User guide
Play mode
The objective is to complete each level by walking into white cubes.
You can push certain cubes by walking into them. Combine two cubes by pushing one into another cube.
The RED, GREEN and BLUE elements of the cubes determine if they can be combined or not. If both cubes contains a certain element, the cubes can't be combined.
These are all combinations possible:
- Red + Green = Yellow
- Green + Blue = Cyan
- Blue + Red = Purple
- Cyan + Red = White (*)
- Purple + Green = White (*)
- Yellow + Blue = White (*)
Try to get much as possible white cubes.
Notes:
- You can only push and not pull cubes.
- Combine cubes to clear a path to other area's which must be done first.
- Keep cubes away from the edges because they can't be moved back.
