About this game

Synchronous: The Metal Box Game is a 2D puzzle platformer game based around metal boxes that move synchronously. Different boxes have unique abilities. However, each metal box possesses a magnet that enables it to remain on any metal surface on command. (This is the main mechanic of the game.)

Content:

This game contains 45+ meticulously crafted puzzle levels divided into five chapters, each featuring numerous gizmos and gadgets that must be navigated and utilized to reach the goal. The first 30 levels are offered for free, but the most creative and challenging levels are available to be purchased for US$2.99.

Each level also contains an elusive collectible to reward creative thinkers. Some levels test primarily platforming skills, while others are solely puzzle-based. In the platforming levels, when one box is destroyed, the level must be restarted. This is not the case for the puzzle levels. If you think any level is miscategorized, please let me know.

Chapter completion times are recorded, so after exploring the entire game, you can test your speed as well. Your progress, times, and collectibles are constantly saved, so you can always pick up right where you left off.

Development:

This game is still in development, so I would love feedback and criticism on every aspect of the game. It is currently at version b0.16 pre7. You can give feedback through the link on the Title Screen.

There are currently five layered music tracks implemented in the game.

The game is continually being updated (though not consistently) and and I welcome all suggestions and feedback!

Thanks for playing!
