What The Cubes turns everything into cubes, and everything into a puzzle. Chubby elephants and grinning robots, strawberries, lighthouses, UFOs, matryoshka dolls — a whole world sculpted from colorful little blocks. Your job: shred each sculpture down to nothing. Your only tool: buses. Send in a bus, and every cube of its color breaks free and comes running, tumbling off the art and hopping aboard until the bus is full and rolls away. Sounds easy — until you look closer. The color you need is buried under three others. Seats are limited. Parking is tight. Send the wrong bus and it sits there half-empty, clogging a lane while the cubes it's waiting for stay trapped deep in the sculpture. This is a real puzzle: somewhere in that pile of cubes is the right order, and you have to find it. Study the shape, figure out what's on top of what, send the bus that unlocks the next one — and the whole sculpture unravels in one glorious chain of sprinting cubes. That moment, when the plan clicks and the shape dissolves, is what What The Cubes is all about. And the puzzles keep finding new ways to fight back. Colors hide deep inside, revealed only as the outer layers strip away. Mystery buses arrive with their color under wraps. Frozen buses need cubes to thaw. Linked buses insist on leaving together, and locked buses wait for a key. Every level is a fresh shape with a fresh knot to untangle — and once it's gone, another is always waiting. In What The Cubes, you will: - Shred adorable cube sculptures, from tiny cacti to fire trucks and pirate flags - Figure out the right bus order to free the cubes buried deepest - Watch freed cubes come sprinting to their bus — the reward for every good move - Outsmart frozen, hidden, linked, and locked buses as the puzzles get craftier - Savor that perfect final send-off when the last cube hops aboard Every sculpture is a knot made of cubes. The buses are how you untie it. Can you clear them all? Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
