Our take on OxU
The bounce point arrives when a puzzle requires several components to form one working circuit. Players who cannot mentally track object connections or camera orientation may stall there, while OxU Lite offers a lower-complexity alternative rather than a different puzzle format.
What is OxU?
Build electrical circuits in a three-dimensional puzzle using portals, cubes, lasers, and other components.
OxU contains 77 levels, a dynamic camera, achievements, Steam Cloud support, and relaxing music. Mouse controls move objects, rotate the camera, and turn objects. The game also includes OxU Lite, a free DLC version with less complex puzzles. Its presentation is minimalistic, and its stated inspirations include klocki and Portal.
