You initially only have access to spine cubes so you can only build cannons at the start, which have a fairly long range and periodically shoot sets of three bullets at their targets. There are three offensive structures and three support structures which can be built based on how you combine cubes. Structures can be manually taken down by walking up to them and pressing X and, since cubes respawn shortly after sliding out of the level or after they or structures they are used to build are destroyed, any structures placed on temporarily empty spaces which normally hold cubes will be instantly destroyed. There are three types of cubes in the game and when two cubes sliding in opposite directions collide they create a structure at the point of impact.
You can kill some enemies by smashing cubes into them and cubes will even remain intact and keep sliding if they deal enough damage to destroy an enemy, but most challenges need to be overcome through combining cubes. The catch here is that once you pull a cube it will keep moving in that direction until it goes offscreen, sinks into water, gets destroyed by crashing into you, rocks, enemies, or an immobile cube, or combines with another moving cube. Cubes can be pulled from anywhere in the level as long is there’s not a mountain in the way and you can even pull cubes at once by rapidly tapping X. Specifically, every level is filled with cubes which can be pulled (and only pulled) in a straight line. But just what is a Cubetractor? As the name hints at, a Cubetractor is someone who can attract cubes. It’s a ridiculous premise and it works well alongside plenty of bits of humorous dialogue between various characters, most of whom want to stop Endroi from randomly destroying their stuff. In this game you take on the role of Endroi, a blue robot who is so focused on becoming a Cubetractor master that he starts attacking random fortresses throughout the land while believing them to be Cubetractor exams. This is a fairly challenging game, it’s a one-of-a-kind experience, and best of all it is thoroughly entertaining.
You must figure out the best ways to use the cubes at your disposal to quickly build up defenses and defeat your enemies with stationary turrets all while dodging around whatever dangers the game throws your way. Is it an RTS, is it a tower defense game, or is it something entirely different? Cubetractor is a very odd game about moving cubes to smash enemies and make buildings.
