I think it would be nice if left click picked up the nearest box instead of having to click directly onto it, and it took me a while to figure out you can jump with W (instead of the spacebar) which made walljumping a bit tricky.
Great job overall!
a lot of times it seemed the enemies killed themselves by walking into boxes i hadn't touched. the only time the boss died was when i accidently killed him (oops) and the only time i died was when a glitch crushed me with my own box.
I'm surprised i haven't seen more bodyguard submissions. i suggest you build on this concept after voting is done.
Could have had more levels, but this is difficult in a game jam ;D
I little more clarity would have been nice when it comes to the interaction with the boxes. Maybe highlight the box when hovered, or tint the sprite a little or something like that.
Regardless, great idea and a nice execution! :)
Would have liked to see the box mechanic used more, but overall a solid entry.
