Our take on Spectrubes
Several cubes move at the same time under different rules, so progress depends on coordinating behaviors that may point in opposite directions.
What is Spectrubes?
Spectrubes is a puzzle game drawing on the era of home computers, including the Commodore 64 and other eighties systems.
Several cubes are directed simultaneously, but their movement patterns differ: one might travel vertically upward while another heads the opposite way. Dangerous cubes act as obstacles and must be bypassed. Across 100 stages, players manipulate the surroundings and coordinate the cubes to solve challenges. The game also includes worldwide score competition and Steam achievements that can be shared with friends. Its central structure combines retro computer themes, contrasting cube behaviors, environmental puzzles, and hazard avoidance.
