structured series of logic challenges.

- 02Handcrafted Puzzles
