Gameplay

In Boxxle II, the female love interest of the protagonist, Willy, has been abducted by an alien spacecraft. Willy must push boxes to earn money to buy a spacecraft to rescue her. The objective of the game, as in Boxxle and other sokoban puzzles are to push boxes into all marked positions to complete the level. Players can press a button to undo their last move.

There are 120 levels in groups of ten. The game introduces a new feature: 'reappearance', which allows players to review and change their moves in the last attempt of a level to omptimise their strategy. It also features an editor in 'create' mode for players to create and modify levels. A password system allows players to save progress.
