## Description

_Q.U.B.E._ , short for Quick Understanding of Block Extrusion, is a puzzle
game played from a first-person perspective. The player controls a silent and
unknown protagonist in a sterile environment reminiscent of Portal’s testing
chambers. The goal is merely to proceed through the different rooms. The
character can be moved around, look freely in any direction, and jump. The
main puzzle elements consist of manipulating differently coloured cubes in the
environment, combining speed, reflexes, physics, timing and spacial thinking.

At the start of the game a large gate is shown with nine squares. Each square
denotes a series of rooms that introduce a new puzzle element. Each set of
levels builds upon the previous ones by taking all earlier mechanics and
introducing a new one, which makes the puzzles progressively harder. A red
cube in a wall for instance can be pulled out in three steps to form a bridge
or a temporary platform. One button is used to pull it out, another to make it
withdraw. Each colour offers a new possibility. Blue ones launch the character
into the air, yellow ones form blocks with different height, green ones are
used as platforms to reach heights and can be reset to an original position,
etc. Many puzzles have buttons where shapes such as balls or blocks needed to
be guided through a path where the player manipulates cubes along the way to
make it reach a destination. The sequence can be repeated until it is
completed. Other rooms have purple arrows that turn the environment 90
degrees. There is no health, HUD or opposition.
