Box

Boxes are very useful to Rich.

They float! This is particularly important when you have to get across water. Push them in and you instantly have access to that square of water. But once they are in the water, they stay. You can't reuse a wet box. You can, however, use several boxes to make a bridge across a river that is wider than one square.

Boxes also block creatures that may be chasing you. Use a box to block the exit of the spider, robot, or bug-eye that is trying to get you. Just be sure there isn't anything you need to get to in there.

Boxes can also hold rocks and arrows in place as you are maneuvering them. A box will rest on top of a pit, but pushing that box off the pit will cause you to fall in the pit! Do not put a box on top of a pit unless you don't want to use it again. There are one or two clever ways to get boxes back from on top of pits, but it is rarely possible.

Some boxes have hidden keys in them. You will receive the key when you push the box that has the key in it.

Boxes will fry almost as quickly as you do if they land in lava.
