Philadelphia's Favorite Box

Punch all the boxes. Miss three times and you're out.

Jam

This is my submission for the One Hour Game Jam 499 following the theme "Boxing". The jam takes place every Saturday at 19:00 CEST (in case that you want to give it a shot).

Context

I'm making one minigame a week. Each of them takes me from between 1 and 2 hours to around 6, depending on how many sprites and behaviours there are. As a general rule, I try to keep the total time at the lower side of that range (even after accounting for a good 15-45 minutes of fine-tuning and polishing).

Why am I doing this?

For me, this is a little exercise in game design. The duration and scope allow me to keep doing this regularly and, while any game made in such a short time must be necessarily simple (and the possibilities are therefore limited), it's still interesting to come up with ideas that suit the themes both conceptually and gameplay-wise, and try to shape them using mechanics that are as distinct as possible from each other (given the limitations).
