Looking for a quick arcade game? Tiny Boxes runs in the browser and needs no download. Think block & tetris-like — that is the shape of it. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.

How to play Tiny Boxes
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |
| Spacebar | Primary action |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
Difficulty in Tiny Boxes comes from the game itself rather than from waiting, unlocking or paying, which is rarer than it should be. It works as well on a phone on a bus as it does on a desktop.
