About

Set The Route

Features
Read full description

"Set the Route" is a logic-based game where your strategic thinking and attention to detail are the keys to success.  Your goal is to correctly assign routes for cubes so they can reach their destinations without any losses. Rules of the Game Cubes move automatically along pre-generated roads. Your task is to set the routes for the cubes to move efficiently and reach their targets. At the end of the routes are storage points, but each point can hold only 5 cubes. Once full, the storage point disappears and becomes unavailable. If even one cube fails to reach its target, you lose, and the level must be restarted. Game Features Automatic road generation:  The roads are generated automatically, so players don’t build them but must make smart routing decisions. Limited storage capacity:  Each storage point has a strict limit and disappears after being filled, adding an extra layer of strategy. Increasing difficulty:  As you progress, the routes become more complex, and the number of cubes increases, requiring sharper focus and better planning. What Makes It Unique? Tactical decisions: The player's challenge is to analyze the pre-generated road network and choose the best paths. Intense dynamics: Limited time for decision-making makes every choice critical. Clean minimalism: Simple controls and a sleek interface let you fully focus on solving the puzzles. "Set the Route" is a challenge for those who love solving complex problems. Can you guide all the cubes and make the best use of the available routes? Test your skills and logical thinking now!
