I'm Just A Cube

I'm Just A Cube is a puzzle game about going from 3D to 2D and back.

You are a cube on a grid. You can walk, and you can climb one block. That is not enough to get anywhere, so you have one other move: drop the whole world to 2D.

Fold it flat and everything collapses along the direction you are looking. Blocks that were far apart in depth land on the same square, and the gap between them stops existing. Walk across it. Stand the world back up, and you are somewhere you could not have walked to.

The camera turns in ninety degree steps. Choosing which way to look before you fold is the puzzle.

FOUR WORLDS, AND EACH ONE TEACHES YOU SOMETHING NEW

• NATURE - go 2D, cross the gap, come back. • FIRE - fire is solid, and it burns you. • WATER - stand on water, and it leaves nothing behind in 2D. • DESERT - shove a crate and the 2D world changes.

Every world also has a level on a real clock, where a lethal plane sweeps the board one slice at a time and you have three lives to get where you are going. Those are the reaction ones, and there is one in each world.

Every world ends with a fight. The pack moves on its own clock, learns which row you are standing in and fires down it, and the only way to put one down is to fold while it is sharing your silhouette.

Clear all four and a fifth world opens with sixty more levels in it.
