There is nothing inherently supernatural or supranatural about what "Magic Box" presents in this game, and they aren't exactly "puzzles" either (unless you have a below-average IQ) so when the publisher markets the entire game as a work of wizardry and tries to dismiss the most mundane acts such as clicking on boxes as "Magic", you can immediately tell it smells of rotten fishy business.
The reasoning behind this is most likely to make the game more appealing to its cumsoomers (which are likely to be very few and dwindling judging by the looks of it). Considering the publisher is unable to put out an actual quality game with attractive, fresh, modern graphics and presentation, they must then rely on scummy and deceptive practices, false advertisements and identity theft, as seen by their other release "Among Ass", clearly a cheap bootleg of the famous "Among Us".
They also released the following crapware / deadware:
- "Bleeding Border"
- "Inner Silence"
- "Dead Drop"
- "Demented"
- "Drunken Fight Simulator"
- "Through The Mirror"
- "Machine Learning: Episode 1",
- "Byte Family"
- "Dark Shadows: Army Of Evil"
- "Hollow's Land"
- "Dangerous Bullets"
- "Synth Ninja"
None of these are worth your purchase nor time investment, so it should come as no surprise that the publisher has chosen to proudly present "Magic Box" to the community. You might as well publish a game that is just a picture of a cat being idle or perhaps resting in loaf position, and proceed to call it "Magic Wizard Cat Super Spells Hogwarts Abracadabra", which would be either deceptive cumsoomerism meant to make up for the lack of natural polish and low market value your low-hanging fruits might be generating, concerns about the passing of time and younger rival developers with greater talent and superior assets getting ahead of you, or just dementia (which considering their release 'Dementia' would make sense).
Either way, the publisher must be snoozing or living in la la land to expect to be able to sell this as a "magic game", when the boxes are extremely visible and clearly marked with well-recognized symbols that even a 5 year old child would be able to tell you what it means.
The only Potter here is all the pot this publisher must be smoking in their spare time to cope with their rapidly decaying value as a game developer despite their apparent pride and certainty in the products they are selling (but then they wouldn't focus on deadware / crapware such as this), making it impossible to recommend "Magic Box" for the time being.
It should also be noted the most information I can find on "ENOOPS" is this [url=https://www.enoopfood.tech/ ] food tech company [/url] of a similar name which simply shows a white screen and tells you it is "functioning normally".

Even for $0.49 this was quite underwhelming. First off, it launches fullscreen with no option to go windowed (or any options whatsoever). There are only 28 levels, with very little variety or increase in difficulty. There were several times I didn't understand why the level had restarted - when in actuality I had moved onto the next level, they just looked incredibly similar.
The "puzzles" are meant for people with room-temperature IQ. There isn't a single one here that can't be solved at first glance. However, that's only if the inconsistent physics gods pity you. There were many times I restarted a level and had boxes fall differently.
It took about 10 minutes to complete.
