Description

The ultimate postal service has arrived... self-delivering cardboard boxes!

Unbox: Newbie's Adventure is a retro-inspired physics platformer about rolling cardboard boxes; enjoy an epic single player adventure and grab your friends for four-player fun in local multiplayer races and battles!

Global Postal Service is nearing bankruptcy and in an attempt to save themselves, they have created living, self-delivering boxes. Their latest cardboard creation, Newbie is here to save the day. Battle against the dastardly Wild Cards across huge worlds full of challenges, collectibles and boxy boss battles!



From tropical islands to frozen peaks, filled with collectibles and cardboard characters, Unbox takes you around the world to save GPS, defeat Boss Wild and his miniature minions. Find and complete challenges on each world to earn stamps and, once you have enough, it’s time to take on Boss Wild! Using the power of Unreal Engine 4, the world of Unbox: Newbie's Adventure is filled with physics fun: buildings will crumble and boxes will tumble in this explosive adventure!





Once you’ve saved the world, grab your friends for classic four player fun! Enter the arena to battle your buddies in a range of game modes:
  • Boxing: Shoot fireworks, avoid water!
  • Collect: Grab the most tape, where will it appear next?
  • Thief: Steal coins, ruin friendships!
  • Oddbox: Become the most wanted, avoid the hunters!

Gotta go fast? Try Delivery, a racing game mode where boxes will plummet down perilous routes as they try to reach the finish box first! With 11 diverse Local Multiplayer maps and a fully customisable tournament, prepare for endless cardboard carnage!





Make sure you dress to impress with a massive range of cardboard customisation! Completing challenges, finding hidden stamps and rescuing innocent boxes from the Wild Cards will unlock a range of cuboid clothes and accessories. From formal wear to fancy dress, there are over 40,000 combinations of hats, clothes accessories and funny faces.

Don’t be a square! Think outside the box and create your very own cool cube!

Criminally underrated physics platformed. Movement and momentum take a moment to get used to, but is very much part of the charm of the game in my opinion. There's plenty here for casual players and people looking for a

A good choice for fans of collectathon-style games. While the game is short and the story rather limited, I found the platforming and traversal enjoyable. There are definitely better options at full price, but I can't

Very charming little collectathon. Quite easy but still enjoyable, the physics and platforming is smooth and nice. The Multiplayer mode is fun to mess around in. Surprisingly good music too! Mope/10

Light hearted game. Can be played in short periods or when watching a show. Achievements are easy to get. The platforming is fun and not challenging. The power ups/ move sets are silly and fun for the player being a

Maybe back in 2016 this would of been an acceptable game as there were not many new Collect-a-thon platformers coming out at the time or at all really that emulated Banjo Kazooie. But in today's age or even back then,
