Our take on Link The Cubes
Rather than moving a single character independently through each puzzle, the game ties movement together: a blocked cube stops every cube linked to it. That shared movement rule makes group positioning the central constraint, while portals serve as the route to further levels.
What is Link The Cubes?
Link The Cubes is a top-down puzzle game built around moving linked cubes to portals.
Control one cube, connect it to others, and move the connected group together. When an obstacle blocks one cube, the entire group is unable to move, so each move depends on the positions of all linked cubes. Reaching portals frees cubes and opens access to further levels. The game has 100 playable levels, with obstacles and puzzles that become more difficult as players progress. Saved cubes also allow exploration of more of the game world.
