Make good use of your boxes so that Qbby can reach the goal. In this game, boxes can now be placed in two different places, so instead of needing to choose one solution, you can now mix and match them. For example, you can now simultaneously bridge a gap and shield yourself from hazards, and there are plenty of new stages that test this new versatility.
