V6’s artwork is more digitally focused than in other versions. It combines foreign themes from V5 with some classic ideas from earlier versions. For one, V4 is named “The Love.”Also, each bonus has romantic lyrics and imagery.Īlive is the second “contemporary” version of Incredibox. Like V2, V4’s subject matter is romantic, though more clearly so. It’s no coincidence that the French developers used a French genre for their French audience. Plus, V4 was an adaptation of SFSG’s France-exclusive Mixforpeace AXE® partnership game for the Axe Boat Festival. While French house is largely unknown outside of France, SFSG may be more familiar with it, as it is a French company. The musical style is explicitly stated as French house. The first beat and fourth effect are electronic the second effect, fifth melody, and third voice are in formal attire the second, third, and fourth beats, the first, third, and fourth melodies, and the first, fourth, and fifth voices seem pop or hip-hop-related and the first, third, and fifth effect, second melody, and second voices seem water-related. The characters do not share fashion, not even across categories, though there are some consistent types of outfits. One difference, though, is each category’s color.
INCREDIBOX V4 COMBOS LOVE FULL
V4 used the same techinques that V3 did: full color artwork, more adventurous music, and more detail. The Love is the second “modern” version of Incredibox with a pop feel like V3 but with a dash of local culture. All three bonuses are about common themes in pop music, such as doing what makes you happy or socially maturing. This version’s musical style is explicitly stated to be electropop. The effects all wear futuristic clothing and the second wears clothing resembling Daft Punk. This is likely referencing the historical conflict between the groups. The melodies all wear American clothing, whether from cowboys of westward expansion (third melody) or the American continents’ natives (all other melodies). The beats and voices aren’t definite, but the beats seem to reflect hip-hop fashion and the voices ’70s fashion from disco. Something surprising is how each category reflects a historical period.

Even the symbols for each character are parts of their outfit instead of abstract shapes.

Each category (beats, effects, melodies, and voices) is more explicitly designated using that color. V3 uses full color in its artwork, a departure from the grayscale of previous versions. Sunrise is the first “modern” version of Incredibox with full color artwork, more adventurous music, and more detail.
