Alright, since you have probably already seen some of the basic cubes in the screenshots, let’s talk a little about some of them and how they work. You will discover a lot of different cubes throughout the game, each of them with their own distinct behaviour. These are just some of them:
This is the most basic cube. You can pick this fellow up and place it in small gaps and use it as a bridge to get past them. If you need a small hole filled, this cube will get the job done!
This cube is like the stretchy cousin of the one mentioned earlier. When you place it down on the ground or in a large gap, it will extend and become up to three times as long. Place it in a gap to create a bridge across larger gaps, or place it directly on the ground to make it extend upwards.
Plungers can do more than breaking a clog. If you see a plunger cube you know there’s a button to be found somewhere on the level. Step on the button and the plungercube will reach out for the nearest cube in the direction its facing. It will then pull that cube towards it so that the cube ends up next to the plungercube.With clever cooperation you can use one character to press the button while the other character rides on the cube.
