Keep Going: Trick Box

My first 3D game: you are a red box, and every level is a puzzle about getting it somewhere it doesn't want to go.

The problem

I had made small Python games and wanted to know if I could make a real 3D game on my own: levels, menus, saving, the whole thing.

It started in Unity as Just Keep Going (also on itch.io). Then I rebuilt the idea from scratch in Godot as Trick Box. Both self-taught, no AI.

A level-based 3D puzzle game where you control a red box, with difficulty that ramps up level by level.
Save logic that remembers your progress.
Skins you can switch between, and a small options menu.
Builds for Windows, Android and Linux, published on itch.io in August 2024.

15, no AI, lots of red boxes.

Scenes as levels. Each level is its own Godot scene. A scene manager holds the ordered list, so adding a level is: copy a level scene, edit it, add it to the list.
GDScript for everything: movement, puzzle logic, saving progress and switching skins.

Finishing is its own skill. It is still marked "in development" on itch.io. [Say why it stopped there, and what you would finish or cut today.]

Made solo, with no AI assistance, at 15. The itch.io page is tagged no-AI.
