What The Cubes turns everything into blocks, and every block into a puzzle. Chubby elephants and grinning robots, strawberries, lighthouses, UFOs, matryoshka dolls: a whole world built from colorful little bricks. Your job: take each sculpture apart until nothing is left. Your only tool: holes. Send out a hole, and every free block of its color pops off the sculpture and drops in, one after another, until the hole is full and closes up. Sounds easy, until you look closer. The color you need is buried under three others. Each hole only fits so many blocks. Space on the board is tight. Send the wrong hole and it sits there half-empty, taking up a spot while the blocks it wants stay trapped deep inside the sculpture. This is a real puzzle: somewhere in that pile of blocks is the right order, and you have to find it. Study the shape, work out what sits on top of what, send the hole that opens up the next one, and the whole sculpture comes apart in one glorious chain. That moment, when the plan clicks and the shape melts away, 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 come off. Mystery holes keep their color secret. Frozen holes thaw only after enough other holes are sent. Linked holes insist on going together, and locked holes 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: - Take apart adorable block sculptures, from tiny cacti to fire trucks and pirate flags - Figure out the right hole order to free the blocks buried deepest - Watch freed blocks pour into their hole, the reward for every good move - Outsmart frozen, hidden, linked and locked holes as the puzzles get craftier - Savor the perfect finish when the last block drops in Every sculpture is a knot made of blocks. The holes are how you untie it. Can you clear them all? Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
